Joining the Dreamwidth rush

I now have a Dreamwidth account - thanks to stephen_dedman - with absolutely nothing in it since my brain has already gone to bed. Will get to it later. I'm still called *ratfan*.

Anybody with any luck or brains would've been at home today but even though it was a day off work, I had a doctor's appt, so traversed the city to attend it. Getting there was ok, dodging the rain, but the full storm broke loose while I was in her office, I think. ["I think you could use *%^&$# ..." "What was that?"] while the rain pelted the outside. Then I discovered that the Fremantle to city train wasn't happening because the train had got wet and didn't like it. Turned out it was power failures. Replacement buses hadn't yet turned up and anyway, have you ever tried cramming yourself on to one bus that's sent to replace one train? So that meant another kilometre or so hiking in the wind to get to regular buses. I think all up it took me two hours to get home.

It's been a beauty of a storm and the garden appreciates all the water, much better than me with my stingy hose but the timing was either terrible or humour on the part of my Goddess.

Salutations. I'll probably see most people from here on Dreamwidth once I work out how to use it, which'll probably require being awake.
