that was the week that was

another week bites the dust...almost...

But not quite, cos tomorrow I'm meeting up with a big bunch of Lifers in London. (Life on Mars fans...not criminals. Although the two aren't mutually exclusive, I imagine XD)

it's gonna be a long day, but I can't wait! Am gonna be up at about 7, in London before 10, then spending the whole day with Wics, before heading to the theatre for the matinee performance of Elling, then off to the pub to meet up with a whole massive load of folks.

In other weekly news...I put a waaaay out of date soggy Dime Bar out for the mice under my bench and they ate the whole thing over two nights. Cripes.

I did some ali welding today - I'm wondering if I don't enjoy it more than stainless! I never used to...

There were TWO pigeon in our flat the other night. Dirty bastards got in through a window that was left open a crack. But today revenge was ours. The nest with the babies in it next door and all the shit etc. was pressure-washed away. Hopefully from now on we can keep the place pigeon-free.

Why does my vacuum cleaner refuse to suck up a TINY piece of fluff which I pick off the carpet by hand and try to feed up it's nozzle...yet suck up a mint humbug that I get too close to?? Useless piece of shite.


My sunburn/blisters/cookedness is waaay better. I'm still peeling off the last bits of my dinosauresque skin, but not only is the skin underneath fine, it's also tanned. I'm quite smug about that. (although not about what a knob I was to cook myself in the first place. Suntan lotion now lives in my bag. Factor 50+.
