Making Me Laugh
Posted: Thu 23 February, 2006 Filed under: General Leave a comment »“Falling” isn’t something I think I’ve done, when it comes to love. I’m not even sure I’ve even riccocheted or sashayed.
It’s just something I’ve come to and found myself in.
Like IKEA.
Thank you, Anna for that comment on this Pandemian post. Brilliant.
Final Day
Posted: Wed 8 February, 2006 Filed under: General Leave a comment »Today is the final day of the bathroom suite replacement. Our nice plumbers sorted out the majority of the stuff yesterday, so again we were left with working toilet etc. – always a good thing! Of course, if they hadn’t, it also would’ve meant I’d have been far more reticent about drinking beer last night.
Today he should just be here for a couple of hours, doing the finishing bits. And lo, we’ll have a complete new suite. Happy Day.
Escalation

Well worth the read.
I wrote about this – albeit in a slightly more ranty fashion a long time back. It’s good to see nothing’s changed. Well, except the *cough* design of this site – seeing an old page I hadn’t got round to moving over really is pretty scary. And eye-damaging…

New Glasses
Posted: Wed 25 January, 2006 Filed under: Domestic, General Leave a comment »Well, in a short while I’m going to be heading to the opticians to pick up my new glasses. They’ve been waiting a couple of days, but this is the first opportunity I’ve had to go and get them.
I’m quite looking forward to it, actually. Although that’s probably an indication that I really am quite a sad person in oh so many ways…
Updated : Well, they’re both groovy. Some slight weirdness in one pair, but I think that’s down to a change in lens shape and thickness, which is making one section of vision slightly blurry. I’ll either get used to it, or they’ll fix it. But yes, in general, well sorted.
