(...to the tune of "Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay"...)
We're really needing that roof repair, due in March, but which was postponed from September because someone didn't read the small print (and no, it wasn't me). Once the "big job" is underway, or completed, the rest of the work needing done can kick off, including a refurbishment of the office window, which is draughty as hell, and a pain to try and sit in when you're wanting to do serious stuff. I will just have to sit downstairs when necessary until the work is done.
(Okay, enough bitchin'.) Tiem for some news...
ITEM! Just had a nice surprise at the bookshop today - an unexpected half-price purchase! Kinda makes up for earlier in the week (by about a third).
ITEM! All of a sudden, it's the weekend again - and I'd really have liked *gasp* some real work to do these past three days. I'm not entirely back in my groove yet, and that's a pain in the backside. Next week, the exams start - but not until Tuesday...
It's a full week at least.
ITEM! The first big movie of the year is on the horizon - War Horse. I really want to see the stage version, with its beautiful "puppet" horses, as does The Parental, but the cinematic version with real horses may have to do for now. Now, do I read the book (which I just bought) first, or wait...?
ITEM! I'm getting REALLY sick of the piss-poor selection of movies on TV right now. There are surely other films out there that haven't been on twenty times in the last few weeks - and why was Cars the only family film on BBC3 NOT to get shown more than once? Dammit, I missed a chunk of that one.
ITEM! It's funny how Diane Abbott's outburst stopped being news so damned quickly...
