No news

Wow, long break. I suppose spending the best part of a week eating and watching TV isn't really terribly inspiring in terms of blogworthy adventures.

Christmas was pleasant. We ate a lot, possibly our own weight in turkey and ham, and watched more tv than seems feasible. Most relaxing.

It is fearsomely cold here at the moment. Yes, I know all the North Americans out there will be snorting with mirth at the idea, but to us a day which doesn't get over 0 degrees Centigrade is a Very Cold Day.

Am still trying to get over my disappointment at the lack of Dinotopia on the TV so far. Outrageous.

And tomorrow we are off to Homebase to buy replacement lighting. I'll keep you posted. Try to contain your excitement.

Water on the brain

I can't believe it's still raining. I am sick and tired of this bloody weather. Time to emigrate somewhere with blue skies, warm sunshine and friendly simple people. Like, oh, the summer of 1976.

Drove home from work tonight through some incredible Wrath Of God rain, some of which may in fact have been hail.

Discovered in the course of the journey that my windscreen wipers are buggered, so need to get some new blades pronto.

We had a pretty quiet weekend, hence the slight blog hiatus. I sat down a couple of times to do a posting but couldn't think of anything even halfway interesting, so didn't bother. What a slacker.

Trouble is, as soon as I start to try and think of stuff to post, my mind goes blank.

Like now.

Dull post, sorry

Managed to get to the supermarket and back without the car breaking down, catching fire or being nicked. Hurrah.

And tomorrow night we are getting a taxi into town because a few of us are out for a Chinese meal*, so no imminent car-related mishaps are too likely there.

Other news: Been bloody freezing here today. And that, I am sorry to say, is all the news I have.


*Celebrating Mr WithaY's birthday. Bless.
