this week i have been mostly...

i bought the first series of the Fast Show on DVD. Scorchio! It has been keeping me entertained.
I also, rather depressingly, signed on :(
To cheer me up, i went walking in Snowdonia. I was there in an official role, teaching scouts how to navigate. That didn't stop me imitating a mountain goat.















I then went on a weekend trip to London and saw all the sights (except for the Queen who is apparently horizontal with a back injury. Gawd Bless you Ma'am.)
















Then to top up my joy, i bought a car. It is big and blue. Notice how i have lovingly adapted the bush so i can park it on the drive.

life at home

I have been a bit lazy updateing my blog but i've been sooo busy procrastinating.
Last week i painted
6 medium sized bedrooms
1 small bathroom
1 hallway
6 doors
1 mile of skirting board
and i had a big fire.

Yesterday was a highlight for me. As a family we debated the length of time bread was taking to toast in our toaster. My father's estimate was 3 minutes (too long, inducing premature worrying and frustration) It used to take the length of time for another piece of toast to be buttered, jammed and then eaten. "just over two minutes" was deemed the accurate timing of a control experiment. I predict this is an increase over this historical life of our toaster. Maybe it's time for a replacement.
