It's getting a bit breezy out there - and yet our super-awful Landlord's hnadyman-built fence remains immovable. 3-inch nails into the brickwork is clearly the way forward for sturdy construction...

Today has started well - bought a scratchcard on a whim & won a tenner. That's lunch paid for at the pub then :)

    Did you need glasses to take a second look at the price. LOL.

    Nope. Knew what I needed. Just needed a way to get the money together. No need for glasses = stuff for the project. Win!

Have removed the "cupboard" from the garage. It was constructed of 2 doors, some baton and about 36 3 inch nails. BODGE!

Holiday in San Francisco booked (complete with Cadillac Escalade!) - cheaper than Chicago without a car. Go figure...

Am looking at hotels in Chicago for next year. One of them has a doughnut shop in it. Welcome to the USA!

    It's not Dunkin' Donuts - it's their own coffee shop with a mahoosive display of donuts. And I want them ALL.

    We had one at work a while ago.. Unfortunately for us the largest and hairiest bloke was in the shower and came out wearing a towel. Wasn't a good sight!

Got my "3-word Tuesday" read out on Radio 2 today. Earned myself some brownie points because it was "My wife's awesome".

Got home from holiday, all is well. Then the cistern cracked and flooded the bathroom. And the stopcock is jammed. Bodge job done on the cistern to stop it filling up. Emergency plumber coming with new toilet tomorrow. Argh.

Still too damp to spray. Oh well - it'll have to wait until I am back from holiday.
