Fun, up to a point. When the F-whatever-fighter jet starts bombing the freeway it just turned ridiculous. And WHY did they have to have "that" line in it? *sighs* Otherwsie good escapist fun :)

In other news, another lamb leg, another success :)

In more news, reading people's blogs when you haven't had any contact with them for a number of years is making me feel - let's say - stalkerish. It's weird, though, to see stuff like that.

Bought 3 CDs today after our llittle jaunt round the cirty walls of Chester. I _swear_ it wasn't raining when I looked out the window before we set off. We got soaked. Drenched, even. More than deserving of a latte and half a muffin.

I bought the Zutons (Who Killed the Zutons), Classical Chillout (Yeah I knoiw, but it was all of £3) and the Alternative Album, which appears to be from the same people responsible for "The Best....... In the World" series. Looks good. Haven't listened yet but looks are important, right? ;)

This weekend should have involved tidying the house. It hasn't, really. It mainly involved ant destruction (never do what the bottle says... "Squeeze firmly" really doesn't mean what it says. Not when the nozzle of the bottle comes off and leaves half the bottle on your pathway), replacing the 100w bulb in my standard lamp (the old one was over 6yrs old, not bad really - it didn't burn out, the casing and contacts fell apart probably due to the effects of the heat!), mopping, hoovering and other such delicacies. Oh, and EVENTUALLY getting bathroom storage so we now don't have a box full of Jane's crap sat in the bathroom.

Work has been evil the last two weeks or so. Unfortunately we were a team of 5. Now we're a team of 4. As holidays were all planned in advance when we had 5, 2 people a week have been off for some points. On top of that, another person went on Paternity leave for 2 weeks..... From 25th-29nd of June it was just me, and the other Phil who helped out - thanks Phil. From the 2nd-6th July it's just been me and Anthony, again with help from Phil.

I've been absolutely exhausted. This has been so draining and I wish I wish I wish I could just have said no, I won't do it, but what are you supposed to do? Just get on with it and hope the eejits all sod off. I try so hard not to get annoyed at them when they've waited 15mins and wasted their time and my time for some piddly thing that if they'd got their arses into gear and looked in a manual.... ahh well that's a whole rant on it's own.

Time for bed...
