I have my immersion heater on a timer, comes on at about 1am for a half-hour, then 3am and then a bit later (6am or something) to take advantage of the white metre rates (off-peak electricity for water and / or heating - I hate storage heaters). I forgot the other day that I turned it off as I was going to be away overnight, and then forgot to turn it back on when I got back. I wondered when I got in the bath last night why the water was a bit lukewarm.
I just put on a load of washing, was about to do the washing up too but also found out how hard is it to do that with cold water! :) Maybe it's time to hoover then. I don't think there's anything else I need to do today. Best finish of Feet of Clay in the City Watch Trilogy so that I can take this book back to the Library, only a month late. Oops.
"You say that everything sounds the same, then you go buy them" - can you tell I'm listening to the Streets? :) Blasting it loud. Not singing along, only because it's actually quite hard to sing to this. Next I may put on the Avalanches, 'cuz I haven't listened to that in AGES!
Speaking of music, I went looking for my database of CDs the other day so that I could update it with my more recent purchases, only to remember that dagnabbit I lost my entire Windows partition thanks to a careless keystroke in Grub's installation. DAMN! I spent hours doing that, I'm now going to have to spend hours doing it again. *groans* Guess it gives me something to do, eh?
