And now it's sunny out - sunnier than it's been all day

It's intermittently sunny here, in between being torrential.

Oh, and that's a zenchury by the way.

In other news, it transpires that B&Q have decent looking bifold doors available at £80, the only question being will it fit in the car.

And I bought a Miele tumble drier.

Feeling poor now.

Apparently it will turn up sometime between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. next Sunday.

I sincerely hope it won't be 7 a.m.

Despite my intention to have some spag bol for tea, I ended up having kedgeree just to use up some of the vast quantity of frozen fish in the freezer plus 3 of the couple of dozen eggs festering in the fridge.

It was very nice though I went a bit overboard on the chilli.

On a different tack, it's quite funny to see that poster's names don't change in quoted posts when their posting name changes.

IIRC you can change it to anything; just leave the ID number of the quoted post as it is to make the link back

Back to trying to sort the kitchen out, and the end wall (opposite the window) has got its first coat of paint.

The logistics of this were trickier than you might expect, as that was where a load of stuff was piled - primarily the new wall units, still in their flat packs, and the worktop that will go on top of the new base unit I built ages ago. All that, and various other bits of junk, had to be moved out of the way. Now I'll have to shift it around again so I can get out to go to the Chinese for dinner

Tomorrow that wall gets its second coat, and I start on the long wall with the chimney breast, which can be done in three stages. Existing wall units need to come down at each end, so I've got to move either all the crockery if I start at the window end, or all the food if I start at the opposite end. Thinking about it, the window end is probably best, as that will get the two biggest new wall cabinets out of the way, which will make it easier to sort out the other end where there's also the base unit to deal with. It's all very complicated

Fish for dinner. I got rid of some plants and then went and got more...

You had plants with fish? I hope they were potatoes and carrots.

Good to know you are not Oliver and had more.

Talking about Oliver, anyone read about Mark Lester in the wail?

Mr Lester claimed Jackson asked people in his 'inner circle' including actors Macaulay Culkin and Jack Nicholson if they would donate their sperm so he could have a child with Ms Rowe

To the Chinese for dinner

The lady there was much more relaxed and generally cheery today than she has been for some time. One of the chefs has been ill and she's had to cover various tasks in the kitchen, as well as taking care of the front of house, answering the phone for orders, sorting out the delivery drivers, and whatever else - doing two people's work, basically. But the chef's back now, and she's off to Antigua for a wedding with friends and family next Saturday, so she was pretty happy
