    Just because it's Sunday.

    Any other day it's a struggle.

      Morning denizens

      Nice and sunny out there, and going to remain so for the most part according to the forecast

      I woke at around half six, then again at around half seven, again at eight, and finally decided to take the hint and wake up properly half an hour ago.

        Trying to summon up the energy to crack on with the kitchen. You'd thing being scarcely able to manoeuvre around the flat due to the number of flat pack cabinets and such leaning against things would be a motivating circumstance, but it turns out I'm quite adept at sidling through narrow gaps

          Tell me about it.

          The amount of junk that's in what is supposed to be my sitting room is quite remarkable.

          However, with the HD tv on top of the crt tv and shedloads of VHS cassettes on what would laughably be termed the dining table, plus the two remaining chairs from an ancient 3 piece suite and ZeitMog's favourite chair, it's a bit crammed.

          And I haven't even mentioned the toppling piles of dvds and the bookshelves full of books I'm very unlikely ever to read again.

            I quite happily dozed through whatever was on R4 until 08:10 when the godbothering started.

            Clare Balding featured in there somewhere along with Farming Today.

            Does anyone else remember the sports programme that used to afflict R4 in the days before Today became a 6 days a week prog?

            I can still hum the theme tune to it though it automatically got switched off as soon as I heard it.

            In other news I've got a zit.

            I haven't had a zit in donkey's years.

            Maybe it's not a zit but something worse.

            Lunch was breast of lamb, stuffed, with the addition of a lamb's heart, stuffed, which resulted in a very full Zeity, stuffed.

              Gardening done. No cleaning done. Of out shopping.

                Second coat on end wall done

                Need to let that dry for a bit now, then I can start work on the cabinets adjacent to it - I've decided to do that side of the chimney breast first, as getting the base unit in place and the worktop done will give me somewhere to put all the stuff out of the cupboard at the other end when I do that

                  Whatever you do don't take a break!

                    Have to, otherwise the paint will be on my left elbow and not the wall

                    Anyway, I'm better if I'm doing specific tasks and having a break between them - the next one is taking down and dismantling cabinets, so being in the swing of painting doesn't really help. I may even go to the tip at some point

                      I dislike shopping. Fecksake. I had to listen to two guys in their early 20s have a conversation about "she said, she did" in a long queue and then have teenagers fecking around in a shop annoying the staff.
