Today's epic incident was stepping on a fecking nail in the fecking garage in a fecking new pair of shoes, thusly ruining the right one and puncturing the ball of my foot.
This will, no doubt, lead to sepsis, weil's disease and tetanus.
Dinner/tea/lunch/breakfast/brunch today was the remains of Sunday's roast beef with carrots and onions.
It was ok in parts.
The cat will have the rest.
Odd really since previous bits have been ok.
Finally persuaded a vac to work, the Electrolux one that hasn't got a handle any more.
Once I'd thrown away all the hepa filter crap and found some ancient bags that Strangelove Mater had bought for it about 15 years ago, it proceeded to suck cement dust into itself reasonably successfully.
The Samsung one makes an astonishing amount of noise and succeeds only in creating clouds of dust.
The Toshiba is mostly fecked.
The Hoover Junior is totally fecked since the motor won't go round.
Today's bonfire managed to burn some crap but got rained on with a vengeance just after I came in.
I hadn't felt any desire to eat anything today, but for tea I had the last of the chicken balti out of the freezer with the usual accompaniments, and it was very nice indeed
And I feel ever so slightly better for it, or at least I do right now
Temperature's just under 102°F so no real change there
No telly tonight (apart from some paramedic stuff as I ate) as I'm not really in a fit state for talking and things happening and stuff, even if it's just on a screen
The only bit I've read so far was the lifer Captain who wanted the troops to wear standard uniform rather than the camoflaged kit that stopped them getting offed by Chariie's snipers.
They dissuaded him from this by a gentle hint about fragging.
Morning.
Better night's sleep, thankfully, didn't need to parade around taking cough mixture at 04:00.
The refuse disposal engineers woke me at 7 when they collected the crap that I'd put out for their attention.
Warmish. 14 deg in the living room, 7.8 in the laundry room with a min of 7.3.
Dry when it's not raining.
Not windy.
Grey, but light grey rather than dark grey.
Shall be off down to town once I've finished breakfast.
