On This Day…
Geez, I ache all over. I wonder too if anyone is getting tired just reading this. (Actually that has a double meaning!). Didn’t get a huge amount done in the loo as it wanted quite a lot of filling, but that’s now done and we can set about sanding it down today. Bought the tiles for the wall and floor and decided while there to replace the door lining as the current one has had a door hung in every configuration bar the one we want and that will mean the staining will look strange where the hinges and keeper have been covered in filler. That is not the easiest of tasks, as Murray had advised, but we seem to have got it done ok and the uprights seem vertical so hopefully the door won’t be too difficult to hang. I think though whatever I will get someone in to do that that knows what they are doing, maybe we could ask Simon’s Dad who made such a good job of altering the kitchen cupboards to get the oven in?
Had to do the usual Saturday grass cut as well, in a vain attempt to get more grass than weeds growing, or at least to get the grass growing rather than just thatch. I went around this time to all the corners with the small Honda Izy 17″ thing I had at Chandlers Ford. It was as strain, but made it easier to cut the rest with the big mower. Also set about strimming the nettles around the place until I ran out of line! I sell this stuff, you’d think I wouldn’t run out. Still, it’ll be another sale on Monday.
Ledley King, The Tottenham footballer, who was pulled from the England squad as he has knee problems which means he can only play one game a week, if that, seems able to be out in a night club boogying the night away, straight after the game on Saturday. not only that, he is alleged to have had enough energy to set about a 20 year old man as well, until the police arrested him. Still, Joey Barton has been getting away with it for years.
I’m thinking of standing for parliament next time. I am hoping to get in as it appears if I do, the state will pay for the work to be done to this house. You just claim your London pad as your first home and then claim you have to have one in your constituency, which would be this one and it needs work to be habitable…job done. It makes you wonder that if politicians, of all persuasions, think this is acceptable, how are they going to be able to run the country? It makes you wonder that this was how they devised the social security system? No wonder we are in such a state. The News of the World newspaper is running a competition this weekend. The prize? Live like an MP for a year and get all your bills paid. Classic
On this day in history and last year…
