There’s a strong and chilly east wind blowing tonight. That’s
bad news because the joiner who fitted a new bathroom window last year didn’t
do a very good job. The casement doesn’t fit quite as well as it should, and so
even my best efforts with draught-proofing sealer strip have failed to keep the
wind out completely. And the bathroom window faces east.
This seems to be par for the course these days. The plumber
who came to fix some taps a couple of months ago was little better than
useless, the painter who painted the house last summer dripped paint
everywhere, the computer technicians couldn’t fix my computer, and Nigel
appears to be having trouble with the windscreen wipers.
Is it just me, or is this the shape of normal service now?

'tis the shape, most of the time, but not always.
I've changed my blog url again... trying to find something i'm happy with. Its from Emily Dickinson:

So you know.
You're like one of those people who keep moving house until you run out of space in your address book.
I've never written my own address down. I just memorize it. Address books are for other people's addresses. And these days their stored in gigs rather than on pages ;)
they're*
I wrote it badly. It should have read 'until people run out of space in their address books.' And having a paper back up is a good safety device.
I saw a motor bike the other day, with a sticker on it that said 'Honk if Your Horny.'
I knew what you mean all along. About the bumper sticker, why are you telling me? Lol
Oh. Ok. Lol. I'm getting slower and slower these days.
Because it's something somebody bought from a shop and it contains a classic spelling error. 'Your' - 'You're' 'Their' - 'They're'
