random things

Captains' log, stardate whatever the hell.......

Day 4 of the Blogger project and still no interest.

Hmmm. Interesting.

Anyway... where was I?

Here. Yes. Just thought I'd use this blog for it's intended purpose rather than the deconstruction of song lyrics. None of you are probably wondering what I get up to on a day to day basis, so here we go with today.

Today I had a fight with the boiler. It all turned nasty when it refused to pay its' rent for the small cupboard upstairs that I allow it to live in. It's not a huge amount I charge it, just some hot water when required which, and let's be honest here, is its' main function in life. Not too much to ask one would think, in exchange for my amazing hospitality and a cupboard in a lovely house like this one. But not today. Today it got nasty. After its' adament refusal to provide me with some hot water for a bath, words were spoken. I'm not proud, but after questioning its' parentage things got physical. The police were called and arrested it for affray but couldn't really do much as it had plumbed itself into the gas and water system, thus rendering the threat of being taken down to the station useless. Eventually the whole thing went to court, the boiler didn't even turn up and was convicted in its' absence. The judge slapped an ASBO (anti-social boiler order) on it and it's not allowed within 100 metres of the property any more. Which is problematic to say the least as it's still in the cupboard, not providing hot water when I want it......

Aside from this frivolity, what else happened today? Woke up at 4am with the love of my life going to work. A little early, I hear no-one say, but then it's the only time I've really had to see her over the past couple of days. And even then I don't remember much of it as it was 4am and I was half asleep. Went back to bed, snoozed a little, woke up and discovered that I have received my first comment back at me on Twitter, which was lovely! I'm K_and_silent_m just incase nobody is interested. From the great Kevin Cecil, co-writer of such series as Black Books and Hyperdrive no less, not offering me a job but thanking me for informing him that I think he is a very funny man.

Wasted a few hours on there, watched some Omid Djalili from the planner (from ages back) then went to work. God, what a boring arse life I lead!

Anyway, talk soon. Bed is calling. 5 hours sleep tonight! Wa-hooo!!!

Love as always,

Me. xxx


P.S. Anyone know why Bill Bailey isn't visiting civilisation on this tour? Rather shunning us for the North! Which is a pity, really. Bought a trouser press for him to sign and everything........

  1. No followers was just too sad when combined with the genius of the marketing mail shot. Happy first follower day! x

  3. I know! Desperate to go and see him. The nearest he's coming to here is Plymouth, which is kinda like living in Manchester and the nearest gig is Edinburgh. Will have to make do with seeing Eddie Izzard in November. Depressing. Glad you enjoyed him, though.
