Huh, who knew!
I am so tired today.

I tried to go to bed early, but N just couldn’t resist shorting the electrics again, so all the plug sockets went out, and then he called upstairs to see what I had done. Err nothing, just lying here trying to will myself into unconsciousness so as to stop feeling like crap all day, and prevent myself falling asleep at my desk (hasn’t happened yet, but it’s only a matter of time!)

So I get up, call the emergency line, as from past experience I now I’ll be on hold for a good 20 minutes, and inspect the damage.

Try the fuse-box, re-setting the switches & turning the electricity back on. Not working this time, so I go to have a closer look at what N has been doing in the short time I have been absent from my supervising duties (he’s 29, but you know how those boys can get!) and find he has been “cleaning” the hob, cleaning is in quote marks due to that fact he has not so much been cleaning as “drowning” the poor hob, and the reason the electrics have shorted is due to the fact that water has gotten down underneath the ignition switch, and water & electricity do not a match made in heaven make! So I lifted it up & let it dry out for a while & lo & behold the electricity came back on!

Men can be total fuck-wits!

So crabby, old lady rant over, seriously, you’d expect me to have cats (not that having cats is a bad thing, but there is a certain stereotype (No 13) of crabby old ladies owning cats & being typically grumpy and grouchy)

So, on to nicer things, I’m contemplating actually taking some time this weekend, in between sleeping, to actually upload some pictures to my Flickr page & I might even do a bit more designery stuff on my page & try & get some better buttons for ‘older’, ‘newer’ etc, but no promises.

You know, regular readers (Ha, hahahahahah, sorry, while I cry with mirth at the thought of such a thing!) might get the impression that I am a tired, crabby, weather obsessed, old lady.

Which I am not, on a good day I can be downright fun-loving & apparently I have quite a good (if not slightly strange) sense of humour, according to people. So maybe I just use this whole page as a place to vent my old lady persona issues.

Huh, well that makes sense.
