So much has happened in the last two weeks, I don’t even know where to begin

Posted on May 19, 2009May 21, 2009 By admin 2 Comments on So much has happened in the last two weeks, I don’t even know where to begin

So, a quick bullet point recap:

  • we bought a house
  • we painted it top to bottom
  • we re-wired large chunks of it
  • we installed a shower that still doesn’t work
  • we moved
  • In a stunning display of cleverness, I managed to lock the shed keys in the shed, requiring a visit from our friendly neighbourhood locksmith
  • we re-painted the whole upstairs floor of our old house
  • I went to Scotland for a business trip
  • we are all completely exhausted and I think I gave myself a bad case of carpal in the process

Notable events during this time:

  • the mouse, that damned mouse, stowed away and is now living somewhere behind our cupboards. Our cats are useless.
  • said cats are driving us nuts by destroying the house and running rampant all night
  • the boy is on solids and is discovering the joys of carrots and sweet potato
  • I managed to go to Scotland and not eat a single deep-fried, battered food item
  • the Scottish tried to kill me many times with food, but I have to give mad props to a Spanish tapas bar that catered with much success to my multiple allergies.
  • we bought a new bed and a new mattress. This is a source of joy, and debt.
  • we should have internet access at home shortly

More on all these when I can spare the time. In the meantime, know that I am still alive and tired as sin.

    What !?!?! You’ve been to Scotland and DID NOT try their (in)famous battered, deep-fried Mars Bar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep-fried_Mars_Bar) ???

    Actually, it’s a very touristy thing to eat, but honestly, the thing just scares me.

Power to the beaver!

Quote of the day

Over the centuries, mankind has tried many ways of combating the forces of evil...prayer, fasting, good works and so on. Up until Doom, no one seemed to have thought about the double-barrel shotgun. Eat leaden death, demon...
--(Terry Pratchett, alt.fan.pratchett)
