Day: June 27, 2011

Two videos from this weekend.

Posted on June 27, 2011December 6, 2013 By admin

We were in Leicester this weekend and the weather was so nice and hot on Sunday that we ended up spending most of the day outside. I discovered that a home-made mocha frappucino made with chocolate ice cream and Cointreau is very, very evil. But tasty!

We tried to ship Bean to Canada in a large box. He seemed to enjoy it.

We got Bean’s swimming pool out in the garden and Bean really got in the spirit of things. All we got was really, really wet.

I need to keep that last video safe somewhere because, one day, it will make excellent blackmail material.

Good news, bad news

Posted on June 27, 2011 By admin

Good news: the electrician fixed all of the remedial work that needed doing.
Bad news: the RCD still keeps tripping.
Good news: the electrician has some suggestions we can try to help isolate the cause of the very intermittent problem.
Bad news: the suggestions doesn’t help the fact that the RCD tripped over the weekend, when we were in Leicester, and half our freezer defrosted.

Good news: we’re going to get the windows and doors replaced.
Bad news: it’s going to cost £4000.
Good news: it’s not as much as I feared, and we’re getting nice stuff.
Bad news: Natwest are being bastards about extending our existing loan.
Good news: My credit score is still classed as good, and we’ve found alternate means of financing, so screw you Natwest.

Good news: the cats are doing well and don’t seem too bothered about the heat.
Bad news: they feel well enough that they caught and ate a bird, inside the house, while we were away.

Good news: Katy’s going to reduce her hours so that she doesn’t feel as crappy and tired all the time
Bad news: Katy’s still feeling tired and crappy all the time.
