I've hardly slept all night - or, indeed the last several night actually despite the unaccustomed frantic activity. The house is still decidedly tip-py with two whole rooms inaccessible from piles of books/dvds/albums/pictures/rugs/furniture and etc. etc. I'm leaving for
fluterbev 's at a quarter to three and I'm still sitting here, drinking coffee and more-or-less staring at the wall.
::is completely, utterly, wholly and completely shagged::
I really should get off my arse and do something. So very much to do. I should move myself, shouldn't I?
::stays glued to chair::
In housely-news, the new back door is draft-tight and water-tight and thoroughly practical and totally doing its job and looks like a coffin lid. I miss my old door with a Heathcliffe-like passion but it had to go - the guy was, quite literally, able to rip it off the wall with his bare hands - and Mr Chorley-Double-Glazing-Guy is no beefcake, but a silver-haired, ruddy-faced man in his sixties with a bit of a paunch. It was full of holes and rotten through and through - a child of four could've put a fist through it. I still miss it though.::sigh::
Anyway. The sun is out! O:! Maybe because Garett has arrived on our rain-swept shores? maybe the sun really does shine...? But no. Best not go there....
The terrible John-Stalker-like glare of the sun meansI'm a prisoner in my own home even with the blind down I can't see a thing I'm typing. I might as well press on with that long, long list of stuff that needs must be done. I wish I had the energy to express some Bev-visit/Garett-mania squee but I'm sure it'll be there when it's needed.
::is very tired. Is old and on last legs. Has a cold-sore the size of Battersea Power Station. Needs more coffee::
I'm rambling, aren't I?

Too cool for subject

Ah, I know what you mean - I once wept for our front door step... you'll get used to it, but you'll never forgive it...
I once wept for our front door step
Re: I once wept for our front door step
LOL - I was drunk? *g*
We used to have the most beautiful double-width doorstep - all tiny black and white tiles, and the step itself was a huge hunk of driftwood from the local beach... and unfortunately rotten through and through. The wood had to go in order to prevent the whole front of the building collapsing, but the step and the tiles got destroyed too, and an orange monstrosity triumphantly put in its place... it was only 40 years ago, I'll get over it any day now...
Hope you had a great weekend - photos???
Re: photos???
And I share your pain re: the step. I can fully imagine how traumatic it was.
