Standing up for too long at the St George’s Day activities on Saturday wrecked my back again, at one point on Sunday I had to resort to crawling across the room as I couldn’t get up. However two days of painkillers and rest and it’s pretty much back to normal again, and after an hour at the Doctors this morning my painkillers have been restocked for the next few months.
Did some washing.
Watched some Family Guy - seen them before.
Watched Red Dwarf part 3 - utter rubbish.
Watched Primeval - which Cutter died?
Watched CSI:NY - bit dull.
Ate first Easter egg (of two).
Rebuilt 456
Crushed tip of thumb with a hammer - painful blood blister.
Power washed chairs, bench, and decking to remove cat vomit.
Rebuilt 456 again, this time with the forks the right way round.
According to the letter I got today from the repair company, subject to parts availability my X-Trail should be back on the 27th.
For the first time in five years I won’t be helping out at the Bath half marathon tomorrow. This is partly because most of our scouts are at camp this weekend, but it’s mainly because we’ve still not been paid for helping out last year, and we don’t work for free.
…another X-Trail. Slightly newer and bluer than mine, but without the leather interior. It’s a fair bit nippier due to the more powerful engine, the fact it’s done about 50,000 miles less than mine probably helps as well.
Busy at work. Busy sorting out the car after the accident last weekend. Busy with committee meetings. Looking forward to a weekend of not being busy.
Good luck to Grant who goes under the knife tomorrow.
Theoretically Enterprise will be contacting me tomorrow to arrange a hire car to use whilst my X-Trail is being repaired. What do you reckon they’ll offer me? See if you can guess, no prizes for the nearest answer.
Well for me it was productive. My Sundays don’t usually start until Countryfile has finished, but today I was in PC World just after 10:30 to get my new monitor swapped, and I’ve just finished washing the car.
I’d picked up a new 24" ViewSonic monitor yesterday, but it had half a dozen stuck pixels, all well away from the edges of the screen, so after failing to get rid of them it had to go back. The replacement only has one stuck pixel, right over on the left-hand side and I can cope with that so for the moment it’s staying. It’s not as good as my existing 22" Samsung, but is bigger and cheaper and good enough for me.
All the winter grime has been washed off the car, so you can blame me when the weather deteriorates and makes everything dirty again.
Despite convincing myself that I’d managed to balls-up the exam for the Certificate in Information Management Security Principles course that I did last week, it turns out I got 90%, well over the 80% required for a distinction.
