Furniture building
Had a frenzied evening of activity as having placed the ad in the paper for the house tomorrow I realised there's no way it's fit to view... cue lots of furniture building. Why did I get so many wardrobes? Ikea furniture does make life so easy though - did loads of stuff to the point of hammering nails in then stopped and moved on to the next one as I didn't know if the neighbours have children or not. How considerate am I? The house has the coolest security lights - the help you leave the house in the dark then go off - bless Gaz for his scary efficiency in these things. Lets hope 16 Woodhill Cres proves to be easier to let than it was to buy... Please!
Didn't kill anyone at work today - which I consider a marvel as quite frankly several deserved it. The concept of forward planning seems lost on rather a lot of my colleagues - or maybe it's not so much forward planning but trusting each other to work together and doing the things you agreed to do. I don't know, but I do know that tomorrow will be even more chaotic. Role on the end of child safety week. On the plus side at least one of them informed me this evening that they have worked out the only way to show people you will not pick up the pieces and fill the gaps is by ... not picking up the pieces and filling the gaps. Magic, a glaringly obvious lesson to those who are not compelled to do stuff for others but a very difficult one for those of us who are.
Saw some excellent banners attached to railings outside a school today. The first said something along the lines of "parking on yellow zig zags is thoughtless and dangerous" the other one said "which part of school no parking don't you understand?" Go Leeds Road Safety dept! Tell it like it is! I'd go take a photo but I have finally worked out that my camera just doesn't like the cheap rechargeables I bought it - so time to go shopping for proper camera batteries I guess. Bottom
