My first day of annual leave. How did I spend it? A day of relaxation? A day of leisure? Nope, none of these.
The first part of my annual leave was an entire day of hard labour. Hours of back-breaking work was spent on the house. I repaired the roof, built a wall and converted the loft into a guest bedroom. I lie. My work was not quite that intense, but it was close. The whole house was vacuumed, cleaned and tided.
I hate house work. I always find that however hard you rake the vacuum cleaner up and down the floor, bash it against the skirting board and curse at the dirt on the carpet, there is still an infinite supply of fluff which just won’t disappear.
All this work was in aid of the letting agency coming tomorrow, first thing in the morning may I add (another day of rest gone), to inspect the place, to ensure it is still standing. Luckily, the house has not fallen down yet, but if I have to get the vacuum cleaner out again anytime soon, that may change.

If any of my fans want to see where their favourite blogger...
- Thank You, Rubbish Dudes!
I am pleased to announce that we have both an update and a conclusion to the missing/stolen food recycling box.
A clean, brand spanking new box has been left outside our house.
Claire managed to get it into our back garden before the bin burglar could steal another from us!
So, I believe that is "thank you" to...
- Have You Tried Turning It Off And Back On Again?
In case anyone has been worried about my broken stairlift and the prospect of me being stranded upstairs forever, fear not, for it has been fixed!
We turned it off an on again.
See... the most effective approach to fixing anything technical, whether it be a computer, stairlift or television.
I'm sure the fix is not even below...
- Be Careful What You Wish For
We had a power cut this afternoon. Apparently many properties near to ours were also affected.
Thankfully the "blackout" lasted for just a few seconds. That brief period was long enough to knock out all my tech, which, once power had returned, spent ages whirring and beeping as it all came back to life.
The power cut...
- Well That Was Long Overdue…
I had my haircut yesterday, for the first time since February.
Let's just say my mop was getting very long and I was getting very annoyed with it.
You also know it's bad when your wife calls you Shaggy. I assume she didn't mean the cool dude behind classic tunes like It Wasn't Me and In the Summertime. She...
