I forgot to mention that our birdbox has finally got inhabitants. This box was mounted on the side of our shed the first summer we moved here (just over six years ago) and has remained empty. But because the shed has decayed, needs a new roof and possibly replacing totally, some little Blue Tits have decided to nest here. This means that I can’t go near the shed – this is either good or bad, depending on lazy I am feeling. The birds nip in and out and you have to be quick to see them. It is too early for chicks but I expect them soon.

Took delivery of a new shredder, my fourth in total, after the others blew up or stopped working mysteriously. This one is a no-name brand and has managed to eat its way through several years of credit card reciepts and other semi-sensitive material. My morning has been taken up with this task, which has been quite satisfying. What an exciting life I lead. Hold on to your hats, folks!
Tonight is the final night of The Apprentice and the news has been revealed on the BBC website that both Ruth and Michelle have been working at Amstrad since last September, so it really doesn’t matter who wins, does it? How disappointing is that? I am beginning to think that the cold fish won and that Badger was employed to stop her running amok through downtown Brentwood, uprooting trees and flipping cars as if they were Dinky toys in a She-Hulk type rage. Donald Trump would never behave in this shoddy fashion – to mimic the movie Highlander: “There can be only one!”. Alan, you’ve done a great job on the past two series of the Apprentice, but despite your grumpy demeanour and your uncanny resemblance to a moth-eaten Nookie Bear, I have to say, that even though you’ve increased your ratings, you’re fired!
Meanwhile, in an effort to bring smiles to the faces of my three or four regular readers, here’s a funny video courtesy of Video Google. I was a big fan of the band “The Presidents of the United States of America” back in 1996 and this parody from Weird Al Yankowic tickled me humerous. 😉
