Always The Wrong Way Round

It appears that our electricity meters have been reconnected the wrong way around. Whoopee-doo!

When I say the wrong way around, I mean the business meter is connected to the domestic supply and the domestic meter is connected the business supply.

It was two years ago today at this hour when I stepped over the threshold into this shop…and ever since I’ve been trying to escape. New strategy – don’t resist, then change will happen.

I had chinese food tonight, so my fortune cookie was correct. The toilet was successfully unblocked by Dyno-Rod. Huzzah!

Here Comes the Future…via the Past!

Apparently, in the future we’ll be able to connect our computer to a giant network and read newspapers electronically.

I love this video from 1981. Apparently, according to the report, a few years later all newspapers will be delivered this way. Cripes, I’d better offload this newspaper shop ASAP! 🙂

Fail in Good Spirits

This seems apt: “Our business in this world is not to succeed, but to continue to fail, in good spirits.” – Robert Louis Stevenson

Meanwhile…Yay! Almost sold out my initial batch of EchoNET CDs, which means the release has paid for itself. Huzzah!

This is different…

Headache…

Then swollen and sore tongue. This is different…

Must be an allergy to something because the symptoms are slowly fading. What could it be?

But I never licked Jamie Oliver..it turns out it was an ulcer developing under my tongue that came up and made everything painful.

Nice…

New Genesis live boxset arrived in the post today…hmmmm… The Rainbow show in 5.1 sounds spiffing with cornflakes and tea.

I am not Stanley Kubrick

Watched a documentary about Stanley Kubrick and how he kept fastidious notes and most of his work in 1000+ cardboard boxes. I look over my shoulder and see the cardboard boxes stacked behind me, then remind myself that I AM NOT STANLEY KUBRICK!

Meanwhile, just received an email from my loss assessor with a spreadsheet containing the final claim for the building work. On a second sheet is the amount that the insurance company is going to pay towards my VAT problem! What?!?! How did this happen? The last time I heard the insurance company weren’t paying…and now all of a sudden they are. They could have been straight at the beginning and saved me a lot of stress.

Me & Vee..and the special “Birthday Hat”!

Why Can’t Birthdays Last Forever?

Why can’t the birthday party carry on today? Little V hasn’t quite grasped the concept that birthdays last for one day only… 🙁
