Up to parts north and not achieving much

The unbearable quietness of being? Well, it's Friday and it's a day of peace until I have to be at the fun factory at eight tonight for the ever popular night shift. We were supposed to be doing something specifically nefarious, but that's been scrubbed so it'll be any old nonsense they can fill our time with instead. Joy of joys. I shall catch up on some reading and a bit of that self education malarky.

A pleasant if unproductive day on Wednesday... went up north for jollies; had company with a good mate, then off to see my cousin. That was the plan anyway; as per usual these things get shredded and flushed. Cousin turned out to be in Newcastle after all, and some of the folks I planned to see just weren't around. Hey ho. Plus the fast jets I planned to photograph weren't coming out to play. A pleasant time had anyway, a bad day in the north country beats the pants off an average day here. My folks can't understand why, with things the way they are, I still plan to move further North. York'll do for starters. It's becuase it's better up there, muppets!!!

So for today....? Domestic chores. What chores? Large Brandy. Thank you. Lots of stuff to do, plus the computer chair has gone phhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhst in a fairly big way; gas pillar seems to have given up the ghost so I must wander over to see if these things can be fixed or replaced, or if I have to spend another hundred and lots on a new one (yeah right, Ikea'll get a quick purchase for cheapo cash this time).
