See, I went down to make lunch and I walked into the kitchen and the little voice that’s been in the back of my head switched from being a little voice to a full on shouting one. The kitchen needed cleaning and needed it right now. It’s no dirtier than it was last night, but I just had to clean it.
Which would have been a more pleasant experience if it hadn’t started with a bowl that’s cracked in the dishwasher hiding it’s cracked state until I went to pick it up at which point it sent a small piece of ceramic stabbing several millimeters into my hand. At which point I yelped, discovered I was actually bleeding a startling amount, lost the chunk of ultra-sharp ceramic and then couldn’t find the plasters [band-aid/elastoplasts] (which normally live in my first aid box).
Anyway, the kitchen is substantially towards cleaned. I didn’t empty the bin, take the recycling to Sainsburys (anyone want to answer me why South Glos council won’t recycle plastic*?), and I didn’t wash the floor. However, the cooker and surfaces are now spotless, the fronts of the cupboards by the cooker and dishwasher are substantially cleaner (and so on, I’m writing about cleaning ffs).
I’ve done something ‘unfortunate’ to my arm while I was fixing the car yesterday. It’s sore. I noticed it when Nikki had to brake hard today, and suddenly my arm declared it’s intense soreness. This really is a very dull journal entry.
I think I’ll shut up now…
Anyway, to those of you who didn’t bother to look, go look at my new photos; don’t make me beat you; for once I’m really quite proud of them. They’re pretty good for me learning how to use a new camera. It’s actually quite hard to use – because it’s hard to tell what it’s focused on, the LCD screen isn’t really sharp enough, which is a bit frustrating because it makes the ‘manual focus’ option a bit redundant.
But the camera’s dead quick – it only just did the 39 photos on the 64 Meg card, and on the one set of batteries – so I’ve ordered some new NiMH batteries (not least because I want to have my CD player back in the car!) – and it’s really nice in use; so yay, generally.
* actually I know the answer, it just happens not to make any sense.
