Dawn of the living dead

Is pretty much an accurate method of describing my current state of alertness. Had a bonkers night last night with a right old Police Camera Action style chase of a car all round north london. That meant I finished late (he crashed, didn't manage to catch the driver, annoyingly, just his passenger).

I was planning on staying up all day as at some point our new sofas were scheduled to be delivered (hurrah! farewell, old tatty sunken second hand things) but by half ten I gave up and fell in a heap on the spare bed. I couldn't even face walking the 5 metres to the main bedroom. Next thing I know its midday and they're knocking at the door. They had been here for all of 10 minutes before mog decides to attempt to sharpen her claws on them. Errrrrrrrrrrrr no you don't.

I'm not going to be so sad as to post pictures of them. Come round and see them! Alaskan people are exempt from this and can have photos on special request, if they really want.

Have seen Bec for all of hum maybe 20 minutes since Tuesday what with the joys of nightshifts. Am on some days off now so can be almost like normal people for a week or so!

Have a phone line now, always handy. It died on Tuesday, spent about 15 minutes on BT's automated "press one if you think these automated systems are immensely irritating" fault reporting system. However, at the end of it all it went "we are sorry, there has been a fault in the system, we are now transferring you to an operator". Why couldn't they just do that in the first place? Grump.

So yes back to having a phone line and t'internet. I did question the wisdom of the advice given by BT that I could track the progress of the fault online when I couldn't access the internet due to the existence of the fault in the first place. Can't whinge too much though, it was sorted within 24 hours of being reported. Was less amused at the several line tests (i.e. phone ringing repeatedly) at 1pm when trying to sleep cos I'm on nights! Grump. (Again.)

Right. I'm off to do stuff in the garden. It may involve power tools, so if you never hear from me again, you know why.
