That would be lovely. Baby steps though!

If we ever get to the stage where we can do a vinyl runs of stuff I think I can die happy. And by, ‘die happy’ I mean ‘"spin them incessantly at my future kids while yelling, “see? Your old man was cool!”’ while they roll their eyes and go back to watching music videos shot directly into their brains by lazers.

Woke up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. Went to put on my glasses and something wasn’t quite right. Looks like they just decided to give up the ghost in the middle of the night and I’m left with this:

Have had to take the day off and am heading to find out if I can get them repaired (doubtful) or if I’ll have to splash out on a new pair (more likely). Really didn’t need this on top of everything else.

How did that happen in the middle of the night? It looks like someone has taken a hammer to them.

Only fell through the bed once overnight.

If you look at the right hand side of the photo you can see where the frame gave way. I think they were under a bit of pressure due to the way they’re constructed so once one piece broke they just fell apart.

It is still very strange though as they were on my bedside locker, nothing touched them after I put them down as I went to sleep. Utterly bizarre.

Late night last night (Flight of the Conchords + train disruption on the way home) and very early morning (excited child’s birthday) = knackered.

Mexican restaurant for celebratory dinner this evening. It’s okay, I didn’t want to watch the football anyway. No, honestly…

There’s only one explanation. Malevolent spirit. You’ve got a poltergeist.

Morning gang.

Tiles are going down in the bathroom!

I’ve come in to work, feeling pretty jaded after staying up late watching the Handmaid’s tale last night (which I’ve suddenly got hooked on)

Need to look into renewing my passport and stock up on Cholula from Waitrose today

Bye!

A disrupted night last night because little Jimbo had to wear an oxygen monitor* round his foot, which needed re-fitting every time he kicked it off and moving at certain times because it gets hot. Bit knackered today.

*because he has Level 3 tonsils out of a scale that goes from 0-4, so might not be breathing enough in the night. In other news, apparently these days they don’t necessarily remove the tonsils, just laser bits off to make them smaller. Sod the jetpacks, this is really what living in the future is about.

UMight wander around aimlessly for awhile today. Kind want to go to a cemetery for some reason. Which ones in London are good aside from Highgate and Abney Park?

Supposed to have a job come through before the end of the week, but I still really need to get a proper job because this is unsustainable with the amount of money I’m getting

Just booked an AIR BnB and train tickets. Because Clive bought Eurostar tickets five months ago because he saw a super cheap special offer.

Now I’ve just paid Over £100 for train tickets to get outta Paris and £600 for a beach side apartment for a week. In a part of France where there’ll be few foreign tourists. To just… relax.

All my holidays during my adult life have been planned to coincide with a music festival in whichever country I’ve decided to go to. This will be my first break somewhere in which I get to do nothing at all.

Still six weeks to wait though… But I am so looking forward to having nothing to do for a week. (More than a week and I’ll start to get itchy.)

I’m on holiday - I want luxury!

Mind you, two months rent? I wish… In London that’s not even one month’s rent for a one bedroom flat.

Can I borrow your time machine when you’re done with it?

Morning. I’m on a tour of the northern territories this week, Leeds today then Liverpool and Manchester. Seems to be a bit cooler up here thankfully. Can’t be arsed with today frankly.
