bleurgh.

Moving the coffee machine into the bedroom jogged something loose in its interior, and the water wouldn't drip through unless I sat there pressing down on the top of it with my hand. I never realised before that a pot of coffee actually took seventeen years to drip through.

Thankfully, sometime in the final year of this performance, I felt something click and it started to work normally again, which was lucky. I might have had to go on a caffeine-deprived murderous rampage and that sort of thing's not only hell on the nails, it'd probably violate my tenancy agreement to boot.

Work on the kitchen continues. Got two nice men who are Spike and Squish's New Best Friends replacing all the lights and electric sockets today, some more men are coming later to fit the units, and a new bunch are coming Tuesdayish to repaint. I need to buy paint before then if I don't want them to inflict more magnolia on me. The council offers four colour choices, but since none of them are grey they can keep it - I will, however, seize the chance to have someone do the work for me. And pick their brains about the practical details of doing the rest of the flat while I'm at it.

Am planning to hit the naked sauna this evening. YAYYY!!!

It's foul. Along with beige, mushroom, taupe and their ilk. I'm having a nice silver-grey instead.

At the moment I'm being very good and just bringing 'em coffee at regular intervals. I can't deny I've had some highly dirty thoughts, though.

Especially when I realised I'd left a butt-plug in the kitchen, and my Rampant Rabbit in full view in the bathroom... :-D

No, I didn't, what song?

Still the grouting, the floor and the painting left to do, but the units are in.

Who's that? I thought it must be James but the IP address isn't the same...
