I haven't quite got used to the fact that I don't have to go in to work tomorrow. I mean it's great and all, but I still haven't shaken the get up and catch the tube mentality. I doubt it will sink in properly until tomorrow.

Tomorrow I think I shall start writing. I need to do something with my new found leisure, but at the same time I need to cut down on my expenditure - so that will kill two birds with one stone. I'm not going to predict precisely how much I can get done since boroshan is in town until at least Thursday, so not all my time will be my own. Nonetheless...

Despite the need to cut expenditure, I also need to take my video for repair. It died a while back but I've been using my portable telly with its own built in VCR, but at the weekend wallabok delivered a much bigger Panasonic, so I need to get the video fixed so I can use the gazillion or so videos I have collected over the years. Happily there is nothing I want to record at the moment so there's no hurry, but nonetheless.

I expect that updates over the next few days will be brief and comparatively boring. Most of the stuff that I find newsworthy - and usually even that is in need of gross exaggeration to be worth posting - does not happen within these four walls. Of course, the fact that I need to start the Spring Offensive on the kitchen does mean that there is a potential vein of surreal reportage to be had from that quarter.

We shall see.

Monday

There's a lot to be said for this staying away from work malarkey. Up late on a Sunday, stay in bed late-ish. Watch a bit of telly, listen to some music, surf the intarweb - it's like being in the office without the hassle.

I have just written three pages of a character sheet and have decided to take a short break from writing, by...er writing.


Must go again, boroshan has turned up out of the blue. He was supposed to phone me, but cleverly left his mobile charger in the North East.

Later, chaps.
