Starting early this year...

It's only the end of April and the Athenaeum Club is already too hot. Oh, the Summer will be cruel. Cruel, I say, cruel.

At some point tomorrow on my day off taking a break from home working, I am going to systematically hit all the radiators with an adjustable spanner. I aim to hit them hard enough to leave them stunned and unable to parry until October, when they may continue with their hobby of pumping heat around the house.

Oh Carruthers, the drums...

Home work (ii)

I arranged to work from home for some peace and quiet to get the proof reading done and finished.

There is a man out back torturing large lumps of metal with an angle grinder. From the noise it is making, I consider that the metal is in some distress over this sustained torture.

So am I.

Edited to add: At lunchtime, I am nearly halfway through the proof read. It is quite amazing what you can do when there are no interruptions. It has been helped by the fact that this is actually an excellent proof copy; 106 pages in and I have found only 1 mistake, although I have suggested a several formatting changes.

At this rate, I should be finished by about 4 this afternoon!
