me and my hoover
I just spent the last half hour clearing out my hoover. I put it on and the suction was awful, barely even able to pick up the most basic dust on the floor. So I took it to the bin and went to empty the bit where all the debris collects and found it almost empty already. So I got the thing in the middle and bashed it a lot to remove the fine dust. There wasn’t much there either so I went back. No better in terms of suction. Then I took off the head bit and had just the open tube sucking and it was very good. So it was the head/long arm bit. Unscrewed the head to reveal a mass of fuzz and dust but that wasn’t in the suction hole. Then I stuck my finger into the suction bit and found a barrier of solid fuzz! It was completely blocked at the bit where the head meets the tube. So i had to thrash it about up and down until some started to move and fish it out with my little finger. EVENTUALLY I got it all out and it was immense! Once again my hoover really sucks :D
So this is how I spent the morning before the wedding; a wifely chore.
It's all coming together
and I don’t mean the wedding (though it is).
Just got a wee job upgrade… now going to be a tutor and mentor too at work ;)

I’ve not really blogged about it thus far, save few practical updates, but it is 5 days away and the time has really come to do so. Ask me when I’m getting married? For a long time it was ‘once I…
THANKYOU Helen! Nobody else appreciated the silliness! Also Dick Ward something DICK-WAD! Do people say that in the UK?

“The band [the Hold Steady] has humble beginnings, despite their monstrous sound. Tad Kubler, lead guitarist and vocals for the band, said “Me and Craig were just sitting around watching The Last Waltz when Craig said, ‘Dude, why aren’t there any bands like this anymore?”

I defy anyone to watch that dvd and not have the same thought.

You can get a lot of interaction without ever interacting with the other person. I actually think what I’m describing does count as interaction but I am sure others won’t; it doesn’t fit the…
Stress
Planning a wedding means that anything non-wedding that is mildly bothersome becomes a giant ball of stress about to hit the earth which is my brain. Time to melt it away with chicken soup making and the band.

I’m getting less and less concerned with who my friends are and how much effort I put into our relationships because, though I am loyal and I try to be a good friend - a great friend even - I am…
That was a Wonderful Remark
I had my eyes closed in the dark
I sighed a million sighs
I told a million lies..to myself
It ain’t no use in turnin’ on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
An’ it ain’t no use in turnin’ on your light, babe
I’m on the dark side of the road
Still I wish there was somethin’ you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talkin’ anyway
So don’t think twice, it’s all right

This is going to sound so odd. I don’t mean to offend any one who has had a lot of people-loss and I don’t mean to make this in anyway parallel to it.
My sunglasses broke. It was my own fault. I…
