Aaaahhhh….
Friday 30th May
First free weekend in a very long time.
And……
…relax.
Fuel Crisis
Thursday 29th May
I had an errand to run in H’s car last night.
I unlocked it, opened the door, climbed in, put the key into the ignition (after examining it carefully because I’m unfamiliar with the location and orientation of the ignition keyhole), and started the engine.
The fuel needle was pointing at E, and there was a little orange light on with a picture of a fuel pump.
Oh bum.
Then I remembered… the errand I was running was to fill it up with fuel while she was cooking tea*. Dur.
* or was it dinner?
Phone Call
Wednesday 28th May
“Erm… oops, we mean the 29th of May, not the 9th of June.”
That’s more like it. Maybe they’re actually using a van.

My Glass is Half-Full
Tuesday 27th May
It’s a really good job that I sliced a chunk out of my left thumb on Sunday afternoon. It meant that when I badly burnt it on a hot baking tray later, the plaster protected a good portion of it and I only ended up damaging a small area.
Homophones

Homophone n.
Gay chat line
It was funny at the time
Robbed
Friday 23rd May
I was hoping to back Bulgaria.
Bangin’ choon! Yeah!
But they didn’t make it through the second semi-final whereas the tedious pap from “Have I got my widescreen settings wrong?” Portugal did get through.
There is no justice in Eurovision.
Ouch
Thursday 22nd May
Swam my first non-stop 1000m last night. Ow.
On to the mile next.
In other news, I’m usually not one for buying new things, not when the old things are ‘perfectly good’. But this video editing is painful. Because I now have a higher-quality camera, my computer is really struggling to keep up with the editor.
You may have to wait a while for the Ben Nevis video. I do have the first 90 seconds done, though.

Made it.
