Have a Home sweet fucking Home thread already! GOSH!

I love you all really. How are you all today??

I is all happy, surrounded by books, music, and getting around to some technical maintenance at last. Still raining there, VC? Love the rain, too. Was scarce for me at a time, when desert-stranded. Hope you are smiling.

Glad to hear you're doing well. I am also doing well.
Got *all* my homework done so I am very brain dead though.
And yes it is still raining.
( , Sun 15 Mar 2009, 7:16, Reply)

that phrase chills my heart. glad you are still feeling the rain. where I lived, at a time, was the desert, and a high ratio of borax in some of the sandy places. when the rain was about to come a certain smell (sort of saline) would pervade. was a prelude to happiness.
I am also fairly brain dead after a long week. but it's all good when I can sit around and flip between a few books and get my own stuff done. yay! weekend!

because I live about 800 meters from the beach as the crow flies.
But christ it's lovely when it rains. I love going out and just standing in it until I look like a drowned rat. Makes me feel alive.
( , Sun 15 Mar 2009, 7:26, Reply)

glad to hear the beach is near. I have a beach, not exactly ocean, but huge bay that is the path to the sea. I am always there of a weekend, tramping about, and singing. it is the joy.
where I lived was a house on a dirt road. yeah, city me. quite weird. anyway, was all mud/sand combo. all either/or, as per usual. lived in a (smallish) canyon, and when it rained -we had a season of it, out there, about 3 or 4 weeks each year - my friends and I would stand on edge of of a steep slope and slide down. sort of mud-skiing. we dubbed this sport 'scumping.' a good time was had by all.
would like to go back there someday, but certain to find concrete and industrial parks have replaced all of my lovely orange groves - and my arroyo, the bellwether of rainy weather. but those memories is sweet!
raindancing is the best. glad you are continuing the tradition. if I tried that here, would probably get locked up!
( , Sun 15 Mar 2009, 7:40, Reply)

I don't dance in the rain when other people are watching, just by myself.
I used to live in the city - now I live in the country. we live on a one car wide road off the highway, and the beach is a kind of bay too - shallowish, perfect for abalone diving.
I expect once I get back here after leaving home that it'll look different. The towns all around me are slowly expanding. I'm waiting for the day when we're all joined up into one big town. :(
( , Sun 15 Mar 2009, 7:45, Reply)

be dancing with others in sight. Where I was living was truly middle of nowhere. I could walk about through orange groves at night with no worries of seeing a soul. Interesting, to get both perspectives, I think. Urban vs rural.
And yes, the suburbanization. Scary. I will just stick to cities myself.

Doing the chippy, eh?
Installing a staircase is no joke! Was it a total new installation or a replacement, ie, did you have to hang new staircase from scratch? Hope you had a good circular saw to trim them joists.
I can imagine the muscles are screaming. Hope it was fun, at least. I love carpentry, and that sort of work. My first job (14) was construction/carpentry/painting/roofing/cementing. Stepdad was a contractor.
Haha. Imagine a young cackers, wielding a blowtorch. (that paint was so thick, a heat gun would not do). Still was good times. We had to excavate the house, and I enjoyed throwing about 50 fluorescent tubes into a huge transport container, and watching them explode. Yes, safety goggles were in place..
( , Sun 15 Mar 2009, 8:26, Reply)

it is a brand-new bespoke staircase for the loft-conversion i am doing as part of total refurb of my house. kite-winders and half-landing, then straight flight and another set of winders at the top. the idea was to minimise the loss of floorspace in the loft and it all came together beautifully! effing well perfect, i tells ya!!!
but seriously though, it did all go very well. in fact, we got more done than we thought we would, getting the floor joists in the loft trimmed and noggins in and everything.
and now i have a lovely spandrel!

In the warehouse primate world I am a Silverback, regrettably faced with the imminent prospect of kicking up to 300 chimps out of the trees and into the ape job centre.
And it's a jungle out there.

get described as incompetent monkeys.

And I have trolleypushers.
I have the lame, the lazy, the lacklustre and the lunatic.
But of 300 (actually 287) I have about 150 who will work hard, use their initiative, do whatever is asked of them - and often do what ISN'T asked of them but needs doing - that keep the place running.
I've bemoaned the unpleasantness ahead of me before, but today, when we've been unusually busy but got the job done with very little direction required from me I feel very sorry for those whom I must let go.
Vent over.

did I miss fuzzy? *sads*
I am dying my hair. It's exciting stuff at Badger Towers.
Although earlier on the news they had a piece on alcoholism in young women then they showed a supermarket shelf with Badger Applewood Cider on it.
Made me go and get some cider. Not sure if that was the intended response....

I was all productive today and mowed the lawns *prouds*
How's you?

I had a huge lunch, played rounders, came back up home, and am now lazing and drinking the cider. No hair dyeing for me though.

*HUGGLES HUGGLES*
I's back! For a lil while anyway until my foods are ready. I am a bit fuzzier than usual having started on the Jack Daniels and now some beer too *wishes for cider as well* but I am happy to be here. Life is stressful and horrid mostly in general but tonight I am indulging in full blown escapism and so I is full of teh happies.
*squeezes everyone*

Sounds like you're having a fun night m'dear.
Is it bad that I'm sitting in bed watching tv at 9pm?

went from red to black.
Was fun.
Anywho - toodle pip! I'm off to school bright and early on monday morning.
fucksocks it's raining. EDIT - not to say I don't like rain - I do - but I don't like it when I have to go walk 2 km in it and it's pouring.

No, being in bed watching tv is a grand way to spend a sunday evening. I would be if I weren't downstairs in front of the fire in my giant bean bag instead.
I generally find the price of alcohol prohibitive already (as is the cost of fripperies like food, electricity and rent), but since the fella has moved in with me for a few weeks we are throwing caution to the wind and partying. We will regret it later, but then hey... we could get hit by a bus tomorrow.

I have neither a downstairs or a bean-bag. We don't even have a living room, my room's just pretty big, and contains the makings of both living and bed-room.

I live in my bedroom. It's nice and big and has lots of windows that the sun shines though, and has the internets which is all I need.
But when I have company it makes it worth lighting the fire downstairs (coz that's where the telly is).
EDIT: Ooh ooh I have to go. I may be back in an hour!

Going to a funeral in Barrow on Wednesday.
Will keep my hand firmly on the horn between Ingleton and Kirby to disrupt your smugness.
Ha!

The walk was so far the best one I've been on with my group. Got to see the North Downs and meet some new people. My feet are sore, but in a pleasurable way.

I had a sugar craving and the only sweet thing in the house - barring a yoghurt and I'm not really feeling that - was a peach and apricot cereal bar.
*sigh* I need to get some unhealthy snacks.

Anyway, I'm off to have a bath. Hopefully, this will revitalise my tired self.
EDIT: This always happens when I announce thread-b0rkage!
Peach and Apricot anything sounds tempting right now.

EDIT: Looks like I can't :-(
Anyway, I had a nice bath. My feet feel all energised. In the bathtub, I lay on my back with my hips bent so my legs were bent back, and my knees bent, so the lower part of my body looked like a 'Z' with the soles of my feet facing forwards. I then pretended my feet were laser-cannons blasting straight ahead. I should have added a rubber duck or two to my bath for added effect.

Nothing shall disrupt my smugness this week. This is the first week off I've had since I started this wrteched job last year.
Actually if I do hear you hooting it would make me smile :) B3ta is insidious... and hurrah for that.
Hope the funeral is um... a good one :/
