Let The Carnival Commence...

... but not in this weather.

The crowning of the Carnival Queen, 2010 - will be accompanies by thick sea mist, rain and the first proper chill of the year - I hope she's wearing a sparkly shrug or something to keep warm, being dragged around the deserted streets on the back of a converted milk car in this weather can't be fun. Last year's Queen was exposed for posing for porn the week before her crowning ( ..that sentence came straight from Penthouse) - this years will look like the cover of that Hole album.

Yesterday was chaos -  a rather difficult work day that included the classic Friday afternoon where you get loads of work thrown at you and for Monday morning at about 4.30pm - then asked if you have anything planned for the weekend, AND  - having  to stop a printing press because a client wants to make a text change, and then waiting by the phone for them to call back... except they forgot.... )

On top of everything else - one of the adolescent seagulls fell of next doors roof into their garden - sat on their bin shed for half the day causing the parents to lay siege to all the gardens - then hopped from garden to garden - taking screaming, dive bombing death from the skies with it - it ended up with the old woman next door who had to get help to haul it onto her lean to ( I was about to offer but someone else beat me to it ) - I had to leave the office eventually because of the noise - it's quiet this morning..... we have a lot of very large feral cats around her.

I'm flirting with the idea of finishing tiling the bathroom today - it actually wont take long, but requires some thought - and moving the cast iron bath - which requires me to be in the right frame of mind. I also have loads of work to do, and a big clean up is needed......as ever.
