Tuesday

Woken at 4am by a greyhound with a bad tummy. Had to be escorted outside to eat grass and 'do the business'.

Yesterday I arranged for a van driven by a technician to come over to my house and pick up a load of books I'm giving to the department, they came a day early - just as I was getting changed after cycling home and was in my underwear, the phone was ringing and kettle boiling at the same time. chaos.

One of my clients has emailed to say their mac is broken ( I'm not surprised, I've been begging them to do some housekeeping for years ) and they have lost everything. I'll set some time asside later to see what I can put together for them.

I want to quickly cycle into work - then come home and do some stuff in the kitchen - replumbing the washing machine and sink unit into new positions ( knocking a home through for the soil pipe ) and perhaps a bit of sensible re-wiring, I really need another socket on the other side of the room - and I could do with moving the supply panel for the cooker. I doubt I'll be able to get it all done. I'm going to leave the kitchen roughly in the orientation it is now and T7G the external wall - will cover a multitude of sins.

I now have an anxious greyhound nudging me in the back with a wet nose. It's 6.20am
