Tea? (Part 2)

[Night Train]

GWS Archie, I hope it isn't what Arch and I have had.

No snow here though there was a very very light scatter of some white hundreds and thousands when I was out to the hospital earlier.

OK, walls have been painted, woodwork sanded, and a few more dollops of filler applied. I should be able to sand again and paint tomorrow. Then skirtings, architraves and rehang the door.

now.

Yay, well done!

I ought to go and have a nice hot shower. I know it would do me good. Steam would probably clear my head a bit. But it would mean getting out of bed, and out of my clothes and into the cold bathroom. I feel all feeble.

For once, I fancy a nice hot bath, but even a full immersion tank doesn't give me enough to be thought of as luxurious. More like 'wartime ration'.

I was going to cook reheat a proper dinner, but I'm not feeling very hungry yet.

Right, get on with it Archer. Ring your mother like you said you would, then get on with it.

I'm about to make some chestnut ice cream, does anybody want some?

 

[Archie_tect]

Me!

<grumble> Wish I had some ice cream...

<thinks>

I do, I do has some ice cream!

 

[Archie_tect]

I like Arch, I always have...

 

[Twilkes]

Me!

Okay, if you PM your details I'll fax some over to you.

 

[Arch]

It's a miracle. I feel...

Human!

The shower helped, but I still wasn't convinced I wanted dinner. Thought I better cook it anyway (very simple, reheat sauce, 5 minute pasta). Served up, took it to bed to eat, and read elsewhere that two lovely people are having a baby. Cheered me right up, and I wolfed the lot down.

I'll make a cuppa in a minute, and have a little scoop of ice cream....

Still a teensy bit headachy with sinuses, and will be more so when the steam wears off, but I can imagine feeling ok tomorrow!

I made it back.

I also made a decision today, after many months of pondering I canceled my Sky TV account, if this was a good or bad desicion I will see.

Good Phil, if you get withdrawal symptoms you can rejoin after saving lots of money and get a lower monthly charge as a new customer!

A plan without fault.

I'd rather you emailed it.... much quicker and won't mess up the drum on my fax.

I have joined lovefilm for £7.99 per month and I get unlimited streaming and 1 dvd at home at a time I am getting 2 - 3 dvd's a week at the moment so I am getting more than my moneys worth. I am also trialing Netflix as they have some stuff Lovefile dont have so both together they are only £14.

I also upgraded my Broadband to fibre optic 36mb download and got an unlimited bandwith deal on it so I can stream as much as I like at no extra cost, this is costing me about £7 more than the 5.5mb broadband I did have.

The next thing I am looking at is getting a Freesat box so I can record again like I can with Sky + but I have to get some gear so I can send sky to my bedroom as well as the living room but that is in hand . It will take me about a year to recoup all the hardware costs and after that the Freesat will be ...... well FREE
