Peddling

A nice day again weather wise, so it's time for me to get out the bike, dust it off and take it for a spin into town. It's been a while since I last went on it (shame on me!) but I have to say I noticed a considerable difference in the arse department, ie. more of my arse was on the seat rather than loping over the sides of it. So that made the ride all the more comfy!

I get a CD called "The Weekend" which I'd seen advertised on TV, and after listening to it I'd say it was pretty good, if that sort of music is your thing! I also pick up a DVD, Spaceballs to be precise. If you've never heard of it, it's basically a spoof of Star Wars, and quite a funny one at that :) So instead of Yoda, you have Yogurt. Darth Vader becomes Dark Helmet, Jabba The Hut is now Pizza The Hut and Chewbacca becomes Barf (a MOWG, half human half dog). It's quite good fun, and particularly scathing of all the marketing that perhaps could be related to the current Star Wars after sales empire :)

I also pick up some new cutlery, since all of our stuff is either rusting or falling apart (thus proving my theory that Ikea stuff really does only have a life span of about 3 years) :) The new tools are quite cool too, having a brushed steel effect as well as polished steel.

The afternoon is mostly used to spruce up my CV, which it appears I last updated when I was 25! Hehehe, so yes it did need quite a few amendments, but it's just about there now should I feel the desire to push it out to some agencies... And I get about to ringing some double glazing firms to get some quotes to do the house (well it seems like an ideal opportunity since some little hooligan catapulted a stone through the bathroom window at the weekend) and so after several calls I manage to set up a few appointments to get an array of quotes.

I also watch Spaceballs (well I had bought it for that reason) so that kept me entertained up until Phil came home. After tea we then set about sticking some stuff up on E-Bay. Namely a TV, Scanner and an ADSL modem. It's just a few things, but we thought we'd test the waters first, and if they sell, well then we'll hit the attic and see what else we can dispose of :)
