Gremlins

Seems we've had a bit of a Gremlin day here at home.

The first thing to break is the Sky+ box, it won't switch on or anything. It's well broken and its just sitting there making odd clicks and grinding noises rather like a dying terminator or something. Phil tries to fix it, but after exhausting every option possible he finally gives in and calls Sky Customer Service, and after 39 minutes of waiting on hold finally gets through to someone who can't fix it either. Figures. So now we've booked a bloke to come out and fix it or replace the box completely - should be on Tuesday if we're lucky.

Then the DVD player decides to fanny around and screw up (well it could be the player or it could be the disc, who knows!) so all in all it appears the gremlins have well and truly been at work. I think they also managed to get into my system too since I've had an all around dropsy sort of day... Butter Fingers would be a more than appropriate name to call me today as it's highly accurate in describing my inability to pick anything up for more than 30 nanoseconds without dropping it and making a mess everywhere.

But despite my clumsiness I do make it to the gym, and out of curiosity jump on their proper medical scales to see what they have to say. According the them I'm actually 8lbs lighter than I am at home. So from now on then I guess I'll be hopping on the scales there rather than at home :) I know weighing is bad, particularly with my muscle building regime, but what the hell, anything to subdue my insatiable appetite for knowing just how far into that band of morbid obesity I 'm in :)

Again though it's been a pretty quite day all around, Phil's been busy watching the Grand Prix and making more models (this time the cardboard ones) which I have to say look pretty impressive by my book :) And as for me, well I've been doing not a lot of anything in particular, just odds and sods.
