Obscurity

September 18, 2009 8:47 PM

It has been a busy old day today, and most of the morning was spent running errands in and around the local area which was great since I got to see places that I'd never seen before and meet people who I had no idea existed. So it was nice to get an airing and be out and about for a change rather than procrastinating at home.

With the morning jobs done I then make my way home and get some lunch, shortly after which I get changed and head on down to the Gym.

Before I get there though I stop off at the local builders yard to get some door stop wood. The Carpenter is coming tomorrow to re-hang our bathroom door so it opens outwards rather than inwards and to free up some valuable space in the room. He's given me a shopping list of things I need to get today so I thought since I needed something a little specialised (and I wasn't sure what it was) I'd use the local builders yard rather than the usual candidates.

While I am there and getting super customer service as usual, I ask if they can get the carronite bath I think we're going to get. As it happens they can, next day delivery and they'll give me a discount, so that might well be a plausible route to go down.

I then make it to the gym and after a rather good workout head home, get showered and then both Phil and I head over to Homebase to pick up the new door for the bathroom.

We were lucky since they had 2 of the doors in stock so we picked the better of the two and also picked up some film that will obscure the plain glazed glass in the door... just for a bit more privacy (Phil and I are quite happy without it, but I'm sure visitors won 't be so amused!). We also got some hinges to hang the door and since we had a set of knobs spare at home (see picture) there was no need for us to get anymore.

Back home and we watch some gogglebox and the latest of Derren Browns Events. Needless to say I did not stick to my sofa as he had perhaps intended.
