I am suffering a little from sleep deprivation, due to the very stupid act of every night this week staying up too late and every morning getting up too early. I had hoped to have a lie in this morning, but it was not to be. Amazon tried to deliver a parcel to the house on Thursday morning (another mistake, as I normally get my parcels delivered to my Mom's house) and, of course, we were not in. I phoned the depot and spoke to a very helpful guy who said that he could deliver Saturday, but that the only time he could it was between 7am and 8am. Er... OK then. So I was up early again today.
I am suffering a little now. My neck is very sore and my eyes are drooping a little. The rest of this will be very brief, because it has to be, and then I will be going to bed.
On the way home from work yesterday, Lorraine managed to get one of the crowns on her teeth to collapse. She was in some considerable pain, but managed to get an emergency appointment at the dentist this morning. She has had a temporary crown set and is now looking at finally having some permanent work done. They want to charge her three grand for the privilege, but it will apparently last 20 years. I told her to go for it. We have the money.
I went with Top Sister to help her buy a computer. Despite my best efforts she decided not to wait to get something picked by myself off the Internet, as she did not want to wait, so we got something off the shelf at Comet. Actually, the machine she chose is not bad. It has 25 times the hard disk space of mine (I have 10GB and my machine is now 6 years old, I don't care, it suits me!), is reasonably quick and she had a cheap printer thrown in. The machine is back at her house and is up and working. Next step, getting Broadband installed. That will probably happen next week.
Top Sister, my Niece and myself ate at Frankie & Benny's in Selly Oak. Nice staff, but the food was not up to much. Then we went around to my Mom's, which was good fun. My Mom was fit and well and sarcastic, which is just how I like her.
Back home. Lorraine and I watched "Dancing On Ice" (John Barrowman is out! I curse you voting British public! Disgraceful!) and a bit of Channel 4's "100 Greatest Cartoons Of All Time" programme ("Queer Duck"? Never heard of it. It looks brilliant!) and then I went on here.
I am gone.
