When I rule the world

Nope not a megalomaniacal post - sorry - tho I will get around to submitting my manifesto at some point.

Just that whenever you select anything to watch on the new channel4 online service - you have to sit thru an advert for vodafone with various people lipsynching badly to the song "When I rule the world"

Gets stuck in your head a little bit.

A few weeks ago I had christmas songs stuck in there.

Last week it was the "Ive got a golden ticket" song from the original charlie and his chocolatey factory. Then my delightful mentee added the "Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka" one from the more recent film to the mix, and giggled at me while I struggled with the combination of the two playing at once through my synapses.

Im trying not to dwell on the stuff Ive been posting about recently. None of it has changed. Im still feeling the same, physically and emotionally sick. None of it will for the forseeable future. - with the exception of the friend I went back to find getting in touch - for which I am glad.

I had two, count em, TWO interviews last week. Am sitting and waiting to hear now. Am applying for more things. Weirdly, one interview was in a hotel room. With a bed and everything. Most bizzare. I thought it was weird when they did it on e.r. recently. Less weird even for that interview to be conducted by Dr Corday, then cutting to a blurry shot of the dead Dr Greene walking past the hotel entrance.

I digress.

I have laid a floor. I may have mentioned. That was the bathroom. That included work by Ducko. This is the kitchen. This is all me. Self levelling compound that didnt self level, I conclude now this is because the ready mix had evaporated too much liquid. So after chiselling all the lumpy bits off the first layer, mixed the ready mixed second batch with more liquid. Heres a tip - if you buy stuff from the clearance sale bit of a hardware store - be sure its of the correct consistancy before applying. Do not believe what it says on the tin!
Anyway, it is now smooth with a captial smoo (as someone once said - perhaps in red dwarf) and awaiting the laying of tiles.

Im hungry - today is tuesday... shopping was done on thursday... whats the betting there is nothing worth eating downstairs? Im watching Ramsay's kitchen nightmares and wondering when waiters and waitresses became servers.
