hathycolToday is the first day of my first four-day weekend. Megan and Mum were both out on Friday night (independently of each other) whilst Dad and I stayed in and quietly watched Johnathon Ross. Megan and Mum are both at work this evening, whilst Dad and I have spent the day cleaning the house and being generally practical.
No comment about any of the above. It's just a thing that has happens.
Dad and I don't normally think 'oh, hey, it's a day to clean!' I should point out. Well, I do sometimes, but that's besides the point. Grandad and Nan are coming down tomorrow for the first time in possibly forever; I know I haven't seen them since I graduated and I can't remember the time before that. They would have been down around Christmas time, but the snow rather defeated that purpose. As such, the house has been ceremoniously scrubbed and prepared, although nothing will be good enough for my Mum's standards. Ah well. It'll be nice seeing them, which is the part that counts.
My laptop has reached a new low in the 'on the blink' status. The already dodgy battery pin has now decided to go completely mad and can only work if you fiddle with it using a bit of bent metal and pray. This is great fun, given that it coincides with my new boxset of DS9. ARGH.
Also I have a cold. This is not so much a problem as annoying; I would like a sense of smell and taste back, please.
