Erm . . . yeah, probably. Not much happened today, or yesterday, or the day before . . . or the day before that, come to think of it. The air pressure changed, and that made my left ear hurt. I think that's the correlation, but I got no proof. It seems that way. Seeeeems. Right now, I'm getting my computer to do loads of stuff at once and it ain't too happy. I'm 'backing-up' several CDs, downloading something, running some Perl script I wrote (copies a random selection of files from a certain directory on my hard-disk onto my portable music player thingy), occasionally running Google Earth, moving several megabytes of files from one partition to the other and doing a bit of internet browsing . .. it manages, but it's all a bit slow. So yeah . . . what did we do today? Today was Sunday. Visited my elder sister's house to check out broken computer (yep, it's broken) and borrow travel cot; visited M****'s mum . . . to drop something off? A birthday present? Yes, that was it. Then we went to my parents' house for dinner. Today I did also put up a shelf in A******'s room, ruining several masonary drill bits in the process (and getting another to glow red hot - that one's probably ruined as well). The brackets seemed to go up okay, but then the shelf itself is warped, making it all look stupid. Grrrrrr.

- Comment: Do u have a hammer drill? That usually helps. Or, make sure you buy german-manufactured drill bits. Warped shelf, unlucky.

- Comment: Your A****** still has blue eyes!! How very pretty. Your new house looks big! Can't wait to see the progression of both when I next come up to Lancaster (not for a while sadly - me & Lucy moving house too soon).

- Comment: The only way to go for those sort of bricks is an SDS+ drill, I told you at the time. It will make mincemeat of holes that take you an hour now.

- Comment: Wow - that's a pretty random selection of people - I like that. So yes . . . the power drill does have a 'hammer action' mode of drilling, so I guess that's like a hammer drill. But the drill was fairly cheap, and often struggles to get through brick. I have many more holes to drill yet, so maybe I should check out this SDS+ thingy (I can't remember that conversation, I'm afraid). Erm . . . state of the house hasn't changed much recently, having been on holiday in Cornwall. Ah well.
