It's like a magic holdall

Since I've been back hoome, not too much has happened even though nothing particularly interestin happens to me anyway.  Sunday saw me putting my piano into my room as well as rearranging it to make the necessary space, which consequently meant that a cupboard had to be removed and placed elsewhere in the house, followed by my bedroom door having its hinges placed on the other side of the doorframe so that it swings the other way round.  That pretty much took the whole day due to the necessary faffing about of carving into the frame and door for the hinges, drilling holes for screws and other such stuff.  Add to that the moving of things and it a tiring day.

Today didn't much let up although it was less strenuous - there was me ripping up bits of old paperwork, bills, etc. to make room for the new crap.  I really must chuck some of that stuff away - I'm sure it's of no use whatsoever...  So about half of my gear is packed up, but there's still the computer and the stereo - bothing wanting space where only one can have it.  I'll deal with that tomorrow me thinks.

So whilst I was cleaning out the old, I found that I possessed bank statements from mid-1999!  Now that's impressive even if a little pointless, so I got rid of them all except for the 2005 stuff.  I think I must have throw away a couple of trees or so, but I didn't want to recycle them for the fact that they have personal information on them.  I'd rather believe that the paperwork was being dumped in a landfill site where nobody would see the contents, than with people sifting through it for use if recycled paper - don't ask why, it just provides me with piece of mind that gets me through the day.

Hmm, I see England won The Ashes then - Well Done, England... about time too.  And apologies for the lack of debating of news-related items - I haven't touched a paper in a while and have lost track of the TV news due to unpacking.

Ah yes, was watching Hell's Kitchen the other night (and tonight too: ITV2, Mondays, 9pm) and it's pretty darn good.  The winner is posted on that website, so don't look at it if you want to follow the show, but I don't think it makes much difference - I think it's about how that winner got to the end that counts, and that will involve watching each show anyway.  Anyway, very entertaining, very funny and Ramsey is as harsh as ever.  I've not seen a proper episode of the UK version with him teaching non-celebraties, but I couldn't believe that he even swears at customers.  But I suppose he can get away with it because he knows that he's able to get the restuarant back up to standards if he wants it to.  Plus he's probably got enough money to lose without feeling the monetary consequences.  Probably one of the few things worth watching on television nowadays.

Currently sitting in the living room and there is a large moth bashing itself into the lighting - I wonder, don't they learn that they can't land on it because its too hot?  Why don't they stop or just perch themselves on something that isn't the lightblub?

Okay, that's all you'll be getting from me - I can't think of anything more/interesting to write about.

Ah, I remember bank statements back in 1999: back when you could get a fiver out of the hole in the wall and it would last you a week.
