Assorted domesticities

The new fan has arrived, and comes in a gazillion tiny parts. Its squatting downstairs at the back of the house while I lurk upstairs at the front, summoning up my strength for what's going be a battle of wills worthy of The Krypton Factor.

Meanwhile, in the Metal Men poll: A late surge put Portugal ahead (wow, it's like livejournal mimicking life or something), so I expect to see the Doctor save the universe next week by repeatedly diving to the ground and getting the Cyber-Controller sent off.

I watched most of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow over the weekend. So far so good. Then The Sandbaggers season 2 DVD arrived, and everything has stopped for it.

I bought a deak fan for our living room yesterday. It was £6.99 in the Co-op. I was proud of myself for assembling it, even though the instructions seemed to relate to a slightly different model. However in came in only four parts, if you discount 1 nut and 1 bolt, so it was fairly straightforward.

Hmm, our local Co-op was only displaying BOGOF diet coke 6-packs last time I went in. Our fan is up and running now, after a brief panic about a missing piece.

Congratulations!

Thankfully it seems to be a fair bit cooler here today.

Grey and muggy here. I'm still waiting for the thunderstorm I was promised yesterday. Although round about 4pm there was a huge flash of lightning (practically at me, I think the gods of weather must have caught up with reading my LJ), a grumble of thunder, and three or four rainspots on one window. A minor essay in the craft of storming, I think.
