Tuppence – this seems to be the theme of my week so far – started on Sunday whilst we were trying to figure out how much carpet we would need for our new living room:

“Right, if it’s 25 feet by 11 feet, and the carpet costs £6.99 a sq.metre, and it only comes in 10 feet widths, then… em … aargh!!”

This was followed by RuhBehKa’s post and one of those DIY shows on TV where the builders discussed:

“Well if it’s 6 inches deep and you’re covering 20 sq.metres, then you’ll need 3 tonnes of cement..”.

I’m 6’0 tall (around 1.86m I think) don’t have a clue what I weigh in kilos, and get thoroughly depressed at what I weigh in stones. 1972 was the year we went metric (year before I was born) yet I am one of the majority who work in this strange ‘imperiatric’ system. Oooh think I just invented a new word!

Started commuting into Glasgow a couple of days a week. I’m in that funny limbo land at the moment where I’m not a ‘commuter’ as I don’t do it often enough, so I am viewing each short trip as, well, a curiosity. I used to love getting the train to college, but it was a longer trip, so you could settle down, and get a feel of travel. The commute in to Glasgow isn’t long enough for that, so I’m not quite sure what frame of mind I should be in for it. I’m not making a big deal out of this, just not sure what I am making of it at the moment. Yes it’s smelly, and dirty, but not THAT smelly and dirty… I think.

And another thing. The white van we saw abandoned in the middle of the road at the weekend. What happened to it?! Shouldn’t there be a public posting of what transpired? How did it get there? Why was it abandoned? Was it, as I suspect, an alien abduction or just a broken down van with a stupid owner… Why should I let this become just another of ‘life’s little mysteries’!! WHY!! I DEMAND TO KNoww…. ahem… sorry about that.

speechtherapy – I could be wrong, but I think six is losing the plot somewhat… then again there is something slightly eerie about ducks… hmmmm
