March 21 - The First Day of Spring. Is it bollocks!
Its been so freakin' cold in London lately - the only sign of spring I can see are a few daffodils poking up in the flower bed in the back of my garden. I swear my morning G&T got a thin layer of ice on it when I was looking at said daffs.
I certainly hope things change soon. I don't think the removable lining in my coat has been used so much this past winter. Here I am trying to lose weight and this stupid lining makes me look and feel like the Michelin man. But then I guess I was always meant to be built for comfort, not for speed!
Was in Paris last week, got back Sunday night so I'm currently 'back-blogging' to keep the date and context in order.
Did a few entries today whilst Mr.Sparky fiddled with my electrics. Gawd, there's so much to know about stuff like that. Especially when they tell you, oh, this swanky new light switch you paid the earth for, won't fit into your wall. Apparently they come in two depths - 16mm and 25mm. Who the bloody hell came up with that decision? A committee probably.
At least I was able to return the unused switches AND I still keep the loyalty points from the original purchase - so its not a total loss. That will teach Homebase to a: never have the right things in stock, and b: sell light bulbs brighter than most of their sales staff.
Oh, and don't even get me started on wattage and double dimmer switches. Its enough to make you want rip out your fuse box and dig out the candles.
Good thing I buy a big bag of tea lights on my weekly trip to Ikea.
