juliet: Decorating stepladder and bare wall (decorating)
[personal profile] juliet
i.e. e.g. viz. I have spent much of yesterday & today Doing DIY. Yesterday: cutting up & oiling wood for bookshelves, and buying tiles. Today: extensive painting of woodwork, starting to put up the tiles (with [livejournal.com profile] dogrando - it seems easier as a two-person job), & further bookshelf-construction. More of the same is planned for the rest of the long weekend. BUT the Plan is that it will all be over by the time I return to work on Thursday (hurrah for being in academia & having Extra Holiday), so after that no more weekends involving painting.

Despite the DIY, other far more interesting things have also been occurring. Went for dinner on Wednesday night with [livejournal.com profile] kitty_goth & [livejournal.com profile] ergotia, which was lovely. Poptimism last night was ace - all #1s all the time, oh yes. Many many people I know (or at least know-as-friends-of-someone) there; much dancing; general feeling of bouncy happiness. I like this. It even got [livejournal.com profile] dogrando on the dancefloor, for "the two best number ones ever" (i.e. the KLF and, er, the KLF. He does have a point). And I haven't been clubbing in bloody *ages* so it was good to return to the jumping up & down in an overexcitable fashion. I have no shame :-)

Pete has nearly finished cooking dinner (quote as he stirred things: "dipping sauce which contravenes biological weapons treaties, that's what we like"), so I shall finish here. Mmmm food.

Oh, & in other news: verily [livejournal.com profile] flickgc rocks most mightily, for she has generously given me a years of paid LJ time! Thank you! xxx
