New Weebl. One of the best yet, though very self referential. But isn’t that the way to be?

News update:

• We’ve managed to recruit someone for the nursery. Yay! Perhaps now some work will get done.
• I’m still pooped. Should have gone to bed earlier last night, but I stayed up for all the best reasons.
• Tried to get more paint and things for the decorating. I needed four items, and Homebase didn’t have any of them in stock. How useless is that?
• It’s lovely and sunny again, although rain is forecast – both of which are good things.
• I have a goose’s egg for my breakfast tomorrow.
• It’s St George’s Day, and it’s good to see so many red crosses on display. I understand that there is a movement to get St George’s Day put on a level footing with St Patrick’s Day. I’m happy to help this campaign by drinking some local beer this evening – I’ve got a few in my store at home.

News for Marcia?

Watching TV makes you obese, so the scientists say. Now, do you now begin to see why I don’t have one? Not only is the majority of programming rubbish, but actually watching it is bad for you (or at least the sitting down part of the viewing activity).
It was also reassuring to be walking around Hampstead Heath yesterday with three smokers and finding that I was the only one who didn’t get short of breath going up a hill.
I’m so self righteous, I could become irritating. But I’m too perfect for that. 😉

Talking about much else today after that last post seems a little trifle.
Anyhow, I’m pooped. Work is definitely hard at the moment, and I need to commit some time to PFE very very soon indeed. As it is, I’ve been rushing around doing nursery things today, and this evening I have to go and talk to a room full of people in Tangmere – which has the definite benefit of being local, if nothing else. At least it means I’ll have time to grab dinner before going out, and should be home not much later than 9.30 or so.
And, having not arrived home until gone midnight last night, I could use some sleep. However, knowing that my flat is a complete mess from the decorating means that I’ll probably have to spend some time at least setting a few things straight.

Whilst we’re rushing around like mad things here today, and it is a glorious and sunny day (again), the mood has been tempered somewhat by the news that a special family friend died overnight. George "Ginger" Booth was a lovely person, who spent many years working with my father at the electricity board, and who was instrumental in introducing my parents to each other, 45 years or so ago, at the Bognor Rifle Club. In fact, it could be said that you wouldn’t be reading any of these words if it wasn’t for George.
He’ll be much missed.

Brighton only managed a draw today. With Stoke scoring another win, Division 2 seems a sad certainty.

A day spent with Mo for his birthday, along with Katie and Marcia, involving Hampstead Heath, dodgems, a frightening fairground ride, pub lunch, cake and hard drive trauma. I’m now stuck at East Croydon having missed my connection with 45 minutes to wait. Which allows time for a spot of people watching, not least the couple having a very public domestic (sorry, mate, you’ve blown it!). A long distance phone call has put a smile on my lips though.
Life is good, even if I didn’t finish the decorating today.

Big match for Brighton today, at home to Sheffield Wednesday, a match that Brighton must surely win if they are to avoid relegation. Steve Coppell is quoted as saying:

In other words, Brighton had better win or else everyone will be on Division Two salaries next season.

Easter reaches b3ta.
