A day of essentially sitting on my ass all day, mainly attached to a computer.
Now, before you all go "Ptui! Thought you were gonna get on the bike...", let me explain.
Yesterday, we had visits from no fewer than five plumbers from four different organisations.
The last of them, who arrived at 10.30 at night, apparently without any understanding of why they were here, stayed a while, and then decided that the only way to solve our current plumbing problems was to get on the roof, probably with scaffolding, and use rods from there to excavate our waste pipe.
"Can't do that tonight," they said (ya don't say?). "We'll get the drain boys here tomorrow. With scaffolding."
So I had to sit and wait for them. No biking in case a) I didn't hear the door, or b) I suddenly had to explain it all again, and was all sweaty.
So...nehh. Day of doing editing - you know, that thing for which I occasionally get paid, and for which right now I need occasional days like this. Made good progress, tried to eat as little as possible, bar dinner, which was stir fry and rice and Brussel sprouts, of which it was absolutely imperative I had two portions.
Other than that...sitting.
Lots and lots of thoroughly lovely sitting. Hard life, eh?
