winter blues - well grey mostly
Yes, winter is upon us. It has been smeaking up in its stealthy way. The heater in the hooch now has to be turned on to effect bed exit....brrrrr.
This morning was not so cold, but only because it was foggy instead. Then there was a power cut. Its nearly election time, so the local contractors are on curfew, so there is severe rationing on water (for ablutoins etc) and fuel. The nice "normal" toilets are all locked (water saving and no cleaners) so it is Portaloos only. Nice - ever seen a portaloo after 300 people have "been" through it? Soon it will rain and then it will resemble Glastonbury....
Good to see Mort back on form with another impossibly bizarre soap-opera-esque weekend. Kind of makes it hard to compete, but there are some funny stories about a construction contract for my area of responsibility that cost a fair bit to complete. Then they realised that it wasn't connected to the water mains or electricity. HA HA HA. Another fair size wedge to fix it, or dont bother and waste the original chunk of cash?
On the lighter side I watched 4 episodes of previously hidden (to me in my incompetence on the DVD player) Futurama episodes. Ace as ever. And then played some GT4, also good.

Yes, water restrictions are a pain, are they not? We're on them every summer since usually we don't get any rain here from October to may. This year is a tad different though as it's been cold and wet all through December. Odd.
