I'm glad I'm not the only one who is bored senseless in work today...
I'd like a new job please. It's a year since my last one ended, and this one was only temporary. Will work for Jaffa cakes.

The last day of my "stay at home and play video games" holiday. I just came back from the local paint shop and purchased all the stuff needed to repaint my room to a nice purple colour ("Plum" according to manufacture). Saturday will be the first time I'm painting a room. Feelin' all heterosexual and stuff. According to my mum "the colour is too dark and it will make you depressed". Love you mum. If it's too dark, I'll just repaint it in few months time!

Depends on the size of the room, the lighting, and the furniture. All my bedroom furniture is white and my window is south-facing so a dark colour would be a nice contrast, but if I were in a teeny boxroom on the north side of the house with mahogany furniture, I'd stick to pastels. I'd never rule any colour out full stop though; you just have to have everything else in place to make it work. And, end of the day, it's *your* room, you go with the colours *you* want! |

It's only been two years since the last GE, and there was all that Brexit nonsense in the middle. Although I'm pretty convinced the Conservatives are going to win and the next five years are going to be awful, I just need a li'l break from constant electioneering. I don't know how the US copes with it. We cope with it by not voting and then making a mess. Sorry. |

Thanks for the advice @baemax ! It's our first flat, so we have to learn somewhere, even if it means choosing a terrible colour It's our flat to make mistakes in! |

Today we went to visit my grandparents' grave. They're buried in a woodland burial site so there aren't upright gravestones, only wooden plaques lying flat on the ground. When we walked round to where we thought their grave was we found about a 25 by 10 foot area covered about a foot deep in loose earth & bits of turf. We hunted round in case we'd got the wrong place, since with lots of newly-planted trees growing it looks different every time, then my mother went & got a staff member to double-check with a map. When the staff member got to the area she gazed at the mound of earth in horror & said that they had had contractors in installing paving slabs & they were supposed to dispose of all the earth by sprinkling it thinly over a large area. Instead they'd evidently dumped it all in a heap, on top of my grandparent's grave. Furious & disgusted that a contractor could show such little respect for a burial ground as to just dump a truckload of earth without checking first if there was a grave there.

Scraped through a v. scary dental procedure yesterday without the need for serious surgery, but shaken quite a bit for the future. Didn't muster the enthusiasm for a matinee today, but travelled 3 hours or so to the Albert Hall for Phil C., and got there to find the old sod had fallen last night on the way to the toilet and gashed his head (and found out too late to find another show). So no gig and a day pissed away. All a bit fatootsed.

In answering for yesterday, pretty good. I had a short play performed as part of an 'Election Night' special with Cardiff company 'Dirty Protest' and it was a overall a great night of new writing, and welcome distraction from politics...until we all went home anyway.
Today I'm just very tired and wishing it was home time already.

Well I had a bad start to the day...I am no longer classed in the 18-24 bracket on surveys, and then I woke up 5 minutes before before my flight was supposed to take off and had to fork out £140 to get the next flight.
So after a long morning, I am finally in London. Woohoo!

Another day. Another primary school interview. This one made me do a maths test. Please don't tell anyone but..... ...I, er.. um........may have had to send my maths A level student daughter a sneaky text asking her to convert 2/7 (that's two sevenths) into a decimal for me.    Another day. (again) Another primary school interview. (again) Had to teach the little tikes literacy today. No fractions. Hooray! Gonna walk this one. It's mine to lose......oh yassssss! At the last minute decide to change blouse with blood-red flowers on (too bright) to one of a cool, calming green. Perfect......or not.... Nose bleed. Everywhere. (Me, not the kids.) This is not going well.....  |

OH and I stayed overnight in a thriving and fascinating small town and our hotel was only 5 minutes' walk from the theatre! I don't think I've ever stayed so tantalisingly close (previous best was being able to walk back to our hotel from the Royal Exchange when my sister and I had a Xmas market trip to Manchester); however, the theatre was of course dark - which I already knew it appeared to be. So close and yet so far...

That always happens to me! Unless I'm going somewhere specifically for the theatre, I always seem to go places when the theatres are dark.

Could anyone suggest a decent music player for an android phone? I got a new phone this week (Huawei) and its internal music player completely sucks as it lists songs alphabetically and doesn't let you arrange your playlists to your liking.
I've found a few music players that are half-way decent but I miss my old phone's music player which would let me select several songs at once to move into a new play list and arrange the play list in whatever way I liked. I'd be willing to pay for a decent app. Suggestions from fellow musical lovers who undoubtedly arrange their showtunes into various playlists too, would be welcome...
