Window cleaning

Today did not really start for me, as I never went to sleep and have been awake all day today.  Work was a struggle as I was so tired and I was glad to get back home.  I could have gone to bed but I decided to stay up and work on the flat in preparation for the next viewing.  This meant window cleaning which is a lot of fun when you live in a second floor flat.  Naturally I took my time and was careful but all bar the kitchen and bathroom windows are finished, these will be done first thing tomorrow as I am going to clean the rooms as well.

I have also been cleaning my desk that did look a bit messy and took the opportunity to go through the draws and through away a few magazines that I no longer require.  I should really take them to a waiting room but it is a bit late now.

All the while I kept my thoughts simple mindful that over the last day I had become very angry within myself.  I still am, nothing has changed but it has had time to settle into place.  I was going to do some job hunting today or should that be job researching but time flew by and it was soon time for a shower and some dinner.  I have also been transferring data around my computer system and doing a bit of housekeeping there too.

I was not going to write a post today but I have half and hour before I try and get my head down tonight.  I have just started the sixth volume in the ever increasingly poorly named “The Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy” trilogy.  Douglas Adams who passed away in 2001 did not write this one but that honour went to Eoin Colfer.  The sixth volume has been some time in coming and I have to admit I was very nervous as I started to read it.  Douglas Adam is HHGTTG period and nothing written by anyone else is going to be the same but Eoin has certainly done an amazing job in continuing the story and his attention to detail is impressive.  I love being able to escape in the story and lives of Arthur Dent, Ford Perfect and Zapoh and miss Marvin the Paranoid android.

Once finished I will have completed my annual pilgrimage to HHGTTG and it will be time to find something else.  I have a Kindle bursting with books so it is going to be difficult to choose.  Part of me wants to revisit the first book series I ever read, Biggles, part of me wants to go through a couple of photography books.  I will leave that decision for now and ponder over it when I have to.

I am going to leave it there for now and venture of too bed, book and hopefully sleep.

Until next time take care.
