Illuminating stuff. http://bobble.technobubble.info/2008/08/19/saving-the-planet-pocket-money/ I wrote a lovely long and witty post then my mac ate it. Pish. You'll have to do with bullet points instead. 1. I am sanding a desk. Knobbly, swirly scrolly bits are hard. It also has 'grunge' in the corners. Did our forefathers keep earwax and snuff in the joints for ... http://bobble.technobubble.info/2008/08/18/all-points-bulletin/ On Friday we are getting our sitting room chimney swept. Of course I have visions of consumptive Victorian urchins in rags shinning up my chimney stack but in reality it will probably be a corpulent balding man in blue overalls with a hoover. The chimney is also being surveyed to see ... http://bobble.technobubble.info/2008/08/13/chimney-sweeps-and-new-art/ Well I have been glued to the Olympics in HD. You can see every wrinkle in the presenters faces and every bead of sweat, marvellous! As for 'stro-mo' in the gymnastics, it's a revelation. Going back to normal telly after watching something in HD looks weird, kind of fuzzy. Then ... http://bobble.technobubble.info/2008/08/12/1029/ Another reason that M and I are so well suited is that we've spent as least two hours today taking over email about radiators and radiator placement. He said "We'd just need to know maximum sizes of radiators and BTU/kW needed for the room. We can mock it up in SketchUp ... http://bobble.technobubble.info/2008/08/06/i-love-him/ We now have the luxury of hot water at Bobble Towers courtesy of our new condensing boiler - the gas pressure hungry condensing boiler - and a long length of fat copper pipe. Surface mounted pipe is very ugly to be sure but it was the only way. I am ... http://bobble.technobubble.info/2008/08/05/onwards/ Well the boiler doesn't work. It sits on the wall looking at me all shiny and gleaming and white. The very model of modern sleek efficiency. But yet, no hot water. Apparently when they converted the building in flats way back when they didn't run an appropriate size diameter gas pipe ... http://bobble.technobubble.info/2008/08/01/hmmmm/ Yep we're having a new boiler put in - during the hottest week of the year so far. Today is meant to be 98% humidity in Brighton too (I frickin' hate high humidity. Apparently my legs do too as they always come out in a rash when the humidity starts ... http://bobble.technobubble.info/2008/07/31/boiler-day/ Well we're finally back from holiday. Loads done, loads doing and loads to do. We had approximately half of the time away under serene blaring hot blue skies, half under some of the worst storms Northern Italy has seen for years. Maltempo indeed. So, erm mixed. We drove up and down many ... http://bobble.technobubble.info/2008/07/30/the-b-report/ Tomorrow we are off on our hols in the Dolomites. One of the highlights, for me, will be driving along this road: Ooh that looks a bit steep doesn't it? (Sadly, we won't be doing it in a Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera ala 'Top Gear'.) See you on the other side. http://bobble.technobubble.info/2008/07/09/offski/
