Underneath your book? 

In the bathroom? 

Where you took off/put on your jumper?

Down the back of the sofa?

Downloading Mountain Lion--so if I disappear for some time, you will all know why

Edit:  it's now saying 6 hours to download, so I don't suppose I will be installing it tonight!

Looking at the weather forecast and thinking that tomorrow will be a very good day to make marmalade and play the piano.

Hoping I'm not going to end up with the nickname "Brian Nae Squirrels"   :facepalm:
Helped college lecturer with a red squirrel survey. The transect route I walked is supposed to be red squirrel central.
Except I didn't see any at all!   :(

Although a student from previous year also ended up with "Nae Squirrels" nickname, and is now warden for a local nature reserve......

Well there's your problem right there - Sod's Law in action.
If its any consolation, I've suffered something broadly similar - there was an article in the local paper, complete with photos, stating that several hundred waxwings had descended on York; have I actually seen one? Not bloody likely - plenty of evidence of their passage (ie. rowan trees which formerly had loads of berries on them but are now stripped bare) but no actual birds.

I'd call that a good sign ;)
It's also the first place I'd go looking for red squirrels - maybe he abducted them all in order to avenge the people who called him "Nae Squirrels" :)

Friday's here ... can you tell?

I am currently pissing off my children. As I've had years of practise I'm now getting pretty darn good at it.
Sigh.

No.  Not Red Sqiggle Central at all.  They knew there were no sqiggles there.  Just like last year.  They were testing how honest you were.
You did well.

HaHa! *points*
Brian no sqiggles

 :D
Admission.  I'm actually not that fussed about cake.

Right now? I'm looking for red squirrels. Did I come to the wrong place?
You are in a maze of twisty flat droves, all alike.

Hey Torlsanda, Tiernat - look, a squirrel!

I am currently drinking coffee, faffing on the internet and wondering what I've forgotten to pack for a quick overnight to That LonDon, prior to setting off walking to the station and the joys of the Megabus.

Have mollusc and bank card.  Anything missing but crucial can be sorted between those two, I think.  I hear they have shops and everything down there!

Facing up to the grim reality that tomorrow I'll be buying another weekly travelcard as the sprained wrist  sustained on this ride has conspired successfully to keep me off the bike.

Going out on the fixer this morning wasn't the smartest of moves.

Meh!

Im am sorting out the bath combined filler / overflow / waste pop-upper which has obviously leaking for years, as the ceiling below it just bulged downward and started dripping.

On account of it being a filler and the overflow and the popper-upper, it's quite a complicated item, with lots of functions that need to be kept seperate.   Which they were not.   Water from the filler was passing into the overflow, and the overflow is not sealed properly against the outside of the bath, on account of a seal being missing.
 
The incompetent monkeys who installed it have assembled it all wrong; it clearly has no hope of sealing the way they did it.   Furthermore, their cack-handedness had rolled an important o-ring out of it's seat, and buggered to o-ring too.   Just as well they'e not building rockets.

Needless to say, access is damn near impossible and I'm nae a happy monkey.
Am hoping to avoid lifting the bath out of it's enclosure.
