The Shining Hour, Improved

Today is earmarked for banging and crashing (putting up the ceiling), but in deference to Dee and Ed's sensibilities I don't whack until 10am, so here is how I have filled the time:

• we had bacon and egg on the deck, watching the ducks and drinking coffee. I'm just sorry I didn't think to include mushrooms

• read a hilarious post William forwarded to me, including the 192 comments. See it - http://www.randsinrepose.com/archives/2007/11/11/the_nerd_handbook.html

• emailed, and sent my bathroom hacks to Ikeahacker

• processed two loads of washing all the way to their drawers and hangers

Before I pull out the chop saw I want to record how much I am enjoying grinding through Robert Graves' Greek Myths II. I have just finished Jason and the Argonauts and am teetering on the brink of the Odyssey. So much I didn't know, I'm ashamed of myself.
