kbkThe night before last, I slept at the flat; I did not sleep well, but that was good because it meant I was awake when the cooker was delivered just after seven a.m.
Yesterday I had the back of my right wrist stabbed repeatedly with a tiny inky needle.
Today I was at the flat again. The carpets were delivered (and one of the delivery guys said he wanted to be my friend and asked for my number and I said OK but I did not answer when he called later and now I am, um, confused and indecisive) and later a guy came and fitted the cooker, so it works, and then Dad and I made attempts at putting down underlay and fitting carpet and discovered I had forgotten about the doorways when I measured so it is not quite big enough really. And I noticed that Colours Matt in Lemon Ice, and Colours Matt One Coat in Lemon Ice, are not actually the same colour and it shows in artificial light, which is a bitch because I fixed bits on one with the other, so now I basically have to repaint the whole hall.

The really annoying thing about the paint is that I noticed it was not exactly the same but there was none of the right one on the shelf and I was impatient and I thought, it's the same colour, how different can it be? Answer, of course, different enough that it will now take longer to finish. Sigh.
