electriclandSaturday: historic, epochal day! I had my first bath in MY OWN BATHTUB! (John called me Friday afternoon to give me the word.) I had to finish cleaning the grime of ages off it, but the microfibre sponges really work amazingly well for that.
Sunday Jen and I went to the No Frills (madhouse, also I have to stop buying convenience foods until I actually eat some of them up) with a stop at Rona on the way. I bought ceiling light fixtures for my living room and dining room and, that evening, installed the living room one. All by myself. (The hardest part is holding it up in one hand while you fiddle with the other. Nevertheless, I am proud.) It's got a brushed nickel finished, with a central sphere and five wavy arms radiating from it with white tulip-shaped shades at the ends (have called it the Squidaped in honour of Foul Ole Ron). Vast improvement to the room, which up to now I was lighting with the three pot lights along the bookcases-to-be, the lights in the pass-through, and a floor lamp. Now I need to get on with planning said bookcases and rearranging the furniture, because having my filing cabinet behind one of the sofas just isn't going to fly in the long run.
I should mention this was in the intervals of watching The Daleks courtesy of the library. TV has sped up a fair bit since the 60s, hasn't it?
