Feast of Fools

We got our spangly new carpet in the lounge today. As mum said, it looks like an advert for the Ideal Homes exhibition. I give it a week. ^_______^

So me and Dad knackered ourselves thoroughly dragging all the furniture out and sticking it in the garden under stupid tarpaulin that kept blowing away; then the Carpet People swept in and did a sort of subliminal carpet installation - it was too fast to see, but you were left with a vague feeling something had happened and a sudden urge to assassinate a major public figure.

And then me and Mum knackered ourselves thoroughly dragging all the furniture back in. My legs no longer work properly. *wobbles* But oh, so much fun! Scraping manky old carpet underlay that's metamorphosed into a sort of gunky rubber/jam crossbreed off the floor now rates as my #2 Most Fun Thing You Can Claim To Be Housework, second only to Descaling A Glass Kettle With Blue Fizzy.

Quote of the day, courtesy of Mr Robin Lane Fox! You have to imagine the posh-as-jodhpurs accent and the tone of total contempt. 'History is more interesting than an American's imagination about a past of which he knows nothing.'

Extra random note! Good heavens, Patroclus is pretty. O.o *has been messing around on Troy movie website* *yes, is ashamed*
