Deja vu

Against my better judgment as my left ankle and right knee have been twingeing (is that a word?) a bit the last few days, I went out for a run and my iPod decided to play the same songs as it did last time. Oi, iPod, you’re called Shuffle for a reason, you know! So I skipped through them (even Soft Cell, although one snuck in there later) and went for a 3 mile run. I thought it would be further than last time as I took a slight detour and went past the road I usually go down but because I have a hopeless sense of direction, it turned out to be quicker. I need to get my mileage up and stop thinking, yay, three miles, that’s me done, now I’m going home for my dinner but running past my second favourite Chinese restaurant didn’t help.

Nothing interesting to report, unlike Joggerblogger who yesterday whilst out on his run, had an 80s experience and ran into a flasher. Today he’s taking his camera with him. I would just like to point out that the reason I sometimes take my camera out with me is not in case I run into a flasher. Honest.

B&Q bathroom installation – day 55

Alan from the installation centre rings at 4:15 and says was the toilet seat delivered? I say it’s at my neighbours’ house but they weren’t in last night so I don’t actually have it but it’s in my road. He says it’s getting closer then. He says he’ll ring the fitters and see when they can come to do the light and put the seat on. I say I’ll ring him tomorrow to let him know if I got the seat from the neighbours.

Alan rings back at 4:35 and says the fitters are sending an electrician round first thing on Monday and hopefully he should be able to fit the toilet seat as well. I say well, it’s simple enough, isn’t it? You just unscrew one and screw the other one on, how difficult can it be? Alan says yes well, I’d have thought so but if for any reason he can’t do it, let me know. He says you never know, it may be finished soon.

Yeah, right.

My neighbours weren’t in when I got home from work but, hurrah,, they were in when I got back from my run and now I have my replacement toilet seat. I haven’t checked the box though to make sure it’s a special non-banging one. Hmm.
