Not a bad day, all in all.My sister Dawn came round with Shannon, my niece, and after chatting and watching a video they wanted to see, I showed them the joys of The Getaway on PS2.
I guess it was a bit irresponsible of me to let an 8 year old see a game with such colourful language, but she seemed entirely unfazed by it and happily trundled round the streets of London at a nice sedate and safe pace, obeying all of the traffic lights and staying on the correct side of the road.
I couldn't help but laugh as when I had a quick blast, screaming down the middle of Oxford Street, smashing into assorted cars, Shannon looked at me, giggled and said "You're a bad man."
So later I went into town and finally got my bank to sort out this cheque they've been sitting on. It seems because I deposited two cheques of identical value in a short space of time, some bright spark or other noticed this and came to the conclusion that the second was a duplicate, and as such shouldn't be credited to my account.
Dumbass.
These people aren't paid to think, so why do they insist on trying?
Anyway, the money should finally be available by tomorrow morning, which is always a good thing.
Oh yeah, I did some more rearranging of this living room, and solved two problems in one move.
There was a (very heavy) wardrobe which just had to go, coz it didn't look right in a living room... and a huge space in need of some kind of wall unit and/or something to sit the tv on.
Solution? Tip the wardrobe on its side and take the doors off.
It sounds crazy, but with assorted ornamental whatnots, my collection of LPs and a couple of vintage games console inside it, the tv and a very funky spiderplant on top... you'd never know what it was you were looking at.
Job done.
