Martikas Trunkguys' Kitchen

Friday, August 12, 2005

I have the day off and I am sat here awaiting the return of our joiner so that he may finish off the kitchen.

It only took him the afternoon to rip apart our old galley kitchen and set about building the new cupboard carcasses, I just hope he turns up and finishes on time. (Strike that, before I had chance to finish this entry he turned up!)

As you can see not much in the way of culinary delights can be prepared in the kitchen at present - to be frank, there isn't even room for us to prepare the cats food let alone our own!

I am sure there will be some after shots posted but those will have to wait until we have decorated (taking old cupboards off the walls can reveal a multitude of sins - not our sins though, those of the previous owner).

What I hate about these kind of days at home, is that I am unable to leave the house, use the kitchen (obviously), bathroom or even roam into the garden. The whole ground floor of the house currently looks like it's been obliterated by some freak tornado! I guess it will all be worth it in the end though.

I have spent a little bit of time jazzing up the movie on the front page but to be honest I am not sure how long it will stay like this... -- Update: The movie didn't stay online very long, in fact it lasted a total of four hours and I decided to change it!

Even with a new kitchen, I doubt we'd ever try and put our new cabinets under the same amount of strain as Ethan does! ;)

At least this day off extends my weekend. It is also the start of four, four day weeks (we are away for a long weekend next week and then it's a bank holiday ;) ).

I went back to the physiotherapist this week and saw a different specialist. Kate was much more through than the guy I had last week and I reckon she must have thumbs like Garth as she could apply so much pressure. It was painful at the time but as the days move on the pain wears off. I am going back next week for a further pummeling but I hope that'll be the end of this run of treatment.

I would write about my mums experience at the hands of the NHS this week but I really cannot be bothered to type it all out. Suffice to say it was not pleasant and considering my mum was undergoing coronary care, the service was just abysmal. The only conclusion from a very long day of misery is more tests.

The UK finally got it's first run of Lost this week and I must admit I did enjoy the pilot(s). I have not seen all three episodes broadcast this week but am sure I will catch up on the reruns this weekend. Already there is temptation to find out what happens etc but I know that I won't do this. This I feel would ruin the whole point of the storyline. I think the principal of the show is cool and I like the plot and the evolving characters but one thing that really annoys me is the sound track. It's too loud, too over dramatic and it just goes on too long. I can see why they would want dramatic music to emphasize key moments in the plot, but come off it - violins are only ever powerful if used in moderation!
