Raising My Temperature...Grrrrrrrrrrrr !

Ive moaned on this blog before how about how our weather forecasters are physcoticaly obsessed with temperature. In Summer they tend to add a few degrees onto their predictions verbally by saying that we " might " reach these temperatures ". They like to please you you see...
  This morning I exploded in a rant of expletives as Carol Kirkwood  said temperatures today would be mild, but then added ( and I could sense by the stupid look on her face what she was thinking ) " but not mild as in the high teens kind of way  we would see in Spring "  Yep, she just couldn't stop herself associating the comparatively mild weather for January with the much warmer mild temperatures of Spring. You stupid woman its bloody January. Stop playing the temperature game, its Winter and its cold, whether you like it or not. I may sound paranoid, but the fact she couldn't resist making this silly comparison vindicates my suspicions. Pathetic !!

In The Rich Mans World...

I have invested in an expensive " soft closing " toilet seat. It cost me 40 pounds ( there maybe pictures ) Its a lot for a toilet seat, but when I sit on it without flexing , and then watch the lid sink slowly closed so quietly, I then see that its all been worth while ( no, Im not joking ) Exactly what this strange purchase symbolises I have no idea.
    Im in the mood for buying quality things as replacements for out going items such as Jeans, Spanners, Coats ect. My biggest cost this Spring will be paying for my 8 x 12 ft shed. This will arrive in March. I shall place my new tools in it. There comes a time for renewal every so often. Good clothes become work clothes for example. In fact Marks & Spencers have some ranges of clothes that actually fit me so well that people have complimented me on how good they are. Now thats a real shock ! Time for some multiple purchases while these clothes are in stock, because one day they will be gone forever. I know this because if they fit me then they will be unpopular, and wont sell. Its always the way.
