It does have air con, cooling off now. I've just had a two mile walk in the glorious sunshine and now I want to be at home in my garden rather than here. |

Over the weekend one of our cats protested against us being away overnight by leaving a dead mouse behind the wardrobe. Gave our bedroom a really funky smell until we found it. Bloody animals. |

I've had a rotting mouse under the floorboards before. The smell is horrific. |

I think it's the same cat that last year somehow managed to leave a dead mouse in the sleeve of a jacket that had been folded and placed under the bed for the summer. It got quite to a quite advanced level of ookiness before I worked out where the stink was coming from. |

So I'm on Amazon earlier, and I buy a stainless steel popcorn machine, because who doesn't like popcorn? Exactly. And this one apparently can run on and on without overheating, which would be good for parties. Anyway, I'm um-ing and ah-ing over going to the local Tesco to get one so I can have popcorn sooner, but I'm lazy, so online wins out. I go to checkout, and there's a new service called Amazon Prime X, and it reckons it can deliver goods in ten minutes. There's a distribution centre near Bedford and they do sometimes test stuff out, but I'm fairly sure it's bullshit. Still, it's only £2 extra, so I give it a shot. Nine minutes and fourty seconds later I've decided it was too good to be true, but then: Knock knock! Open up the door - it's real! With the non-stop pop pop and stainless steel! X gonna give it to ya, fuck waiting for you to get it on your own. X gon' deliver to ya! |

It wasn't until Cras's "Oh" comment that I read back and saw how carefully laid it had all been. In summary, if Cras hadn't commented, I'd have thought Prime X was a real thing and I'd be telling people at work about it and then they'd be thinking me a gullible idiot. |

I'd love to go in. |

Forget your fancy workouts, just get to the checkout in IKEA and remember the thing in the showroom that you forgot to pick up. I reckon I just did 5km at a trot, dodging all the way! |
