Absolutely knackered... What a day. Spent the day on an island, painting a holiday house so we can live there for a few days. In the heat and with my wonky shoulder it was tiring. Went for a swim afterwords, so not so bad. Couple of beers and then home. Its 8pm and I am exhausted. I guess its a hell of a journey and...

It was that cold that the electric sunroof froze half way shut, and bottles of water inside the car were frozen.

It is really difficult staying with my folks, as Ive always been independant. Seem to be constantly arguing with my father, who seems to just hover over me...

Well, I gotta say, Ive never had a year like it. And although its been more ups than downs, the downs have been total car wrecks. I'll toast this year as its passing, but lets just hope next year is a little quieter... I doubt it though. So I finally have broadband for a while anyway. At my parents just now, which is just swell....
