listening to:
- Radio 4 as background
- in a moment, a compliation tape, "Top Gear".
doing:
- having the plumber round, to tell us that he needs to order a new part for the shower, and will be round again in a few days to install it (I didn't have a shower in the house for the first 25 years of my life, and never missed it; but it's a necessity now!)
- having the builder round, to look at re-vamping our loft / study; we're looking forward to having it done, but not the disruption while it is done
- sorting out clothes, with piles for charity shop, storage, and current wardrobe / drawers
- and when I get round to it, more on Best of Amon Hen (coming soon to a bookshop near you! - well, soon-ish, anyway).

Mind you I still can't believe that Woburn let them in with the animals in a convertible. They might have given the lions indigestion and I'm sure one of the monkeys could have injured itself on that ropey roof.
I love it and I'm not even that interested in cars.
