A lesson for all – especially me!
When taking a drink, always look before you swig.
Picture the scene… I am in bed (nothing new there at the moment), settling down for a good nights kip.
Before closing my eyes and setting sail for the Land of Nod, I had to brush my teeth. I currently remain in bed to do this, making sure to swill my mouth with water, once I am satisfied that I have done a proper job with my Hampstead Heath.
Reaching for my bottle of H2O, I took a big mouthful. “WHAT THE FUDGE IS THIS?” I shouted – although cannot guarantee that I didn’t use a word a little more uncouth than “fudge”.
It transpires that I had not drank a mouthful of clean, cool and refreshing water. Instead, I had gulped down a gob of warm, sugary Cherry Coke, which had been hiding under the duvet in a plastic bottle since the afternoon!

Bloody hell! Not only had I just drank a totally unexpected beverage, but due to the fact this particular drink is basically carbonated sugar, I had to brush my teeth all over again!
The only good to come out of this whole unfortunate experience, is that it provided me with something to blog about. Very helpful, considering I have been struggling for ideas this evening.

- What Have They Done To My Flat?
My former flat, where I lived between 2007 and 2013, looks to be for sale!
I thought that I would let you all know, in case I have a stalker, who wishes to live in my former home and has a spare £180k lying around.
If any of my fans want to see where their favourite blogger...
- Thank You, Rubbish Dudes!
I am pleased to announce that we have both an update and a conclusion to the missing/stolen food recycling box.
A clean, brand spanking new box has been left outside our house.
Claire managed to get it into our back garden before the bin burglar could steal another from us!
So, I believe that is "thank you" to...
- Have You Tried Turning It Off And Back On Again?
In case anyone has been worried about my broken stairlift and the prospect of me being stranded upstairs forever, fear not, for it has been fixed!
We turned it off an on again.
See... the most effective approach to fixing anything technical, whether it be a computer, stairlift or television.
I'm sure the fix is not even below...
- Be Careful What You Wish For
We had a power cut this afternoon. Apparently many properties near to ours were also affected.
Thankfully the "blackout" lasted for just a few seconds. That brief period was long enough to knock out all my tech, which, once power had returned, spent ages whirring and beeping as it all came back to life.
The power cut...
- Well That Was Long Overdue…
I had my haircut yesterday, for the first time since February.
Let's just say my mop was getting very long and I was getting very annoyed with it.
You also know it's bad when your wife calls you Shaggy. I assume she didn't mean the cool dude behind classic tunes like It Wasn't Me and In the Summertime. She...
