Festina lente
Make haste slowly: Augustus, (63BC - AD14) first Roman emperor; or as the HN would say: Softly, softly, catchee monkey. We (the royal we that is) made slow progress today rerouting the phone extension cable. It turned out to be a just job; it would just take the morning but took most of the afternoon as well. And when we'd finished at 3.30pm, neither of us having had any lunch, the HN was keen for us to go to B&Q to buy a loft ladder using his OAP 10% discount card which is valid only on Wednesdays. He said he'd help me install the ladder. Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, I fortified myself with a swig of milk, and drove us to the store.
Getting in and out of the loft is tricky. I leap up from the top rung of the stepladder, careful not to knock the ladder over because that would leave me stuck in the loft. Installing a loft ladder makes sense.
Tomorrow I shall finish the grouting in the kitchen, and plaster the channel in the study wall where the TV aerial was laid. Meanwhile, I still have some artichokes to plant.
Thought for today
Confidence brings more to conversation than does wit.
