Once again I must expand my capabilities. Change the fill valve of the toilet. Six Youtubes later my confidence feels ready but I still might screw up. Find out next week same Bob channel, same Bob blog. My wife and I have completely different concepts of fitting dirty dishes into a dishwasher. I am of the place them according to their size school. She is, shall we say, more of an anarchist. The renovation is dragging on, perhaps December will be the end of it. Bedroom almost complete, kitchen and living room almost complete. Bathroom yet to start and upstairs bedroom yet to start. At the show last night I found out the soundman was a carpenter. I just want to talk renovation ideas with people who know their shit. I like John Cleese’s new show the Dinosaur hour. He interviewed people about creativity tonight including author, Lionel Shriver, who told him she doesn’t have any type of ritual for writing. She has a job to do and does it. She said her husband is a drummer and he practises all the time or has bands rehearsing downstairs. John Cleese starts to laugh long and hard at that. She says she tunes it right out and does her work. I’m with her.
