Covid update: News sites in the UK complain that too many kids are off school because of Covid, but they still refuse to vaccinate most of them. You can't win. This government hasn't known what it's doing from the start and it just gets laughable when the Euro football tournament is allowed to go ahead, spreading the virus. Last year Crufts when ahead, but it was very early on in the year and no one knew how bad it
Need to find the hammer so that I can transfer the clock over to the wall where I want it to be, but I'm not sure where it is. Just a little stressed today.
Was going to order some paint from the catalogue company, but not when it's shades of grey (boring!) and £20 more than what I'd spend at a regular shop.... Nope, nope, nope! (Hate grey as a decorating colour. Don't see the appeal of it.) There is grey in the wallpaper, though, but we bought it years ago and I chose it because the other option had blue as the main background and there was a lot of blue and white -

pottery in my partner's parents' home which we both detested. I think if I'd known years later that I would dislike grey as a decorating colour, I would have gone with the blue. However, the room isn't all grey so it's not that bad.
Wanted the main part of it done, so I could move furniture back into it's original position but it won't be there because the job ain't done. So if there's any moaning tonight that we can't watch a dvd, it ain't /my/ fault!
If there is one thing that annoys me greatly is when I am trying to do something around the home, (which, by the way, would make it better for both of us), I get blanked and completely ignored. It's rude. It's ignorant. It's not the fact that I hurt myself today that is annoying me, but the complete disregard.
So, after having an arthritis flare up last week, I managed to get some decorating done today. Done most of the painting, though I'll probably need to do the wallpapering in a couple of stages.

Finished the Dresden Files. I'm not sure what I think about Peace Talks and Battle Ground. They could have been condensed into one book, tbh.
Today I have been doing some artwork and testing some materials I got in a cheap art set last November. It's adequate, I would say, but they aren't perfect, and there are much better materials out there. Still, I find it useful to test different out different mediums to see if I like using them and how they can go together. As I mentioned yesterday, I hate this time of year, not because of the summer temperature -

and people being noisy idiots but because it's been bad in previous years - you almost /expect/ something to happen. Messing around with art is a good distraction.
Max needs a bed, but the catalogue company assumes people have lap dogs and doesn't have anything that looks like it would fit him.
I hate the months of July, August and the first two weeks of September and just want them gone.

Seems my partner wants to move. Thing is, I don't want to. I don't like the flat where we live, but flats with gardens are almost non-existent. I don't want to end up in a place where you don't have any outdoor space of your own, and you're likely to have junkies on every floor. He thinks we'll get a bungalow. We won't because there aren't that many of them for council tenants. We won't get a house because not enough

people to warrant it, so the only option is a flat /worse/ than the one we're in. Also don't want to move because it's close to fields and woods where I can take Max for walks and they are in walking distance. If we move, we'll most likely lose access to them. We don't have a car. Finally, it will most likely be me doing all the packing, unpacking, shifting furniture, putting it back together, decorating everything

because he'll find some excuse not to do it. We don't have money to pay someone else to do all that stuff (not that I'd want them to, because they'll probably do it in a way I don't like.) We don't have money to buy a bungalow and I'm not privately renting - even if we had the money to do the latter, you can't have the home the way you want it and landlords can be abusive and lazy... So... what option is there?

Another thing about private renting is that you can't stay if the landlord suddenly decides to kick you out for no good reason. The problem with council accommodation is that you don't really have a choice on what you can accept - you go where they tell you so if you're somewhere that has most of (if not all) of the things you're looking for in a home it doesn't make sense to move when you're likely to end up

somewhere that's less suitable for you. I don't have the energy to cope with the stress and exhaustion of moving.
'Tis football night. That means the idiots are out in force.

Nothing like sports to flagrantly bring out the boisterous inner chimpanzee of morons with no actual hobbies. I'd be very content to never have to encounter a single one of those simian losers again for the rest of my life.

Tomorrow (hopefully...) I shall be doing the long awaited decorating of the living room. I started it last year, but had to put it off for various reasons. Today, I have the paint I need to finish it. There is the wallpapering that needs doing, too, but the painting needs to be done first so the wallpaper isn't dripped on. The kitchen though will have to wait a tad longer, unfortunately.

I got most of it done last year, but we had a problem with a couple of radiators during the winter and they need to be fixed before I can finish it, which is annoying. Still, if all goes well with the rest of the living room, I hope to get some shelving units put up in a cupboard so I can store my books properly in there - there are some books in there at the moment, but they are hap-hazard due to lack of shelves.
Found some good Halloween cross stitch patterns that I like so will hopefully treating myself to some, soon.
Local council - supposed to cut the grass, but don't bother all summer. You get a 'gardener' to come in and do it, and they hack down everything, including flowers. This is why I want a shed and equipment to do it myself. I know what I want gone and what I don't, and what I plan on cutting back when the flowering and fruiting seasons are over... Poor bees have no nectar now.

I'm not putting any pressure on myself to put all my characters through the midsummer quests. I'm just doing them as I feel like it. My mood has taken a downturn this week.
The repeatable quest line that I like most at the moment has to be the Further Adventures of Bilbo Baggins. Wish they would do another quest line involving Bingo like that. The Bingo quest lines capture the spirit of the Hobbit in many ways.

The midsummer festival in lotro isn't my favourite one. For ages now, I have only been doing these festival events for figments of splendour (and to level my main character up when I need it to progress on to later levels) but the festival area is too big for my patience, takes ages traveling to places and you don't get a lot of figments for your troubles - much less than in other festivals. My favourite are the

halloween/harvest/fall festival in October and the the Yule one in December and January.

The wedding event is nice, but it doesn't count towards your daily that you need to complete a number of times to get the figments, which negates the purpose of doing it, really.
Just read a tweet where someone said that they don't recall any character in sci-fi and fantasy wearing glasses for their eye sight apart from Harry Potter... Well... There's Daniel Jackson in Stargate, Viki Nelson in Blood Ties/The Blood Series (she's going blind due to a degenerative eye condition.) There's Geordi La Forge in Star Trek who is blind. If I recall correctly, both Giles and Wesley from Buffy/Angel

was going to be - this year, it's not even going ahead. Suspect that it the Olympics in Japan will spread the virus just as widely. Crazy, really, when there are many countries that still haven't started vaccinating/have the virus out of control/don't have access to the vaccine, or have access to resources to treat people. We've known of some people who have had it and been in hospital for months with it.
