[growl] It's been one of those days...
I discovered yesterday that there'd been something of a cockup in our account with LoveFilm. Not going to whinge as I think it was six of one, half a dozen of the other as to whether we or the company are to blame. However, to get the most out of the mixup I now somehow have to make the time to watch as many DVDs as I can possibly squeeze into the next 34 days...
Then, after searching for nearly an hour, Kai found the Lego pneumatics pieces he wants, on a US site. I cheerfully opened an account with them, filled up the basket, got to the checkout - only to find they won't ship outside the US. Currently seeing if I can work out something with Onna, but I'm a little miffed. Lego have a monopoly and I swear they take advantage of it.
Then, after the phraggerfil/Space Rangers/ebay
dèbacle I found another seller, just up the road in Cirencester, and put in a bid last night - only to find that while I was eating dinner this evening I'd been outbid and the sale had ended.
And Kai didn't like the sweet and sour.
AAAARRGGHH!!! Yes, only small things, wholly insignificant in the larger arena, but they can really muck up your day...
[humph] Anyway... Kai struggled through his dinner, bless him, and ate most of it. Next time I'll make him something else. I managed to find several other
Space Rangers sellers on ebay, all of them in Australia, but willing to ship worldwide, and the exchange rate is very favourable at the moment, so I've ordered a copy. With insurance. Hopefully it'll be third time lucky. I've found somewhere for the slow-cooker to live. And we watched
Johnny English this afternoon and to my surprise - because generally speaking I can't stand Rowan Atkinson, except in his incarnation of the second Blackadder, where he was both deliciously sexy and an irresistible bastard - enjoyed it. Sprog is now watching
Jaws 3 - terrible, terrible film but he's seen the other two and likes a complete set. Plus he was watching the
Mythbusters shark experiments earlier, so is in the mood.
Must do something creative...
