Haven't had any Rioja for two weeks now, it is not my go to drink of consolation, more of celebration. Consequently the wine cellar here is already looking comparatively well stocked, is that even some dust I saw on a bottle the other day?
How long will studio take to finish? How long is a piece of string? As my old electric engineering lecturer used to say.
I can say it sort of depends on other events, of course, especially my plan to return to France within a month of now so there, I guess I have set myself a deadline.
Had to renew my Corsa insurance the other day, it had gone up from £96 to £122. Blimey I thought so I did the "Go compare" thing and many companies were offering the same cover insurance below £100 but when I tried to accept, the price was £126 and up....something to do with insurance premium tax I think. Anyhow, went back to my existing company, M&S, to register my dismay at the price hike and, although the couldn't reduce the premium, they offered me two £25 M&S gift vouchers. Well, £50 being more than I had made on the market that day was a welcome offer, so I thought it churlish not to accept. It seems proportionately a large offer but I guess they make it to all their complainees who perhaps have a premium in the hundreds of pounds. So in summary, what with cutting my own secondhand glass, skip diving, reusing materials and now £50 voucher, who needs thousands of pounds profit on the market this week? Well, me actually.
