It's pissing down, and has been all day. It reflects my current frame of mind fairly well. I had a better night's sleep but woke up with a racing heart regarding the amount of debt and extent to which we live beyond our means. Even if I started a £50k job tomorrow, I'd still be struggling for the foreseeable future. That's probably not strictly true, but I'm going to need to start doing wake-ins again if I stand a chance of clawing back into the black.
My tenant moves out of my flat tomorrow, and the new guy moves in on the 7th. I'll be sorry to see him go, as he paid on time and kept the place tip top. I get the feeling the new guy - who fruitlessly requested new carpets and a washer drier upon paying his bond - will be on the phone more.
Picked ma and pa up from the airport last night. Their flight from Dalaman arrived the same time as another. Some of the troglodytes coming through arrivals at Cardiff would make Estonian peasants feel classy. The lads have all got blond highlights / tips / patches and fucking meaningless rectangular celtic blobs that are excuses for tattoos on their forearms, and everyone wears those three-quarter length light grey shiny sports trousers with white patent trainers. Mum and Dad eventually came through in summer clothing, only to be faced with Welsh winter weather from the doors to the car. I got back just after midnight and was glad I'd changed the bedding yesterday and put the winter duvet in the cover.
Tonight I'm off to see the compere for the launch at a comedy night in Buffalo. I could do without it but only plan to stay an hour or so.
