Thud

Last week was fairly dull with the exception of Thursday where I went to a Japanese restaurant in the evening with some colleagues from work. It was in Liverpool and was pretty good, definitely something new. The Japanese do like their seafood though so much of the menu wasn't for me, but I did really enjoy what I had. The journey back was a pain though due to a power failure on the Merseyrail line and so it was a bit convoluted.

Not done much this weekend, been a bit lazy really. Had another go at the garden today and shoveled two wheelbarrow loads of mud out of an old spring so once again tired and scratched.

Still no water. Situation becoming rather desperate. The problem is a combination of the spring running low and the pipe that collects the water not being in the right place to collect the little that is still flowing. It needs much work. Our neighbour is going to help sort it but not till the middle of next week. We may yet have to investigate the possibility of being connected to mains water, although I'm not sure it's a viable idea.

Just finished Thud in the Discworld reread. It's definitely one of the best Pratchett books I think, just the right combination of humour and a good serious plot that keeps going all the way through.
