Whoops
Well, another sunday gone. And the weather forecast all to pot! Was supposed to be raining like mad today, and I suppose it was quite drizzly earlier on, but this afternoon has been beautifully sunny. Never mind, meterologists! Better luck next time....
Woke up early and then fell back to sleep. Then finally got up and didnt do very much! Have rung more numbers of people landlady has given me, several messages left but not much response as yet. Actually made contact with some as well, only to find out that they're students (so much for screening by landlady who doesnt want students), and to find that some cant actually come to view except when I'm away on holiday. Ah well, no great loss I suppose. Would be rather embarrassing to explain about the back door and the collapsing wall anyway....for which I suppose the first chase up needs to be done!
Spent some time this afternoon in an internet chatroom, and it seems I've managed to piss someone off quite successfully! Well, online discussion does tend towards the instantly-risen-heckles, but I'm usually not one to party in it. Though with measured tones today I've been playing devil's advocate. This is quite fun to do in any case, but online it looks like a dangerous game. At any rate, I've sent a little apology to the other person involved, not that it really needs it, but I feel the need to smooth feathers....
But one good thing has come out of it; I've managed to think up two whole new obscure puns based around claiming to be devil's advocate. First, you can say 'I'm playing the devil's stoned green fruit' or you can say 'I'm playing the devil's dutch liqueur'.....which if I say Advocatus Diaboli I'm sure you can work out the rest......hooray dead languages!
Dinner tonight is going to be interesting, mostly because I have no desire whatsoever to do any cooking. Most unusual. Usually, and certainly in the summer, cooking is a mainstay of entertainment. Maybe I've got other things on my mind at the moment....
Too many tailings-off. I need to learn how to form complete sentences.

Hello! It's been nice weather here today too.
I tend to sit and watch when I'm in a chatroom - I know, the whole point of a chatroom is to chat but I like to see all the little arguments going on, rather than join in! Good on you for being big enough to send the apology...a lot of people wouldn't have bothered...
