Good morning, TV land.

Today, will be a day of tidying the kitchen, updating websites, invoicing. With these tasks in mind, what better to start than NIN's "Head Like a Hole". The SX1000 was employed to noodle along to the bassline.

I'm updating my Amazon wishlist - this is NOT a "please buy me stuff" post; I get vaguely uncomfortable when people do, in fact, it's there for the benefit of family and people that can override that (I know quite a few people just like to get presents from pretty much anyone!). I feel there should be a lot more music on there. Feel free to have a laugh at my geeky book choices. (Edit: Fixed now).

And now iTunes is onto Jane's Addiction. Which makes me think of Winter 1994, racing around in my X1/9 with the roof off on the backroads near Galashiels. That was 12, nearly 13 years ago, and I don't feel any different inside. I still want my sportscar, and my friends, and loud music. (DeathBoy's new Album is absolutely lethal for my driving habits, I get this big grin and have trouble extracting the right foot from the carpet, and the annoying Bose system in the Mazda comes together at "WHAT?!" volumes).

Sera.
Cheap option?

£900 for new lower arms, new dampers and replacing driveshaft boots. Of which nearly £600 is parts.

£99 per side for arms
£71 per side for dampers
£54 per side for boot kit (inner and outer driveshaft boots)

Plus brackets and bolts, plus labour, plus VAT.

It will get done, eventually.

I can do the dampers myself, but the arms and driveshafts require tools I don't have (and experience, and ideally a proper lift for the car to be off the ground). Dampers, I have done before. Removing them brings it to about £600 and the car will still handle like a pig/skate on poor surfaces.

Have I mentioned lately how much I *heart* my RX8?

Kitchen Plans were, logically, in the kitchen drawer where these things seem to end up. I have now scanned a copy of them and am going to go to the gym, though I really don't feel like it. I'm very much in a "Winter; pile on food and hibernate" mode today, and I have to fight it.

I also haven't started my website updates, since i thought I'd get the tidying out of the way first.

Right, Enola is booked in for Thursday 16th. So I can't do more than 300 miles in the meantime.

I'm thinking about what times my parents are on holiday, and when I've got to look after the house, and I think Judder is impossible as a result. Nevermind.

Gah.

You know what I like about the gym?

That it's quiet.

Except today, when it was "noisy OAP day".

You can tell you're being TOO LOUD when I can hear you over Genesis playing on my sound isolating headphones at LAWSUIT levels of loudness.

I left early, obviously.
