I have just gotten up

Getting old ain't for wimps!

I don't mind getting old, which is just as well because no one is asking my opinion, but I would like to be able to start on the bathroom.

I am a diabetic which means I drink a lot of water which in turn means that I have to get up every hour or so to pump ship. And that in turn means that my sleep cycle is a bit buggered so that for a few months of the year I spend much of the day asleep and the night awake.

It is no bad thing. I have got Fernando Cervantes' Conquistadors to read.

But there is no way I can start reinstalling the sink in the bathroom

Sod it, I am going back to bed.
