Read all about it here.<\/a> Fiddling your expenses is one thing, as many British Members of Parliament have found just recently. But having to pay back over \u00a312,000 – that must be something of a record. And Gordon Clown, having made members of his own party stand down over 4 or 5 grand – what do you think might happen to him? Watch out for a “Hypocrite Of The Year” award nomination in a couple of months time.<\/p>\n

\"plasterboard<\/a>In other news, my attic is advancing, and I now have the plasterboarding on over the timber framework that is the head of the stairs.<\/p>\n

You can see what I’m going to do with the plastic that I bought. That corner is where my desk is going to be, and there is a good view out of the window in the side wall over to the range of hills on the skyline 4 or 5 kms away. If I put a solid wall there I won’t get the view and it seems a shame to waste it, so a little window is called for so I can look outside when I’m working.<\/p>\n

You can also see the little cupboard that I’ve made. All the odds and ends will be put in the boxes I bought at IKEA and will be stacked in there.<\/p>\n

But it’s all going so perishingly slowly and I just don’t understand it. I’m working constantly and don’t notice the time. And when I do glance at the clock thinking that it’s about 12:30 and there’s still 90 minutes to lunch, it’s in actual fact 14:30. I just don’t understand it. So I’ve no idea when I’m going to be finished and I’ve given up planning.<\/p>\n

And just in case you are wondering, but I’m sure you are not, the number of “extra” members of the Anglo-French Conversation Group, those who crawled out of the woodwork on Friday to appear on the televised version, who appeared at the “regular” untelevised version tonight, was … errrrrr … ZERO.<\/p>\n

But there again, you guessed that already, didn’t you? Or is it just me who is the only cynic around here?<\/p>\n
