THE RIGHT STUFF - A POST IN PROGRESS


As I’ve yet to set up the computer ( we don’t have a computer desk yet for the study and the dining room furniture hasn’t been delivered) I’m writing this post on my iPad. Script is OK albeit slow but inserting images and copy and pasting links and information is very difficult so this post will be completed later.

Here’s a stat though …


 Well, I guess ‘stuffing’ might be applicable but I mean the right pillow.

We have our bed in the master bedroom set up and have slept here for the last two nights. Unusual for me though I’ve been unable to sleep well. I put it down to the fact that I don’t have my proper ‘sleeping’ pillow. Since moving down from Whangarei before Christmas I haven’t been using my favourite pillow and compromised with another one when sleeping in the apartment. My favourite one is packed away in a box somewhere and I’ve yet to find it. The compromise one, while not as good is back at the apartment in Cuba Street which I will retrieve today.

The right pillow with the right stuffing is important for a good night’s sleep. It can also circumvent neck pain. A stiff neck along with bac strain is what I have at the moment but … you don’t want to hear about that.

Over at Richard’s blog you will soon hear of his toilet capers but … you don’t want to hear about that.

At Robert’s resurrected blog he will tell you about his fishing problems and for the life of me I can’t understand why he doesn’t just ask his pal Jesus or his mother Mary to give him some fish seeing that Jesus has plants to spare and can rustle up some wine on call as well but … you don’t want to hear about that.

What you want to hear about is The Right Stuff, the excellent Tom Wolfe book …

I hope your 'bac' is feeling better soon. Maybe it's just missing a 'k'?

"Here’s a stat though …" Did you mean 'start'?

No update to the post yet.
Good news though. I found the perfect study desk setup at Warehouse Stationery at Lyall Bay. Two 1400 mm wide desks side by side will give both of us room for our computers. I still will be banned access of course when she is working at home but, with her office only a 10 minute walk away hopefully I’ll get my study back.
I’ll buy the desks and pick them up Flat pack) tomorrow.
