I'm sure I know some people who did testing for Grand Theft Auto

Plans!

Are, as usual, best laid. Which is ironic, considering that the floor laying could be going...better.

Not that anything has gone _wrong_ as such, it's just taking longer than expected, which means that rather than coming home to a lovely looking hall, kitchen and bedroom, and then spending some time clearing the study so that they could put the flooring down in there tomorrow, I instead came home to a lovely looking hall, and half the bedroom.

Which does rather leave me with a shortage of places to sleep. Now, I do have a lovely brother, sister-in-law and nephew living in the centre of town. On the other hand, said nephew tends to get up at 7am and we...don't. A quick check of laterooms.com showed up a bunch of hotels for cheap, and £30 later we're staying somewhere nice just up the road.

Which led to the following conversation:
Julie: I have a plan! Let's go to the cinema tonight!
Andy: And we can get dinner in one of the nice restaurants next to it!
Julie: Dinner and Cinema!
Andy: Dinnerma!
