    One place I used to work closed down and the owners were very keen to sell the site for housing. One problem - shedloads of asbestos.

    Went past on my way home from my new job and the place was blazing away merrily. A year later - housing estate.

    Bit of a painful start to the week. First, a wasp which had landed on the back of my arm decided, with no prompting from me, to leave me a parting gift before buggering off. No need!

    I'd read somewhere that they are attracted to perfumey smells like deodorants, and it was a couple of inches from me armpit. So contrary to the advertised claims, Sure will let you down I think I'll go smelly and sweaty for what's left of the summer.

    Then later I used my impact driver to send a large woodscrew into my little finger. That bled a lot, and is still throbbing. Got a giant plaster round it now, so I can't bend it. Drinking tea like a posh person...

    Tomorrow I'm back up on my mate's roof doing repairs. What could possibly go wrong? Though they do say things come in threes

    Last night I had another of a recurring dream (3 or 4 times this year) where I am really good at skateboarding. A psychiatrist would probably say it's a midlife (or more likely late in life) crisis. I'd go along with that if it was something I regret letting passing me by, like surfing or learning to play piano, but skateboarding? Not on your nelly.

    There is no interpretation of dreams. These days Freud's theories are just out of date

    Dreams are simply the interruption of the brain's transfer of information from the short term memory (most of it trivial and unimportant) to the long term memory, filtering out the trivia.

    That is why dreams, which may appear significant to you, when related to second party have no interest to them.
