This truly IS mercuryvapour.co.uk
Ahhhh. What a day. Seems everything has been going my way. As I sit here, with a can of Carling, fizzing in one hand, I can confirm that this has been a Great Day. Oh yes.
Things didn’t look too rosy, when I realised I couldn’t connect to either my website or my email this morning. That’s normally not a good sign. That also meant that I couldn’t check the status of my latest ebuyer run (Which is already two days late, but according to their site, it’s been dispatched, and will arrive…. sigh… Monday). Got to work, and didn’t have a bad day. Funnily enough, I heard the best comment today from someone I didn’t even know knew about my website…
“It keeps me from thinking I’m the only mental person on this earth”.
Heh. I laughed like a drain.
So the afternoon passed slower than the turd I had at around 3PM. Onto dinnertime. Over the week, me and JT have had a little bit of a pool tourney going. Over the week, I’d won 2 days, he had won 2 days. So, today was the decider. Nail-biting match. With the score at 3-3, the last frame was the best I’ve ever seen. I potted three reds off the break. No shit. 3 reds. It still managed to be a black ball game. And, I messed it up. I left the black millimetres from the pocket. Slightly against the cushion, but still an easy pot. All the had to do was hit it, and it would have been game, set match.
He completely missed the black. I think we both stood there in a moment of disbelief, as the white rolled across the table. JT doesn’t often curse, but in my 3.5 years of knowing him, that had to be the loudest expletive I’ve ever heard him come out with. It’s not often I win much. That set up the night for me. I was buzzing. The Serotonin (5-Hydroxy-tryptamine or 3-(2-aminoethyl)-1H-indol-5-ol… oh no! I’m turning into Robert “Believe it or not, my testicles are bigger than his” Winston!) was flowing greater than ever. Hurrah!
But nothing could come close to what I came home to. Remember The Queens getting demolished? Well, they’ve started work on the site that’s going to be flats. Over the last few days, they’ve been moving stuff over there, portakabins and bollocks like that. I got home tonight, and found something I thought I’ve never see. Yes, the compound is lit by MERCURY VAPOUR! One of the lamps now lights up part of the back garden! It’s *sniff* beautiful! And, thanks to the powers of reflection, I’m currently receiving mercury vapour light into my bedroom! I’m sure you’re dying to know what it looks like. Well, I avoided the dogshit in the garden, and took this pic.
Excuse the blurryness and smallness. My main camera is on charge. But it’s there, and that’s the main thing. For the first time since 1995, Mercury Vapour (only very slightly) lights my room!
