a week of shenanigans

i think the title might be an understatement really. this week has been madness. first of all i started my second school placement. most people reading this aren't going to realize the full annoyance of this but my uni tutors decided to place me in Maesteg. to put it into context we live in mumbles, a small place to the west of swansea, kind of round the bay. maesteg on the other hand is way east of swansea then up a big valley and impossible to reach by public transport in anything less the 2 and 1/2 hours and 3 buses oh and i don't drive oh and it's a split site school where it's too far to walk between the lower school and the upper school.

also this week i managed to kill the fridge. i was helpfully trying to free up a bit freezer space with a tapping hammer, yes just a tapping hammer when i started to hear a hissing sound. yes i had punctured a hole in the freezer compartment. from there it was a slow but steady decline for the the fridge till it flatlined sometime the next day. we tried all manner of intervention but done of it took. glue, cork, gaffer tape- all to no avail.

then today i went managed to to flip the self that holds all our plates and mugs in the kitchen. now the jury's still out as to quite what happened but i think the fact that the shelf apparently was never nailed down in the first place shows that it's not really my fault. anyway that puts me way ahead in the breakages league table. which looks a little like this:

steve: 1 plate, 1 wine glass, 2 pint glasses, 1 coffee jug, 1 fridge
roxy brian: 1 internet cable, 1 phone cable, 1 pint glass
lisa: 1 wine glass

steve you failed to mention the other coffee maker that suffered in the shelf disaster, our beautiful cups that we bought in latvia and the fact that after i had just hired a carpet cleaner, spent two hours cleaning the kitchen carpet, you then managed to cover it in red wine which had also been on the shelf. not that it was your fault of course. frank spencer. also to our surprise this week we had a number of phone calls from people asking if they could look around our flat, always nice when your crazy landlady neglects to tell you that you will be moving out!
