Long weekend, time to crash [links, pics, rec]

The work was supposed to be done in a week: the window in the attic was going to be replaced and asbestos would be removed. Since I didn't find my key in the mailbox as promised, I decided to take a look upstairs. It seems they removed part of the window frame and stuffed it with a bit of crumbled up paper. Which of course isn't waterproof, so there was water dripping on my carpet. Good job, guys. They also apparently used my attic as storage space. I hope to talk to the contractor on Monday. It's a good thing I emptied out the area and covered all my precious equipment...

On a happier note: only two more weeks until Sinterklaas-festivities! This morning the neighbourhood version of our St. Nick did his rounds together with his musical Petes:)

More good stuff: I already got a birthdaypresent! To comfort me after reading Thursday's sick and tired post rispacooper surprised me with Nick/Greg fic! It made me feel so much better and you should all go and read it and tell her how awesome she is: Truth And Dare

My throat still hurts and I have a serious case of the sniffles, which looks like it will grow into the barking cough over the next few days. But this afternoon I will let myself be pampered by Mom: I'm going over to her for dinner and tonight we are going to the Art house for 'Amazing Grace' with Ioan Gruffud. Mmmm.

Ugh, don't you just love it when people do exactly as they promised? Not.
Anyway, I hope they'll be done soon, and that they don't destroy anything while they are busy up there. :3

I just hate not being informed about it, seems to me it takes little effort to put up a little note on the messageboard near the frontdoor to let us know the work is delayed. *rolls eyes*
They better not fuck up my attic! We neeeeedz it for marathons of pretty!

Yes, we do. \o/ By the by, I asked for that sunday off, so it's all systems go at my side. :P

Yay! I went up the attic today: no workmen, but more leakage... I plan to call the contractor tomorrow, but whatever happens, the place will be fine before our date;)
