"Right" said Fred

How many blogringers does it take to change a monitor? It depends how much time you have to spare, but to my certain knowledge it takes four people over an hour. After all, there’s eight shelves to be emptied of all their tat essential items, then the unit needs to be moved from the wall and the shelving raised. This is the point where it’s discovered that the wall socket is mongoosed and there’s electricity pouring out all over the floor. Lorry reassuringly pointed out that it would soak up into the carpet and I didn’t need to fetch a mop and bucket. But that meant the plug needed changing. After that it was a relatively simple job to untangle the spaghettiesque network of cabling and exchange leads. So woo and yay for Swedish regal kindnesses! We now have a dazzlingly bright monitor requiring the use of industrial strength Raybans. I’ve almost got the shelves restocked again, and once more it’s possible to cross the room. Hurrah! Celebration cake and cups of tea were called for before Mal and Lorry continued their way homewards.

Thanks for the book, Sarah! Very timely, as I'm on the last chapter of my current one.
