If you want something done

Do it yourself.

Self help by pigmentation, these stairs have been in need of tlc for longer than I care to remember. I was out with a brush at 7.30 this morning doing little fiddly bits before heading off to work.

Work, for once, was actually productive and the bit of work that has kept me occupied for the last two weeks was an unqualified success. Which was nice.

Then an evening of fighting with telco's, unreasonable requests, tech support with added unexpected trips down memory lanes to different worlds, before finally climbing these stairs to bed.
