In bed, aged 99, shot by a jealous husband

I'm conscious that I have not posted anything for a few days. But really, descriptions of sanding, cleaning, sealing and painting are, if anything, even less interesting than watching the paint dry. I can however report that if you get silicone sealant on your hands and you clean them as recommended using terps, they end up with a very strange dry slippery smooth feeling. Great for rubbing together and laughing maniacally.

I haven't even been reading much. To entertain myself I have been re-watching QI. You do learn some quite interesting stuff. For example the fatal dose of chocolate is about 22 pounds* (10 Kg). I suspect this is related to the fatal dose of caffeine but that varies a lot depending on the individual. Still, it does give me an answer should I ever play that old game of "how would you like to die".


*I originally wrote the "lb" abbreviation for pounds and then wondered, how many people reading this even remember such things.

As for the chocolate, I eat just the regular stuff. Dark chocolate (the darker, the better) has relatively little. But then I love the milk stuff. A little bit and I'm all right. Anymore, and it's up to me if I can put up with the (sometimes very painful) stomach aches, usually though I'm very careful.
