Vacation! Sort of.

Only one and a half days left then I’m off for a whole week of vacation. Well sort of. We’re not going anywhere, the plan is to potter around the house doing “stuff”. The list of “stuff” is getting quite large. It includes:

  • Finish putting the TV room back together.
  • Clean and tidy everything.
  • Play with the new PVR arriving on Saturday (yay!).
  • Take delivery and install truckfuls of stuff from Ikea.
  • Do something about the damn leaves.
  • Dig stuff up.
  • Plant new stuff.
  • Clean the gutters.
  • Put away the garden furniture.
  • Blog.
  • Relax. (optional)

No doubt Jen will comment on this post, adding all the things I forgot.

While we welcome people from other countries…If they don’t want to say it our way…
I believe we say “putter” on this side of the pond, or is it just down here south of the border that we say putter. I only seem to remember the word in (British) books.

So, when you hear the name “Harry Potter” does it conjure up pictures of someone “occupying themself in an aimless and ineffective manner” (AHD)? I had never made a connection before between his name and potter the way you just used it.

To be honest, I never associated Harry’s surname with aimlessness, but “putter” just makes me think of Tiger Woods.
