Stewart, the painter and decorator, was joined by his alter-ego, Stewart the electrician, to watch the football this evening. Stewart the historian, who couldn't bear to watch any more, was in the kitchen making the coffee. Mizzie, the expert hair shedder, was busy shedding hairs onto the armchair – and those that she wasn't shedding were being consumed to be deposited as a hairball on the carpet later. As you no doubt realise, I am still decorating the living room: it is a big room. As well as repainting the ceiling (three coats of white 'one coat' emulsion) and the intricate cornice (it looks nice, but you try giving it three coats of paint), I have to fill all the holes that removing the dado rail has left in the wall, for as well as removing the rail, I also removed huge chunks of 19th century horsehair plaster. I am also installing a new 13 amp ring circuit that will increase the number of electrical sockets from four to ten. I stopped decorating to watch the Scotland v. Hungary friendly international football match on TV. I wish I hadn’t bothered, for we were truly dire (even managing to score an own goal). Our next World Cup warm-up friendly is against Spain in Spain in a couple of weeks, then we are at home to Slovenia, who are apparently on a level with Hungary (supposedly worse than Scotland). Hungary managed to beat us 3-0. How to describe supporters of the Scottish national football team? Masochists.
