Reading a book at the moment called Think Like Da Vinci. Good so far. But the best bit is...
...my new found love affair with the sofa.
I have done many enjoyable and exhilarating things in my life, but I have never experienced such a durable ecstatic feeling as the one when I make a cup of tea whilst still in my dressing gown, and lie down on the sofa for a few chapters of my latest read.
I have had to put the book down and type this whilst in "the position" just so as I don't forget. This is true bliss.
Sofas and beds should be shopped for wisely. Here's a photo of mine:
I bought it in a sale at Harrods, should have been £4k but it was down to £1,195 - absolute bargainus! Sorry to go on about it but it is so luxuriant.
Tash has her own:
Right back to my self help, how to become a genius book. Apparently it is learnable.

Morning Christoph, the sofa looks mighty comfy, dunno how you drag yourself away to get on with the show. Also when buying sofas always remember to take measurements with you, made that mistake before and when its delivered, its flippin huge, and in a modest lounge it looks massive!
Morning everyone else
Happy Anni JG, nice to get flowers, the ones I get are normally purchased by moi when doing the weekly shop in ELH!!

There`s something that`s been bugging me for some time now and I don`t know why!? I used to think it was good, then bad I really don`t understand it. Could it be a mistake, if so how? I`d love to wake up knowing it had all lead to something, but I fear this thing that is bugging me will never leave me.

Mon dieu, CLP - your sofa looks fabbylishus! And what a bargain!
We paid a little more than that for our mattress and it's the best investment EVER!
Our sofa is huge too, but the only piece of soft furnishing in the room - given that there's only 2 of us and it's an ickle room in an ickle house. The sofa is big enuff for us to lay down, side my side, and watch a fillum. ALtho this is not recommended for football match viewing due to muchos shouting, kicking and general hooliganism (and that's just me - ha!)
Onwards and indeed upwards.
Loving the hoodie look - mine's a white number from Ikea!

Loving the sofa look Chris! That is also one of my favourite positions (no rude comments please), plus a patchwork quilt that permanently lives on my sofa at the moment. I might have to assume the position again very shortly as . . . .

I bought a new sofa back in May I think it was.
Havent sat on it yet. I like my comfy clapped out old armcahair in my comfy little corner of the room. I know my place!!
Strange question of the day, well first one anyway...
Does everyone have one ear lower than the other?
Reason for asking, My glasses always look lopsided, and after a quick look at CLPs pic, think he may have it going on too!
Back to oven for final stage, putting it all back together.
Then a much needed shower.

Greetings on this fine sunny tuesday!
Liking the idea of a nice snuggly dressing gown (I so want one with a hood on it!), the sofa and a book today. Feeling a bit under the weather, there's a germ lurking I fear.
Before I can assume the position on the sofa I have to go buy some pet shampoo. Cat came home last night covered in what smells like olive oil, where from I have no idea, but she's doing such a good job of pulling her own fur out, I think I need to intervene and give her a bath.... that'll be fun!

Hi Chris,
I soooo get you and the book thing. Unfortunately I go o bed lot earlier now to read mine only to have hubby get in and inform me 'you know I can't sleep with the light on' - eh scuze me but that's AFTER he's kipped for a couple of hours on the sofa downstairs - yes with the chuffin light on!!!
Oh and his pet hate is when I arrive downstairs with my fabulous pink fluffy dressing gown and look like the prevebial beached whale. He hates it with a vengance while I think its fab to slob around in.

Getting a bit of painting done this week and then hopefully it all gets moving again next week, with the arrival of plumber and electician.

Belated Tuesday afternoon greetings to the blog!
A couple of luvly looking squooshy sofas there CLP... just right to have a lie and read on. I've taken to using my extra large sofa for lying on now so that I can stretch right out and give the bump maximum roomage!
On that front I took Mum along with me on Monday to the first day of antenatal course. She came out and told me that she was now far happier about the whole thing now... considering she's had 2 of her own. Aparrently she knew nothing about what was going on and is now fully in favour of me having a water birth if at all possible and has reminded me to make sure I listen to my hypno-birthing CD's every night! After the next round of the course I think she'll be quite the expert!!
I hope everyone else is doing well and enjoying another seemingly warm and marvelous week. I shall be heading off down to Londinium tomorrow ready for the press launch and then presentation at the Langham on Thursday... a big deal for us so keep your bits crossed for me.

Have managed to wangle lunch out today with GM mum so beans on toast for tea here..yum! Really into this not cooking lark!
But need confessions please..who`s nicked the lid off my blender?! Turned the kitchen upside last night 3 times looking for it.. nope,nada,zilch..gone to the place with the odd socks i think. But hand blended soup instead and was delish..if a little lumpy!

MC, it was just a local cleaning company who did the whole house and whatever else you asked for, it was a one-off just before our wedding when I wanted everything to be perfect. I can't remember the hourly rate, soz.

Listen you lot - leave the snorers alone (oops has that given it away that I am one???)
When I went on holiday with a 'friend' she made my life so uncomfortable, coz I kept her awake, that I slept 2 nights on the balcony with the sliding doors to the room shut .....and I was still able to keep her awake!

Sweet sufferin' holy jayzus Christoff.
If I came home to find a sight like THAT on me settee I'd welt it with me 'andbag and phone the Boys In Blue pdq.
My old nan's settee was the BEST. All worn and battered with the antimacassars on, and always something sticky, fluffy and disturbin' lurkin' down the back.
I HATE leather sofas. Ew. All clammy and cold, and if yous jump on with a bit too much enthusiasm yous can be jet-propelled out the window like Edna The Eagle. Nope, I like the nice squashy sofas with the comfy cushions yous can thump to your hearts' content and pretend it's a car-clamper, or hide behind whilst watchin' CSI, Fanny Cradock or The Man Whose Skin Fell Off on Discovery.
Well, howya chaps, haven't lurked yet as have to get Damian to pull me wellies off. Last time he did that he fell backwards over the bidet and put 'is back out so I might have to use a spot a bribery. Or the trouser-press.

Hi Chris and all blog peeps,
Just poking my head round the door. Have not been able to keep up at all recently. Truly have an absent note!
Have started to catch up yesterday and today.
Chris: love the reading material and what to read it on (as in furniture and not parchment)! To follow on in the same order I would go with "On the Shortness of Life" by Lucius Seneca and then "The 4 hour work week" by Tim Ferris. Sofa - the one I lie on, it's more like Tash's sofa but the OH is well over 6 foot (still cant get my head round feet instead of meters since I came back from t'other side of t'channel) and not able to stretch out properly - he's coping thanks to a very positive mind set!
Lyndy - go with the water flow: giving birth is all about you and the baby. After that, its all about the baby! Big hugs!!
Darce - big hugs - sent you message on fb.
MC - I can't help much, except send positive vibes.
MTF - love the idea of a clean oven.
If I listed everyone I want to mention it would be endless but hugs to you all.

Sorry Chris, I always forget to address you once I've read through the posts.
We have a sofa each..The CMM's being a soft, forgiving, lounging one with loads of cushions - mine being a smart brown aged leather one (really want a nice Chesterfield) and if Ms Rubbish wants to pop round I reckon my 'athletic' build should see me bouncing her from mine to the CMM's.
The problem really arises when we want a snuggle - she has yet to accept an invite over to my sofa.....

Dare I pop my head round the door a second time to recommend a really good book? "The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo". Sieg Laarson (sp? have leant book to my sister so cant confirm spelling).
Its a crime thriller. It was recommended to me and I must admit it was a really good read. Apparently it is crime thriller book of 2009, part of a trilogy of which the third book is just coming out now.
So Chris, if you are into Da Vinci, as your blog title suggests, I think you will enjoy this. Apparently, each book of the trilogy is independant and can be read on its own. I have read the first one and can confirm this.
Good night all, and happy reading.

Happy Hump Day!
Went to bed really early last night and slept right thru to Mr Deev's alarm at 5. He's now gawn to work and I;m wide awake so might go into work early and get cracking ..... database Wednesday!
It's something I've been wanting to get started on for weeks but am a little scared due to not having used Access for years. So I've dusted down my Access For Eejit Diva's book, ensured lots of coffee in the cupboards and will go go go today and break the back of it. Really!
Good catching up last night - fab to see Margot and DebC back - and howdie to the rest of you.
Rips - where you orf to this time? Hope you're collecting the air miles to put towards recreational use in the future!
Anyhoo, coffee #1 getting cold so I'll catch up with you all later.

Morning all! Meant to say that yesterday, of course, but wow what a day, and not in a good way. Well, not in a bad way either, just soooo busy, didn't get away 'til 5 (I usually finish at 4 - that's me leaving at 3 on Friday then hehe). Not a lot else going on in Flowerland - well, there is but I'm not bringing the blog down...
So, Deev, Access eh? Good luck with it, I hope they leave you alone to get on with it. Must admit, I would love something like that to get my teeth into (now, get your minds out of the gutter! Tsk, at this time in the morning too!).
Seza, that made me laugh, breaking your tooth on a cushion. Poor Boy2! Hope you're being suitably supportive and not laughing at the lopsided vampire look. Enjoy your day off anyway - any plans?
Hi MTF! And DebbieC and Rips and Beez and Margot.......
CLP, sorry but I know nothing about chord changes, wouldn't know a chord change if it battered me round the head with a wet kipper... But loving your comfy sofa pose, and you look so cute with the hoodie dressing gown!

Another nice day in Kent, well it's not raining and the sun is trying to peep through the clouds. All alone in the office today and I'm bored already so it doesn't bode well for the rest of the day!
For Key Change Wednesday all Chris has to do is play every WestLife song (or PondLife as I like to call them)! Every song they covered, because lets face it they never sang a song they wrote themselves, had a key change and a "get up off the stools moment" in them - as you can tell I'm a big fan......NOT!!
