On the [evening after the] morning after the ride before
I am told that the second day is the worst.
I hope that’s true.
On lacking expectation
Did anyone else notice the parts where I said “plan” and claimed it as my own?
Did all the alarm bells start ringing?
On making ones bed (but not lying on it)
I’ve mostly slept on an airbed since moving into my flat. The first one died, despite the stars, and I replaced it with a second of the same sort. I love airbeds, especially the deep ones, but since winter arrived it’d started to get damp underneath and I really really don’t want the floor to […]
Happy New Year :)
I’m clinging to Christmas for a little while longer.. Hope you all had a good one 🙂
On living..just about and yet still more than in a long while
Sometimes it seems you have to feel dead to know you’re really alive… (Still looking forward to Christmas and lots of sleep though)
On naked v. knackered
For various reasons I am down to one pair of trousers which fits. I took said pair of trousers off and left them on the bathroom floor while I had a shower. It was already late and I was already sleepy, but sometimes needs must. I got out of the shower, looking forward to going […]
On having no room at the north pole
Someone was telling me about a present they’re making for their grandson. It’s quite complicated and involves making various animals from different parts of the world. He’d just finished a group of baby seals. “Are you going to make a big seal to look after them?” “No. The North pole is full!”
My aquarium
Just because I don’t remember putting pictures of it up before..
On pre-Christmas mince pies
Is there any better way to spend a Friday afternoon?
On [self-inflicted] frustration
(Another one from the drafts folder) “I hate satnags And traffic And running out of fuel And hotel receptionists who have to show you how the lights work in your room And not finding anywhere to park And people who don’t put signs up to let you know where you’re going And the lack of […]
On looking too hard
Sometimes you realise you’ve spent such a lot of time looking so closely at the details, you don’t know what they’re even details of anymore…
On the difference between days
Yesterday I mended the tip-ex mouse, helped the secretary with some tricky stuff on her computer and maybe taught a year 8 kid some maths (“maybe” because I’m not sure how much stuck.). I feel those are 3 good uses of a day. Today I have nothing of note to mention. I assume I must […]
On damselflies in December
She must have hitched a ride with the pondweed… The aquarium water must feel like summer, too bad my flat isn’t sunny and warm really! 😉
On having a day off
Sometimes I realise just how much I need to charge my batteries. Today was such a day. Today, I slept late, slept through the afternoon and am going to bed fairly early. I feel this is a good way to spend a day. Not every day, but once in a while. I hope tomorrow will […]
