Random writings from various parts of Wednesday

I stopped yesterdays blog when I did because my little helpful word counter on my word processing programme of choice told me it was exactly 250 words in length. I had a little nostalgic flashback to a time when OCD was running rife and I thought it would be nice to leave it how it was.

I had plenty more stuff to type but I’ve forgotten it all now. Isn’t that typical? Certainly is when you get to my age. God knows how many mould-breaking, awe-inspiring wonderful ideas I’ve lost by not writing them down as soon as I had them…

I’m feeling a bit weird about Easter Eggs. Normally I treat myself to something nice, but with the recent stomach upheaval and unspecified-immune-system-weirdness I don’t really fancy sweet stuff at all. I’m thinking I might get myself a non-chocolatey Easter gift of some kind. Maybe a new Wii game and a nice bottle of wine to drink while playing it.

Should I get Philippa an Easter present? And if the answer is ‘yes’ then my follow-up question is ‘what should it be?’

My YouTube clips of choice at the moment (normally used as a distraction while doing orders or staff rotas in my office at work) involve Frankie Boyle performing comedy, 1970s live music from the ‘Whistle Test’ archives, and fat women sledging in the recent snow. There’s something I find hypnotic about the sight of an overweight red-cheeked lady screaming as she plummets down a small icy slope on a cheap plastic sledge. Maybe it’s a weird new fetish. If it is, I’ll just add it to the list with all my others.

Damn it, I’ve gone over 250 now….. (words, I mean, not fetishes)
