A few random thoughts scribbled
down during today…
If every morning in Winter could be like the last
few (bright, crisp, no wind) I would find the days so much easier to survive.
I’m excited! Lots of fun things coming up. Mathew’s
first birthday won’t be a big event for him, but it’s a lovely milestone for
us. At times, I’ve worried that I wouldn’t be able to get him through to the
end of a year, so it feels like quite an achievement. Our family Xmas gathering
is all sorted and settled, and I’m ahead with everything I need to get done at
work, so the pressure feels off even though it’s the company’s busiest time. As
long as no member of staff drops me in it by getting flu, everything should run
smoothly.
‘Knives Out’ looks like a fun film, and I’d love to
go and see it, but God knows when I’ll fit it in. It might end up being one of
those ‘movies I was desperate to see at the cinema but ended up viewing on
Netflix.’
The BBC version of ‘The War of the Worlds’ may have
been the worst television programme of the decade. How can you take one of the
greatest stories ever written and turn it into that soft, soporific Sunday
night shitefest? I would complain about how my licence fee is being spent, but the
mad fighting hamsters on ‘7 Worlds, 1 Planet’ last week means I’m quite likely
to forgive them.
I know I should take opportunities to tempt you to
visit our supermarkets, but actually the best mince pies I’ve tasted so far
this year are at Smith & Sons bakery round the corner. £1.50 for 4, freshly
baked every morning, packed with filling, and made with enough salted butter to
give a herd of elephants a heart attack.
