My Day Today

Here's my day so far - not every little bit - for example, whilst I could relate at what time I cleaned my teeth, for how long and what brand of toothpaste I used, this could be construed as being too detailed to be worth reading. Or indeed writing. This is just the highlights. I think you'll enjoy it as much as I did.

1. I went for a haircut. I wasn't sure whether I was going to bother or not, right up until the point where my path would diverge either towards the barber, or towards town. The hair could have waited for another week, and I wasn't really in the mood. But what guarantee would I have that I'd have time next Saturday? None! So, carpe dium and all that. And now I am shorn. Not that it's much different or anything, just a little shorter.

2. I bought an engagement card. Will you people please stop getting married? It's costing me a fortune! Ok, it's not a hugely big or expensive card, but it all adds up. Now I just need to get round to writing it and hoping that I can remember the address.

3. Happy Birthday Jenny! I think it's today...

4. I've been getting slightly too much pleasure listening to Dire Straits' "Telegraph Road". Great song. A bit long though, clocking in as it does at 14 minutes and 16 seconds. Time enough to make and drink a cup of tea? No it wasn't. The tea was cherry by the way.

5. I should try and think of a plan for tonight. Maybe I'll get lucky and someone reading this will do one for me - hint, hint. (Listening to "Mr Brightside" by The Killers as I write this - it's very good!).

6. I Purchased my first bag of Satsumas of the year (I think). Must mean that Christmas is coming near. And I was convinced in town last night that a brass band was playing "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town". Though it was apparently "Da doo ron ron" by The Crystals. Go here for Bon-tempi-tastic version of it. Speaking of last night, at least I know now how a Walla-walla-bing-bang is made, and I do plan to stop narrating pigeon porn.

I think that that covers off all the high points. Doncha wish you were me?

And finally (for now), why not visit "Mondo di residuo di stoffa". Always fun.
