We had to admit defeat. Yesterday got the better of us. By the time the two of us who showed up tonight got onto a second pint it was a fight to keep the eyes open. So a couple in the Porterhouse (I was disappointed to find out that Vienna was for the winter season and not being served anymore) followed by just in the one in the Maple Leaf and back home by 9. Kinda shot the bank holiday weekend Saturday night plans to hell eh! The weather we had been promised didn’t show up. It was grey, cold and overcast with spots of rain all day. It wasn’t great and I got no reading done.
Well nevermind, yesterday was a good day. If for one factor alone, and one that we reminded ourselves of quite a bit. We were sitting on a boat on the Thames drinking beer in the sunshine and…it was a Friday afternoon. It did go on for a little longer than intended but it was good and we managed to cover a number of pubs throughout the day. Luckily enough there was some food a long the way (a nice pizza served by an even nicer waitress) and as it was all spread out, there was no hangover this morning. I think it in fact hit last night just before I went to bed and was gone by morning. This was a good thing. The sanding and painting and all the rest would have driven me over the edge had I been suffering the full effects of a hangover.
Some strange thoughts lately and some really weird dreams overnight. Really weird, I right now can’t remember then except in patches but I remember being a little disturbed and disoriented when I woke up. That’s kinda normal for me, the forgetting that is. I usually remember my dreams when I wake up and indeed I use to write them down. But give them a few hours and they are gone.
I suspect they were influenced by a conversation I had over dinner last night. The thought involved wasn’t a stranger to me of late but it did come a little out of left field. These things happen I guess. I don’t really know what else to say or think there. It’s just one of those things.
Something struck me last night while I was thinking about some other stuff. It’s been at least 6 months since I saw some people, possibly going on 8. In some cases it’s going on a year. Not necessarily a bad thing in all cases but in some, it’s not the best.
Do you ever clean out your phonebook? I don’t. I use my mobile mainly for all my numbers. It’s not idea but it’s handy and it means I always have numbers. I was flicking through it earlier today and I have a couple of numbers in there for a friend that isn’t with us anymore. I scroll past the numbers every now and again and in the odd times when I have been cleaning out my phone I’ve left them in there. Not for any useful reason i.e. I don’t call them, they may not even be numbers in use anymore, but just because I don’t want to delete them. Just one of those things I guess, but I’m not going to be deleting them anytime soon.
Been watching lots of Stargate over the past few days. Quite enjoyed them all too. Nothing special in any of them but some good fun and certainly nothing like as bad as I heard season 5 had been. I liked the ending of the season and I’m looking forward to the next. Unfortunately, I have no more to watch right now, I do have some 24 downloaded and ready to watch tomorrow. Not having much luck getting caught up on Angel. Missed a few episodes and it’s not as widely distributed as most other shows so it’s a stretch to catch up with.
I think tomorrow will be another sleeping late day. Katrina’s mother is staying with us tomorrow night and there has been painting going on. So there is quite a bit of tidying to get through. Gah that’s always fun. Ah well I guess I can’t complain, she at least has the sense (or indeed the chance) to leave the place when I have family over.
I don’t have anything else to say. I’m sitting here trying to find something else to write knowing that there is stuff, but it’s just not flowing. So here is a bad joke which amused me earlier today, for you all to appreciate.
