Book worm

I like reading. There’s nothing like opening a book for the first time and reading those first few lines. Those crisp new pages offering the promise of who knows just exactly what ahead. That satisfying crack when you put the first crease into the spine.

Ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da!

These are the monumental opening lines to the UK’s 2007 Eurovision entry. “The what?!” I hear some of you cry? (Okay….none of you.) Let me explain. In the spirit of all things “community”, us Europeans have a strange annual tradition of getting together and singing instantly forgettable songs to each other in a fairly pointless competition known as “Eurovision”.

Gardener’s grimace

Spent about five and a half hours in the garden yesterday and didn’t I know it today. Actually I knew about five minutes after I finished due to the stooped over unable to stand completely upright way of walking I had gradually developed over the course of the last hour or so.

Things that amuse me

I love those little catalogues that sometimes come inside magazines. They are always work a look. There are often little gems hiding inside them. I had one from House of Bath today and there was three items in particular that really brightened up my evening. I honestly can’t decide if it’s because I think they’re just daft or if it’s that secretly I want one of each.

End of a long weekend

This evening is the end of a four day weekend for me. I needed it though. Actually I’m sorry it’s over and I wish it could have gone on a little bit longer.  Definitely needed those four lie ins and am not looking forward to getting up early for work tomorrow.

Busy Day

I feel like I’ve done something useful today. I spent quite a bit of it outside doing some “gardening”. My major “project” for this year is to get my front and back gardens in better shape.
