Sunday
Feel quite quite bleuh today (definition of bleuh - feeling greasy faced, fat and bored.) I think I miss the discipline of the creative writing course, I need to knuckle down and get on with it. I'm reading The Murder of Roger Ackroyd at the moment and there is a really funny scene where four of them are playing Mah Jong. Agatha is very good at dialogue. Also watched The Bourne Identity, really enjoyed it, I think Matt Damon is a under rated actor ( or perhaps I just under rated him, I was surprised at how good he was.) The underlying feeling of bleuh has stayed with me all day. Steve and I took the dogs out for a walk this morning and I enjoyed that. We don't actually walk them together that much (too busy) so it is nice when we get the chance to. I took the dogs to the beach yesterday and saw horses galloping along the shore, that was great. Sometimes I can't believe I live in such a nice place. Outside the fire station they have made hanging baskets out of their helmets. the police station has proper hanging baskets. perhaps they get paid more.
Yes, I'm very jealous of you living in Shoebury village - much more quaint than the part I live in! You get hanging baskets, I get graffiti!
ReplyDeleteThe Murder of R.A. was one of my FAVE A.C. books - think it was the one she was writing when she disappeared... and she got into a lot of trouble with her crime-writing peers over that one!
Just got a drink, btw, and remembered to shut the fridge door quietly, so not to wake Lola... then came into this room, tripped up and woke Reggie up!!! D'oh! Rubbish mum!
