Weather: Brewing Clouds, Spewing Rain, a Gusto of Wind and a Pinch of Pollen.
News: Already organised, I have a lovely new diary 2006 bought, I think I’ll just pass it to the Stig so that he can wrap it up and give it to me at the appropriate time, it’ll be a nice gift for me and it’ll mean his job for gifting is not so traumatising this year. 
Mail: 2 copies of the Lego – Shop@Home catalogue. I like the look of the advent calendar even though I don’t normally get one. My WWF order still hasn’t arrived 
Dinner: Rotisserie Chicken with sauteed Pumpkin and Carrots and some sort of Carbohydrate (Potato or rice?) Dessert is undecided and probably non-existant.
Today was dull and uneventful. Good job I had rented Spiderman 2 to watch. It was a good idea too considering Spiderman the first film was out on the telly last week. So with the last film fresh in my mind, I watched the second one. I don’t know why, but compared to other superhero / action films, I like this one. It was a fun one to watch.
You just sit back and watch the bugs fly – I think my sister is watching the special features on it now.
Today was a tough day. I travelled across London for three hours, I went from one end of one tube line to the other end of a DLR (Docklands Light Railway) line. When I got there, I walked down the wrong street because I hadn’t read the map properly and did not notice that there was actually a line across where I was expecting to turn in, and thus had to backtrack. When I got to the place, there were carpets everywhere, spiderwebs on the ceiling and in the corners and the estate agent was a good 2 hours drive away and couldn’t make it.
I have told the estate agents that the wooden floors are a must for und1scl0sed reasons. And I have repeated this five times. I actually have a genuine reason for the wooden floors and not just because they are nicer, but everytime I tell the estate agent it’s like I’m telling them this for the first time. I am not impressed.
Considering it took me 3 hours on a one way journey, guess how long it took to get back?
By the way – the DLR was quite nice.
I am not well today. The weather is ugly, fat raindrops followed by heavy winds, not the sort of weather you want to be out dancing in. I missed a package delivery on Friday and was hoping to pop by the postal branch to collect on Saturday, but other things got in the way. So today I thought to go and get it, but when I peeped out from behind the blinds to see the weather outside, I thought better of it and phoned for redelivery instead.
The only thing I got to do was to check the mail at the post box . . . not even one ‘get well’ card
This evening I watched “Runaway Bride” … I did not like it. Following on from that, for a last minute put together dinner, I made breakfast, that is: eggs, bacon, mushrooms, the whole doo-lally. I feel like fixing a brush to my hand and applying it to canvas, I’ll tell you what happens later.
I awoke this morning to a very foggy scene outside. I couldn’t see as far down the street as I normally could, and the air was errily silent. I have never watched the movements of fog until I saw it happen in Norway last year. The time was 23:30 and I saw this huge wall of foggy cloud out at sea. Over the course of an hour, the wall of fog literally rolled in over the sea into the crevices of the fjord. As I was sited on one side of the fjord, watching it move literally right in front of me from left to right was peculiar, especially since I could see that the wall of fog had a straight vertical edge, and that it moved in what can only be described as “floating in slow motion”.
Well it’s been a long week: IT maintenance calls, fixing computers, trawling through dusty forgotten archives, annoying neighbours, same ole same ole really. The Stig has recently purchased a great number of books. Avid book worm that I am, I feel envious, but some things take precedence.
I have recently started going through the Latin Cambridge Course books from scratch, I last did Latin around 6 years ago. At the moment, all is easy and I’m breezing through, although I do remember book number 4 starting to be tricky. The great thing is, it’s all just nominative case and accusative case, before you know it, it’s the good old first conjugation, second conjugation, third … and fourth, and third declension ablatives are far far away!
