Apologies, dear reader(s?) for my lack of posting recently. I know you'll have been rather upset not to have witnessed my oh-so-amusing tongue-in-cheek take on life of late, but I am currently in the midst of two family weddings and four houseguests (hmmm...sounds a bit like a film title, that?) and all the chaos that that sort of thing usually brings. Therefore my train of thought has been somewhat derailed in recent weeks; I know this will sound mad but I'm quite fond of chattering to myself when I'm around the house on my own. This is something I can't do when others are permanently here, and as a result my thoughts aren't quite as articulated in my own head as I would normally like them to be.
(and even as I'm typing this I'm being reminded of just how much I have missed, and enjoy wittering away 'on paper' as it were...I can't wait for September when I can go back to my sad little writing world properly)
Anyway, there are a few mad things that have been coursing through my mind recently, so I thought I'd share them here. And they are, in no particular order...
...colours for days of the week, and the fact that try as I might, I can't think of one that 'fits' right for Sunday. Ever since I was little, Monday has been light pink (like the inside of a sausage), Tuesday light green, Wednesday dark blue, Thursday brown, Friday light blue and Saturday red. But Sunday...blank.
...the fact that since watching 'The Hour' I have bucked my usual trend and developed a tiny little schoolgirl crush on Dominic West - or rather his character (that devastating combination of suave and insecure!) - which I'm almost certain will fade like handwriting in the sun once he's on TV playing Fred West. Or at least I hope it will.
...why cats seem to only like men, or women, but not usually both. Case in point: the cat next door which will only come to me and not my husband, or any other man for that matter. This made me ponder upon what might happen if a man had a sex change and then approached a cat who only goes to women. Or vice versa. I feel there needs to be a bona fide study looking into this.
...why on Earth Channel Five decided to continue 'Big Brother', which was once an interesting and useful social experiment (no, it really was!) but is now a dusty, tired old husk offering nothing other than sequins, shrill uninformed opinions and the overly long drawing up of cleaning rotas. 'Big Brother', 'Britain's Got Talent' and 'The X Factor' now officially depress the hell out of me. We've seen them all before...now there needs to be somebody waiting in the wings with a big old pantomime hook while the crowd (us) cry "Next!" But that will never happen, will it? (Figuratively, I mean - I know that'll never literally happen).
...how come some people are so interested in property prices? I honestly couldn't care less.
