boasting 11 January 2009
Well, I brought it on myself, really – I did the diary piece for the Irish version of the Sunday Times today and was a boastrel about blogging every day on this site. Those of you who have just joined or are regulars will note that there was no blog yesterday – hmmmm. Simple reason – I didn’t do it during the day and was too bendy when I got home after a doo at my sis in law’s. Foolish, as I have been in such situations before (and doubtless will be again) and can usually manage to write something before I go out in the full knowledge that, with the best will in the world, I will get blotto and be unable to churn up a thought at all let alone write it down. I have suffered much today as a result of the night out, you may be glad to hear, so no one is sorrier than me.
I also didn’t get around to this apology till now, either, ‘cos I was mesmerised by Sky Sports all day. I got it in for Christmas, as we now have a larger screen to watch everything on, and it’s BRILLIANT. Although we were stuck into soccer today I actually got it more for the golf. I don’t know why it is but I love watching golf on tv. I did a film with Tom Cruise years ago (yup, tis true) and he once remarked that watching golf on tv was about as interesting as watching the grass grow – I now beg to differ. I find it uber-exciting and seeing the lovely Tiger Woods in even higher definition courtesy of our new system is very fine indeed. I can’t play the game for toffee, by the by, but would love to – I disagree wholeheartedly with the theory that it is a good walk wasted.
