ooh 14 May 2008
Ooh, just got one of those weird emails that is complete gobbledygook and am now convinced I have unleashed the powers of darkness or somesuch on my laptop. It’ll cap a strange day. It started with Richard going off to Los Angeles – not unusual but I did wake up, make tea and see him off, then gave into the fact that I had begun the day (as opposed to going back to bed and sleep which is my preferred option always) but managed to squander most of it. I think I was a bit brain dead, to be honest. Got only the tiniest bit of writing done, though had a nice idea late on, which I will make detailed notes of now and tackle in the morning. The strangest thing though is that today work on the big development next door began and they’ve started by cutting down lots of the lovely trees that were growing on the site. I’m really hoping that the birds hadn’t started laying their eggs, or worse that they may have hatched some already, cos if they were resident in those trees that’s the end of the next generation right there. The site looks naked now without the leafy loveliness. They’ll be replaced by modern and quite ugly apartments in time – not exactly a fair swap but that’s progress, so we’re told.
Had a bag of the rank cheese ‘n onion crisps (well, the hubby is away and ye know how I am)…hate myself now…
Looking forward to starting afresh with aplomb (and perhaps lots of other words beginning with ‘a’) tomorrow.
