Random thoughts
1) I just realised that I have left the balcony door unlocked for three days now. Although it is our family joke that any burglar breaking into our house would probably take one look around and leave us fifty quid on the side.
2) My slippers have been missing since the weekend. Do you think this is simply coincidence?
3) I hit 65,000 words on the novel today. I cracked open the orange squash (because that’s all there was dear Burglar, in case you were wondering I haven’t had a scotch whiskey for ages and damn where did I put the keys to the back door again?) in celebration because it felt like I had stuck on the 64,000 mark for months, mainly because I kept deleting crap bits and finding more succinct ways of expressing myself, which is a good thing of course but also a bit disheartening because in terms of quantity it feels like I’m getting nowhere.
4) Boo! To the guy who chickened out and dealt too early on Deal or No Deal today. So you made the 18 grand deposit on your house, well that’s great, really it is but don’t you think you have a responsibility to make it a good show for the rest of us? Oh and another lesson learned, if your hormones are all over the place due to pregnancy, don’t go and watch your boyfriend in the audience to Deal or No Deal, you’ll cry when he wins the money and cry when he doesn’t win the money and those of us at home will laugh because it’s just MONEY at the end of the day.
5) Having said that most of us probably do cry over money when those bills come pouring in but not in a dabbing a delicate hanky in the corner of our eye kind of way, personally I would say it’s more of a cracking your head against the kitchen tiles whilst wailing mournfully thing, but maybe that’s just me and anyway at least we have the dignity to do so in our own homes.... so like I say Mr. Burglar.....
6) What was I saying about being succinct?.....
7) Did I mention that we’ve got a cat?.....
