chaletian1. I have just written a giant letter to my grandfather, who is still not very well, outlining the latest week's action in Hollyoaks and providing an indepth analysis of same. I am sure he will be delighted.
2. I have bought two new blouses with my birthday Monsoon vouchers. One is black and slightly frilly, and the other is green with little white spots and an enormous bow thing about which I am still sceptical.
3. I finished Psmith yesterday. No more Psmith. Not that there was ever more Psmith, because I had already read it all, but still. Katie is now moving on to Mike and Psmith. I am sure she will enjoy it. It combines the virtues of Psmith and the early C20th school story. There is no room for error there.
4. I am now reading Watchmen, which I am already enjoying a great deal. I have never read comics before (except that Biggles one... oh, and about five years' worth of Bunty, but I'm not sure that counts), so this is a new departure for me. I feel like I am growing as a person.
5. Theatre! We need to book tickets for things and check dates, and be more pro-active! We have abandoned the theatre shamefully in the last few months.
6. I think I might stop off at Dorothy Perkins on the way home and get the dark blue version of my grey jumper, as it is the precise shade of the blue in my swishy chintzy skirt, and the jumper season is once more upon us. More or less.
7. I had an unfortunate baking experience last night, when my lemon cake stubbornly refused to actually *cook*. It just sat there, for about an hour, looking pallid and discontented. Eventually it went a bit brown, and when I stuck a finger in it bounced back (rather than making a giant hole, as happened with my chocolate cake at the weekend), so I whipped it out and shoved the garlic bread in (bastard lemon cake completely upset my timing for dinner, so we missed MtW and instead watched the last two ever episodes of Drive, and rah at fucking Fox who cancel programmes after about three seconds the *bastards*). But the lemon cake looks a bit weird and not at all promising. Will test tonight. Not optimistic.
Ooh, and it is the Gather this weekend, is it not? I hope everyone going has a smashing time!
