Shortly

I've just noticed that the 'hits' on my blog have just exceeded 40,000. Wow, that's quite a lot in just under two years.
And now to minor matters. I've finally bucked my ideas up, and am just about to set off for the shopping precinct. At least it'll soon be over and done with, and I'll have the wherewithals to make a decent meal.

Pearls of wisdom

Yes. This is how they did it in the Bronze Age.

This morning

The weather has been quite nasty since Saturday afternoon, very overcast with episodes of rain and gusty winds. The quality of daylight is atrocious this morning, and there has been intermittent rain.
After the fags and coffee I went to another 'initial' assessment for more counselling. My mood has deteriorated since the last sessions finished, and they will try and sort me out quickly. Later on I'm determined to go to the big supermarket in the shopping precinct. I have run out of some Indian stuff, and it's stupidly dear in the place round the corner. In the meanwhile here I am at the library as usual.

Sleep

I forgot to mention that my nephew called me while I was getting ready for the pub. I had a lovely natter with both him and his girlfriend. It always makes me feel nice when we speak.
I turned in to some symphonies by Boccherini. Lovely. I am always impressed by his use of texture and motif rather than melody. I was asleep in a very short time. I don't remember waking up during the night but my bed was in quite a state when I came round at six. I'm still feeling very tired.

Yesterday

I didn't enjoy yesterday. Having woken up at 4am, having fags and coffee and then trying to sleep again, I was worn out by the time I went to the historic building. That was quite soul-destroying in terms of the visitors who came in. Afterwards I went back to bed and still didn't manage to sleep, so I was just as tired when I went to the pub. There were different staff on duty and all the people were unknown to me. They asked me to play classical, so it was mostly Mozart and a bit of Beethoven. That went down quite well. I nattered very briefly with a couple and was back home by ten. When I got in I had a bit of supper and watched some Laurel and Hardy films.

The rest of today

I had originally planned to go to the big supermarket in the shopping precinct, but the weather has made me change my mind. Instead I'll get a couple of bits from the local supermarket and then take myself straight home. I'm going to make another one of my nice curries, and settle down to some dvds afterwards. Ain't I exciting!

The weather

The beautiful weather we had this morning was not to last. It has got colder and colder and darker and darker all afternoon. Some evil weather is apparently due to reach us very shortly, which is expected to be with us all day tomorrow. Moving my keyboard from place to place isn't going to be a bed of roses.
