If I were a vegetable...

I'd be a pickled onion.

In which things continue to stay the same

I'm reading, drinking tea and eating a piece of toast with strawberry jam.

Of course, I've managed to spill jam all over my mouse.

Why can't I be graceful? The nursery rhyme said I would be: "Tuesday's child is full of grace." Such crap.

When I die and return to this earth as a new version of myself, I want to be graceful. Graceful. Elegant. Chic. Not constantly jammy.

Some things don't change

I've just been perusing the internets for a likely-looking Star Trek convention to go to. Sigh.

Small things amuse small minds

I just watched an enormously pregnant cat scaling the wooden fence to get into next door's yard. I found it hugely amusing. But it's been a long day.

Catch up

Ack! So much happening, not enough posting. Um, I got my contract at University extended and I'm thrilled. I went to the New Forest. I've now been in The Hellmouth for a year. My car needs to be MOTed next week and I'm hoping it won't cost a bomb to do. I'm going to Lugano, Aberdeen, Amsterdam and New York. The Nephew will be 4 soon. I've not been to any movies because they're all shit. I've read about 10 books in the last month. I'm glad the world cup finally ended, but I really want a Fick Fufa tshirt. And we had a month of sunshine. It's bucketing now though.

We made it! A lovely 5km walk along the River Ouzel in Leighton Buzzard. We even got fancy medals.

Content

I've just finished Nora Roberts' new book, and now I'm listening to Vampire Weekend and reorganising my bookshelves.

I'm feeling quite content, strangely so.
