(no subject)
Read a very good book yesterday. It's called The Eyre Affair and it's by a man called Jasper Fforde. It's beautifully written, and so exciting. It has a romantic subplot, but that's ok, because it's set in an alternate universe, where Dodos are kept as pets, the Crimean War still rages between Britain and Russia, time travel is possible and to get from place to place most people tend to use zeppelins. I couldn't actually put it down, to the extent that I ended up making dinner last night with one hand. I think one of my favourite parts was the discussion running through the book about who wrote William Shakespeare's plays. There are several different theories put forward throughout the book, but the final result is possibly the best result there could be! I can't say anything more about how good this book is, because I'll spoil the plot. So I'll end with... Read it!
Other than my wanderings into literature, nothing much has been happening. Himself's back is no better, so I've been doing lots, like cooking, and cleaning and the like. The garden is still bothering me, since despite our being in a drought situation in London (apparently) it is looking more and more like a big green thing that wants to eat the house. Oh, and part of the front of our house fell off yesterday - we had the house painted a while ago (I was twelve or thirteen) with Lifecoat, that's supposed to last about 15 years, however the company have since gone out of business (can you say SCAM!!?!?) and therefore they won't be able to come back and sort it out, and I have no idea what to do about that... Any ideas?
Other than that, I'm planning on doing some baking within the next week, mainly because we have eggs that need using (because I bought them last Thursday!), so I shall attempt to make cake, or something. Not sure what (Ideas please!), maybe just gingerbread again, or something chocolatey, although I don't want to have to buy too many more ingredients. We're having pizza for dinner tonight, so I don't have to do much, which is actually a good thing, when you consider everything I've spent my day doing.
I've been a bit down recently, mainly because I'm lonely. It's been so long since I had someone to sleep next to, who would actually give me a hug when I want one. 'Course, I could get a hug from the father - but... not the same. I'm not holding my loneliness against my friends, because they're out and doing things, and if I were out and doing things then I'd probably have other friends, and I'd probably not be lonely, so it is my fault. Anyway. Um... I'll go now because I'm just going to ramble on about why I'm not out and doing things...
TTFN!
