The fun and exciting thing I did today was to go to the garden centre with my mother and wander around swamped in her leather jacket because it was cold.
Also went to the bookshop and got Bog Child by Siobhan Dowd. She's an Irish author who died not so long ago. I'll probably be sad reading it, because anytime I read any book, no matter whether I like it or not, I think about how proud and happy the author must be to have their creation published. And I was reading the start of Bog Child and thinking on how it compared to her only other novel, and wondering how her style would evolve...but it won't :(
OMG Doctor Who. What a brilliant episode, the strongest of the series yet. I love the Ood. I want to cuddle them.
As my mother and I were driving past Sinead's granny's house today, there was a fire truck outside it. I immediately feared the worst, but the firemen were just sitting on the garden wall drinking tea. Sinead's mother came over to us with a teapot in her hand and said there had been a chimney fire.
ROFL. About ten firemen just for a chimney fire. That's probably our town's entire fire force. Maybe they don't seen a lot of action and went along for the craic.
books,
