Five Past Eight In The Evening
Returned from The Match (hugely disappointing 0-2 defeat to the 'ammers in
front of 30003 fans) with The Rose late Saturday afternoon to find The House
suddenly devoid of festive bling: lights extinguished, tree felled and the door
bereft of a wreath. Wifey, if asked to express a preference, likes the decs not
to outstay their welcome.
All is quiet on New Year's Day
— U2 (been a while since they appeared here)
Invigorated, revitalised and motivated by the year they're calling 2005, there occurred a maelstrom of activity over the w/e as things were tidied away, other things (inc. the Nordman) were recycled, and still other things were lined up to be returned to their rightful owners, such things comprising CDs, tupperware, videos, lasagne, kid's medicine and a DVD of Shaun Of The Dead.
So, NY, new resolutions, no order:
- make a Baked Alaska
- locate trumpet, clean it, then play a scale on it
- attach bike carrier to car (don't ask)
- visit Brighton
- memorise an Animaniacs song: Presidents, countries or US states
- redo this website using table-less HTML
- give up coffee for one day: prompted by me leaving my newly dishwasher-ed Billy Nomates mini Bodum at home, managed this today and with a clear head too
- arrange and play 5-a-side footy match
- read Moby Dick or Don Quixote or both
- deal with paperwork in the This Week folder That Week
- sell toys or donate to charity and generally tidy loft
- get a letter published in The Guardian
- watch classic films The Leopard, Rashomon and Bicycle Thieves
- stay in Freston Tower
- bike to work for a solid fortnight in the summer
- go running with wifey just the once
- locate unicycle, pump tyre, then practice on it
We shall see.
Be seeing you!
