I always like to make a blog post in the middle of the day.
It sort of... rounds off lunchtime.
Today, however, my brain is a bit scrambled. Had a difficult
morning – discussing car problems with the mechanic (he says it’s fixed again –
for the fifth time!) keeping the breakdown insurers onside (’cos they’re a bit
funny about covering temporary vehicles,) sorting out an account query
(unsuccessfully,) going out in the rain frequently to drain the bird table
which keeps flooding, being irritated by damn fool junk calls, wondering what
on earth is going on with the Woman in America, and all the time being driven
half insane by the almost constant barking, whining and howling of the dogs
next door.
It’s getting to the point where I’ll need to talk to my
neighbour about the dogs. I don’t want to because she’s had a tough year with
two major bereavements and an enforced house move. Besides, I like dogs. I like
her dogs. But how long do I go on
having my concentration constantly thrown into disarray by the racket? It
really is getting to me. Five minutes peace and then it starts again. We’ll
see.
And on top of everything, I just missed Sarah, dammit. I was
pulling the emptied wheelie bins back into position and she drove past, just
when I was out of sight. I would have waved. Imagine that! The thrill of waving
to Sarah. Christmas comes early. Mmm...
So, one way and another, that’s where I’m at right now. This
will have to suffice for the midday
post. Maybe a bit of bounce will return later, and further posts will go boing in a jolly way.
