Better
Back to work, still on small dose anti-psychotics and therefore eating everything in sight. Chocolate preferred but in this heat it tends to be over sticky. Just finished a pound of grapes in an hour and feeling slightly nauseous.
Things generally well. Son has gone off to stay with grandparents and continue the construction of the pond that was started last year. He is returning by train (adventure) from Southampton on Friday so that we can attend Continuum on Sat/Sun. I was muttering about that being overpriced but having just seen the schedule there certainly seems a fair amount for your money. Can't resist the idea of flatland the rpg but other than that no firm plans as yet. Son is going to dive into the RPGs and probably have to be dragged out on Sunday evening kicking and screaming.
Failing to buy a kayak at the moment- ebay auction collapsed at the last minute, and haven't time to go and pick up another one before holiday. Appropriate boats (for Beloved anyway) seem to come up every week or so- he wants a touring boat suitable for calm sea so we can take it to Scillies. I want a fast pointy thing that takes conscious effort not to tip over. We are buying his first then waiting for something for me to come up at some point.
Lots of money spent- new futon sofabed for lounge being picked up on Friday. Son is moving into larger room (he claims his bed is too small) so we have lost guest room, so guests may now have to share sofa bed downstairs with cats, although Son has promised to move back as necessary. Fluffy fell into the canal recently- we could tell by the smell- but has cleaned himself up eventually. Canal is off limits at present (not that cats care) as full of blue green algae which is apparently rather toxic and irritating. Canoe club cancelled for the duration, not that I have a Saturday afternoon free anyway.
Played Advanced Civilisation last week. Got halfway through a game (6 hrs). It is fun, but I'm not sure that I will ever finish a game. Talking of long, bought the expansion set for Roads& Boats- lots of new options (not all at once) including aeroplanes, bombs and art expeditions. Now plays 6 (hollow laugh) .
Tomorrow day off, playing badminton at midday but otherwise unallocated- better do some maths I suppose. And start packing- will all stuff for camping fit in three rucksacks? As time goes on I am starting to hope that we get good weather!
Haven't paid much attention to the world recently. Although, tragic as it is, I couldn't help remarking on the wonderful phrase "Co Durham inflatable artwork tragedy".
