1. I did some work today, which one can see as a good thing. I'd intended to do more (and I really could have done with having more self-restraint and getting it all done..) but alas I guess I can convince myself that the rest and relaxation was pretty important and necessary too. Batteries need recharging n'that.

2. Easy wins for Man United against Man City (2-0) and Chelsea at Arsenal (4-1), as well as Shrewsbury on penalties after a 1-0 win against Bury - going through to meet Gillingham (who beat Rochdale) in the play-off final.

3. This evening I watched another of James May's pleasant little nostalgic documentaries - this time about girls (i.e. his sisters) toys. Quite entertaining in a benign Sunday evening stylee.

4. Likewise, saw a prog t'other night where Richard Wilson was driving from Scarbrough to Whitby, via a load of nice Yorkshire countryside. I missed some of it 'cause I went for a big dump, and I might have fell asleep on my bed twards the end, but.. it's sorta rekindled my desire to see the countryside next time I'm back in my birth county.

5. The people of Dubai do not find The Flintstones funny, but the people of Abu Dhabi do.(shamefully stolen from b3ta.com)

6. Now.. what parts do I remember playing in school productions? I was never extroverted enough in that way (not gay) to actually be theatrical in big school, but took part in quite a few Christmas plays at junior school. I was Santa Claus one year, a robot-dancing Egyptian mummy another year, a Charleston flapper once, and also played a Hawaiian dancer.

7. When I went downstairs this morning to put some laundry on and make a cup of coffee, there were passive aggressive notices all over the kitchen, blethering about cleaning and stuff. It would have really pissed me off, but.. I just tidied up a bit and left the fuckers to it. I might go make myself a cup of tea now though, come to think of it.

8. Does the fact that I have been enjoying tea more and more this past couple of years mean I am getting old? It's just funny that I never used to like the stuff, and now I really enjoy one in a different way to the way I love a coffee..

9. Gold lion's gonna tell me where the light is. It's pretty obvious actually - I can clearly ascertain the position of the lamp by the fact there are photons eminating from it. I don't need no precious metal pussy to help me.

10. I suppose I should iron some shirts. Maybe I'll not bother - could always do that another evening, as I've got one for tomorrow. In fact I've got shirts left till last me till Thursday, but.. um.. we'll see.

LISTENING TO:- Because of one of the tunes she did on Jools Holland t'other day having stuck in my head, 'Love Story' by Taylor Swift.
