blackberry444I had a rotten night last night for some reason. I spent most of it asleep, but it was one of those times when it seems to take more energy to stay asleep than to stay awake. In addition, which didn't help, I had an attack of the Megafarts all night following some home-made lentil soup and my back was killing me, just by way of a change from my knee. I woke up feeling as though I'd been cycling uphill all night!
Consequently I've been half asleep all day. I've done nothing except read, doze, mess about on the Internet and watch day-time TV. I've been soooo bored! But there again, soo exhausted. I couldn't even be bothered to cook dinner this evening so undid all my week's economies by having a chip-shop kebab.
The only consolation to a gloomy, boring day was Ugly Betty this evening. Ugly Betty is my secret vice!
I shall have to pull up my socks tomorrow, though, because I have to shop for the weekend as I'm lending Lucy to John so that he can take David on a trip to the Birmingham Tattoo and the National Motorcycle Museum. David's not really well enough at the moment to drive his own car all the way there and back, and in any case, now that they only have one car, it makes life difficult for Alison if he takes it away for a couple of days, so to save him having to travel in John's van, which I find excruciating for a long journey, (and he is a lot taller and bigger than me), I've donated Lucy for the weekend. I hate driving the van so I shall try to get everything I need tomorrow. That would be OK if I could get Charles to be remotely interested in what he might like to eat over the weekend!
I see that I shall have to get cat-food again! My God, those three eat such a lot!
Yesterday I managed to track down the card I need for my digital camera on eBay. I'm supposed to be economising, but I bought it anyway, because there were only two in stock and I've already had a previous order cancelled by Amazon because the cards were out of stock. It seems that digital camera technology has moved on so fast in the four years I've had the camera that it's practically obsolete and can't take anything bigger than a 512.k card. It's been very difficult to find a 512k card, as most of them are several Mb nowadays. The card was only £21 or so, but I feel really guilty! I just hope it results in the increased speed that people have suggested it will.
I shall have to re-read the bumph I got with my Blue Badge, because I was hoping to go to the Lit & Phil's book sale on Saturday, but I need to be able to park not far away and I have a feeling the Badge is not only limited to me, but also to the car I usually drive. If I have to get a taxi there and back it rather ruins buying economical Christmas presents. I got some really good presents there last year!
Never mind! We're all going to Barter Books in a couple of weeks anyway.
