one line

saturday teatime. im boiling rice and griddling peppers to make something suprising and scrumptious, that will also involve a corn fed, dead chicken's breast.
today has been a wonderful day weatherwise, though i did sort of miss half of it by sleeping late. that could be partly to do with the fact that i was up until 04:00 this morning. i'd been over to debbies until about 01:00, and then when i got in i started messing around looking for fireplace things online and checking my ebay and stuff, and then suddenly it was 04:00.. anyway i had a lovely nights sleep and , the lie in was also a treat.

ive been playing with art-rage this afternoon. trying to do drawings with just one line. i did loads of them, here are a couple. i found it really satisfying, its kind of like automatic writing as i dont know whats going to appear on
the "page" until i starting waving my wand around ( btw i cant make that irritating gap in the text go away)

after all my doodling , sue came over and took me in the car to go and buy logs , coal and kindling. im all stocked up for the autumn now and i feel like a squirrel. ive cleared out a cupboard thats next to my fireplace and its now full of logs and a treat to behold when i open the door.. prior to this it had a mop in it and some old roller blinds, so its a lot better.
im listening to bowie's heathen at the minute. i havent heard it for ages. and forgot just how good it really is, paticularly the title track which really sounds like nothing else.. that was the last of his albums that i bought.. maybe i should buy the other two that have been released since.
anyrerd.. off to check on my griddles

omg its 02:15

its thursday and i hate this typeface, but , despite that im quite perky.. ive been out to the pub tonight with sue which was pleasant ... though it seems thursday, is a night when all the gangs of scary blokes ,with no coats ,and horrible shirts decide to congregate in the bars that are normally peaceful.

i found it all a bit intimidating and uncomfortable, but we did finally go to pave which plays jazz music very loudly. this obviously keep the dickheads away, a-la garlic/ vampires

anyway we left at last orders and sue went home, and ive been online ever since. ive still been obsessively checking my ebay , theres not been so much activity of late, im hoping it will all kick off over the weekend. and other than that ive had a nice chat with my online friend michael who is thinking of leaving brighton and moving to liverpool. thats a big decision to make as i imagine they're worlds apart.. but im sure liverpool is great. in fact i know people who live there and love it.

anyroad.. im off to bed

wednesday is my thursday

its wednesday. normally the middle of the working week, but seeing as how im off work on friday, wednesday is indeed, my thursday.

work was completely uneventful today. i was sitting in a seat of low visibilty , so at least when it was quiet i could obsessively press f5 over and over again to refresh my ebay sellers page. im selling three things, my ipod touch, my nokia n95 , and most excitingly my signed "hate" print by d*face. the print is currently up to £186 and the auction doesnt finish until sunday.. im thinking maybe about £400 which would be nice. i bought it about two years ago when i realised the the banksy prints i nearly bought about a year earlier than that for just £100 each were starting to go for literally thousands.. i whipped my sister sue into a low budget art investment frenzy,and we combined funds to to buy this d*face print...the reason i'm selling it now is sue and i have booked a long autumnal weekend away in the lake district , and the plan is we'll make enough money to cover the cost of that...

OMG my life is like aliving version of daytime t.v's "cash in the attic" thats the kind of thing they raise money for on there.. what has my life become....??

i can't stop eating tonight.. ive been been scoffing bread and salty butter with tons of marmite on top.. its been very satisfying and i keep popping through for another slice, very much like someone in valley of the dolls would pop through for another doll.. im considering making a bowl of popcorn. though last time i made some i put about four corn kernels in the pan and then when they had popped i suddenly had enough popcorn to fill about 7 large washing up bowls.. and my lips got sore from all the salt.

im writing this in pretty much the same position i was in last night, though tonight , now the evening chill has engulfed me , im wrapped in a furry nu-nu , shawl style.. its very cosy and im too lazy to start raking out the fireplace to light it for just a couple of hours on my own.. ive got a cup of steaming peppermint tea with a slice of fresh lemon and cinnamon sticks, though without the fresh lemon and cinnamon sticks .. but whatever.its very nice and warming..

im trying my hardest to embrace the world of autumn :-)

illuminated by the lamp from argos

im sitting , no lounging, stretched out on mia, my cat's sofa, leaning against some plump cushions and able to see my keyboard because of my wonderful lamp that i bought the day i started this blog.. its great. im enjoying using my laptop in these new cosy conditions, though it does appear to be heating up my lap a little too much... maybe i should get one of said pump cushions and use it like a sickly breakfast tray with fold out legs...then my lap would be protected from the overwhelming heat.

work today was one of those days that just drifts by, but i was glad leave when the working day ended. on my way home i popped into the co-op up the road and nearly collapsed when i noticed piles of christmas selection boxes.. its only bastard september.. maybe i should get with it early this year and put my tree up now.

this evening i beauty bathed in an extra deep, extra hot bath.. it was almost up to my eyelids.. my reason for this wasnt just a wasteful disregard of the need to preserve water , or save on gas... it was actually because i seem to have done something to my shoulder.. its really hurting at the moment , every keystroke is AGONY... but the bath seemed to soothe it slightly, for the duration of being submerged at least.

after the bath i chatted on the phone to debbie, who was sewing on a sewing machine as she spoke to me. then i spoke to martyn who i'm pleased to say was sounding quite perky. and now im drinking my last cup of peppermint tea before i go to bed.. i didnt realise how late it was ..
