I only wish there was something as exciting to look forwards to.
I'm assigning the vague sense of boredom that sets in when TV ads are pushing 'excitement' down your neck when there's no excitement to be had at a very boring time of year. I've already exhausted the traditional possibilities: repaired car, done the garden, done painting, housework, been to B&Q...There's no way I'm venturing anywhere near the cinema or the Peaks this weekend judging by the slavering hordes I've already had the misfortune to encounter. Nowt on t'internet, nowt on TV. I'm now resorting to watching Countdown and seeing if I can make rude words up from the letters Carol puts on the board. I begin to understand why Christmas haters moan so much. I think I will retire to a deckchair in the garden and fill my face with bacon butties and mugs of strong tea to counteract all the chocolate and sugar, before having a nice nap...no doubt to be rudely awoken by someone having a stinking barbecue. It's a poor do when you're excited by the prospect of cooking a roast dinner in three days' time. Moan moan moan...
