Monday 26th October - super caffeinated

 The only clock I can see from where I sit eating my breakfast and catching up on the news, thinking through the day ahead, etc, hadn't been changed yet - it's the one high up on a shelf.

So when I saw it said 10 am I decided it was time for the second coffee of the morning. BB raised an eyebrow and commented it was a bit early, but I pointed out it was already 10, so he obliged. Of course, it was only 9 am. That clock has now been altered!

 (I wish I could raise just one eyebrow.)


 So I have paid a humungous invoice for the no-longer-leaking roof, drawn and written the 20-minute journal above, read through blogs, skimmed the news, assisted in the eviction of a monstrous spider from the kitchen sink, made the plasterer a cup of tea, and quite soon I will be in need of a little lie down in a darkened room...

.....

Flash mob in a school cafeteria - how I wish something like this had happened when I was at University, but I don't think flash mobs were even thought of then.

  2. It would be lovely to see a flash mob somewhere but not likely to happen in rural Suffolk.
    Your list is looking very organised

    1. I think they would run away if they could, but can't climb out so have to sit and wait.

    I love the girl with the backpack doing an impromtu dance to the flash mob. Is she one of the mob or just swept up in the moment?

    1. I don't know, but she is great! Perhaps she studies dance?
