I have manged to lose the original copy of the Hundred Years book.
I misplace things regulalry - like, every day!!! - but seldom do things actually disappear.
This evening I had the recycling bin contents out all over the lawn. I know I had the book within the last two weeks. Buut it wasn't there. I have promised it back to the original donor, and in fact I have never actually lost anything before.
It's really beginning to frustrate and annoy me somewhat.

People keep asking me about the change of Prime Minister, and what a shame it is for "Timmy" being knocked out of Wimbledon.
Was he? Surely he wouldn't have lost if he was as good as you say? When did he last win it? Oh - he never has??
So he's not really THAT good then...
etc

Cyncical? Surely, I'm just realistic.
There's a major difference between how 'good' something is and the profile it receives.
Its called marketing.
Usually I think one is in fact inversely proportional to the other.

I am so adrift from current affairs. But really things like that seem so uninteresting, uninspiring, and so often irrelevant.
Shamefully though, I genuinely don't know what people are talking about when they mention more or less any 'celebrity' or TV programme, or politician.
D was today rather pleased to see John Denholm (or somebody?) back in the cabinet.
I haven't the first clue who he is, or why that matters.

Not sur eif I'm proud of this, or embarrassed by it.
Football. That's the one with the ROUND ball isn't it? No bats.

I think the current affairs thing is a little embarrassing sometimes, but the celebrity thing certainly is not.
The couple who live next door to me cried, rowed and went into unfathomable despair for days when Saints failed to win promotion to the Premiership. Now I like them, and we get on well enough (though it is true that we seldom meet) but this kind of behaviour (which goes on all around me all the time among many other people) is reallyhard for me to understand.
Is it really the case that people's state of emotional well-being depends on the success of others?
Are their lives really so devoid of personal satisfaction and achievement that they live these feelings through some other person or body?

Hence the popularity of TV soaps I suppose. Biscuit's the psychologist, we must chat

Nice link.
I spoke to her this morning, as she was busy preparing for her D of E course in the Forest that starts tonight.
But its gone a bit pear-shaped with her boyfriend's house moving. Actually, I suspect it hasn't and she 'misled' me with the original plan. He moves out of Uni Halls on Saturday, and was due to move into the shared house on Sunday - July 1. But now he can't move in until Tuesday, July 3.
So guess where they want to stay for those two nights in between...?
And guess where all his stuff is being stored...?

I'm due to pick them up on Sunday after the course, but we have a Big Reunion weekend at church, so they may have to wait unti mid afternoon. That won't go down well.
hey ho
