Couldn’t Sleep Again.
Hi,
.
Could not sleep again last night.
I woke up in the early hours and lay there warm and snug for a while but eventually I decided to get up.
.
Last night we had a Chinese ….and then beers and treats with a film called Transporter 2.
It seems like a good film with lots of shooting and action, at least Big H was loving it, but I got bored because we had seen it before some time ago.
In actual fact films like that look and sound a lot like his computer games, so it is not surprising that he really enjoys them so much.
.
Anyway, I eventually left him to it and went to bed to read another library book.
I finished the Vampire one and thoroughly enjoyed it although it was a bit bodice-rippery….however it was extremely well done for once….and I would definately have run away with that particular Carpathian vampire killer.
He was also hundreds of years old and drank blood and all of the usual vampirey things but he was a protector of mankind and killed evil vampires.
A new twist to an old story.
Hokey but a passable way to spend time.
Lots of sex too.
I do not ask a lot of the novels I read because I just want to be entertained and surprised if possible, being educated is quite another thing!
It was called Dark Destiny, A Carpathian Novel, by Christine Feehan….and why not!
.
I used to spend a great deal of time reading non fiction but now I find that the web provides me with most of what I need, instantly and brilliantly, what with google earth etc.
.
I seriously wish that all of the housebound old people were able to use a computer and have access to it’s magic.
Instead of just sitting there farting, and mouldering away, they could reach out all over the world and be stimulated.
There are friends that they could make, things they could experience and other old people that they could meet on dating sites.
.
Imagine the old people in homes, sitting there with computers, enjoying themselves.
What a fine alternative to being bored to death, smelling the boiled cabbage and disinfectant.
.
What a depressing bloody picture it is!
What point is there in making people live longer and longer if nobody does anything to improve the care and conditions of the resulting aged population.
.
It is very pleasant sitting here blogging, with the rain pattering on the windows and just the swish of an occasional car going by.
Time always seems to be somehow stretched out in the night….as if it is slightly different somehow.
.
We have now got everything cleaned up and tidied and we are back in the proper, newly painted, living room.
It is so much warmer and more comfortable than being stuck up in a bedroom for weeks on end.
It is extremely enjoyable to have things back to normal.
Eventually, I will forget and take it for granted again, but for now I see it all with new and appreciative eyes.
.
Later on I shall feed the birds their breakfast.
It is going to be leftover prawn crackers from the Chinese, so they will be very pleased with that and I shall have the fun of watching them flying off with the huge things.
.
Yesterday I thought that I saw the lonely dove with a partner again.
Perhaps the other one was somehow hurt or ill and is now recovered….or perhaps it is a new friend.
I may have been mistaken but I definitely have my fingers crossed for the poor thing because it has been looking so sad and lonely for days now.
.
I have just remembered that it is Saturday….is it?….or not?
.
Yes it is, I have just checked, so I shall be talking to you again this evening because it is X Factor tonight.
Very exciting now because it will soon be the final.
.
And then it will be all over.
Oh Dear!
