Vampires And Stuff.
Hello,
.
Today we have what looks like a most beautiful morning, with a pale blue sky and sunshine.
It is however, icy cold, and dashing out to get a morning paper in just a thin T shirt was a very bad idea.
.
I have just fed the birds with some boiled rice which was left over from last night, along with a big slice of bread.
As usual they were all waiting, huddled up and very grumpy-seeming in the bare tree.
.
I am really feeling responsible for them nowadays.
I used to feel guilty if I forgot to feed them but now I feel that way even if I am just a bit late doing it in the morning.
How daft is that!
I mean, I have been to restaurants where we have given our order and been kept waiting for hours….and they could not care less….and we have had to pay for the privilege.
They never felt in the least bit guilty.
.
I did go down to the Library yesterday and got out a shedload of books.
There is not always a great deal of choice in the selection as it is a small place.
It is fine if you want to read Barbara Cartland type romances, or learn to cross-stitch, ice cakes or arrange flowers beautifully
.
The good thing about it is that through sheer force of circumstance you can discover a new writer that you would not normally try
.
At the moment I have begun a novel about Vampires, as that seems to be a very popular genre at the moment.
As usual the Vampire hero is incredibly tall, dark and handsome, with very long black shining hair….excellent….stereotypical but appealing, which is why it works on us women so well!
.
It makes you wonder though.
What would you do if you met a beautiful, mesmerising man and fell deeply in love ( in my case, of course, I would definitely want the waist length gleaming hair, as long hair is a real weakness of mine. (See Long Haired King.)
Then he told you what he truly was and asked you to to become the same, in order to be with him forever.
What would you choose to do.
Give him up and live a ‘normal’ life, or go for broke.
.
Hmmm!
.
We do not have much planned for today as we are waiting for a delivery this morning.
What amazes me about a lot of deliveries in the UK is that they absolutely refuse to give you any idea of the time the bloody thing will take place.
It is infuriating that you are told that it will be between 7am and 7pm, as if you have nothing else to do but sit waiting for a knock on the front door.
.
I always say that they must have some idea when it will be, because they must be beginning in one particular place and then working their way around on a planned route but apparently this is far too restrictive.
It would seem that their deliverymen are creatures of impulse and flit about at random wasting both time and petrol.
.
It is both ridiculous and extremely annoying because you know for sure that the moment you give in to the need to go for a poo, there will be a knock on the door in the middle of it.
Don’t you just hate it when that happens.
If you do not answer in time and they leave, then you have to pay for yet another delivery, which will take up another whole day.
.
If you are the sort of person who needs frequent big poos then you will end up with …no job because you have been sacked for taking too much time off….no money because you have paid for so many repeat deliveries….no goods which you have already paid for….but you will have extremely healthy bowels….and no possibility of suffering from constipation!
.
Do Vampires go to the loo or do they just absorb blood!
They are supernatural creatures aren’t they!
.
Hmmmm>
.
If and when our delivery takes place we shall wrap up very well and go for a walk in the sunshine.
.
And tonight we shall have a takeaway.
We like Chinese and Singapore Noodles is a big favourite, with plenty of green chillies in it.
.
Excellent stuff.
.
I hope that you enjoy a fine Friday containing a goodly amount of whatever it is that makes your day.
.
LOL
Jaksie.
