I WOKE THIS MORNING FROM A DREAM INVOLVING LOTS OF COMPLICATED ARCHITECTURE (I very often dream of buildings, I don't know why) and a drugs deal that left me with all the money in my pocket that I would have spent, plus all the drugs because the dealer gave them away free (only in a dream!) Then I woke up in a forlorn mood and close to tears because Daniel Day Lewis's mother was on Desert Island Discs reminiscing about World War II and I don't know it somehow crisscrossed in with my low mood. Then I tried to do various things involving a spot of tidying up etc and gave up exhausted, then realized I really was still depressed. Eventually two and a half hours later I plucked up the energy to go to Mother Hubbard's house where I cheered up (or to put it another way my inner feelings were masked) by lots of other people plus her glowing bright television. I don't have TV any more as I decided it was the devil's work some time ago...
I did however encounter a picture of Baby Itchy Roborovski in the Sunday People which made me perk up.
Only two apartments were available in Ontario Tower from the first website I called up. A one-bed on the 3rd floor and a studio on the 19th. I would so much rather live 19 floors up! Facing the bright lights of Canada Square... wow. You can actually see the Sunday People newspaper offices from there. They are about half way up the "Canary Wharf Tower" (proper address: 1 Canada Square).
Well I had better ping. Time is low as always.
Song of the day: A-ha The Sun Always Shines on TV
OK it was a Porkshire Terrier but they look practically the same when Itchy has wet fur...
ReplyDeleteThe Sun Always Shines On TV. An interesting music-video.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see Baby Itchy is getting out and about and being seen about town;)
ReplyDelete....sometimes we need those down days to take stock and appreciate our sunnier days more.
Make sure you do something creative with your time away from the computer this week *!*
You're not missing anything not having a television - except the rugby.
ReplyDeleteDon't discard the trip to Spain even if it doesn't seem relevant. Keep it and decide when you've finished what will go in and what won't. Or how much of each episode needs to be in the final book. And don't ever throw it away completely because it could be the base for something entirely different.
Oh look the sun's coming out! I hope it's shining on you too and helping lift the depression. I'd send you one of my happy pills if I didn't need them myself.
And you never displayed the award I gave you! I can't remember what it was now.
ReplyDeleteBrother Dave: - a-ha!!
ReplyDeleteBimbimbie: Itchy got pissed on yesterday and reeks of it. It's because they're sleeping in their wheel they get wee all over them ukk!
Liz: almost definitely the reason I never displayed the award was because I couldn't get the image on my blog. Unless I could just drop it in as html I'd have no idea how to transfer it... sorry ... and the dolts who run this cafe wouldn't piss on me if I was burning, let alone tell me how to operate these damn machines...
I was also in no mood on Sunday. Even though we got a lot of things done (in regards to our move to Australia), all I wanted to do was lie on the couch and watch TV and dream the afternoon away, but fat chance.
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better, Gled. Autumn's sort of a gray, introspective time, innit?
ReplyDeleteBTW, if you want to put a loc beside my link- "No Fixed Address" would be more appropriate than "USA" (Although I spend a lot of time in America, I'm not American...)
I heard people dreams about things that bothers them during the day.
ReplyDeleteWhitenoise: a-ha!
ReplyDeleteRopinator: hmmm: and I'm bothered in the day by my dreams!!
I vote for the 19th floor, too.
ReplyDeleteActually I just found out there's a "far taller" tower planned for next door. As long as that has a swimming pool and room service, I think I'll go for the Penthouse Sweet atop that!!
