Just thought of a snappy title for a book if there are any budding 'History of Mime' writers out there. Alternatively you could right about crime, lime, grime, etc etc with the same effect.
Friday has been brillig and i must not gyre or gimble too long for i am hungry and the food is downstairs (hope all those jabberwocky fans are happy). I went into town today, in the sun, which was amazing. I guess sunshine makes you appreciate the world. Though i must confess myself to be a big fan of rain too. There's something amazing about the sound, sight and feel of rain-only heavy rain mind, none of this rubbish english drizzle
I watched 'The Island' this evening. If you haven't seen it: i wouldn't bother. With the technological status of a plough and the intruige of an empty museum, its only redeeming factor is its cheap action sequencing and sexual interest. I mean any film with Scarlett Johansen is sure to draw some crowds, however the plot is poor, the chase scenes are old, and the ideas are stolen. That said...if you want a half entertaining film, just to watch, i would actually recommend it!
Tomorrow i plan to have an early start and be busy all day!

3 pints of beer or a pair of almost new trousers??
Yes i know i am a cheapskate but today i bought a pair of trousers (jeans) from a charity shop for £6. How amazing is that. i think we should all go to charity shops more often...buy with a conscience at the same time! By the way of course it would be the latter anyway because i am not drinking until the end of lent. Katherine came round after her work this morning just as i was waking up at 9.20. Katherine and i then went into town (shopping) where i got my jeans suprisingly...then Katherine and i were invited to lunch by the youthworker of our old church. So that was all good and i got a nice lunch (i get bored of making sandwiches) and then Katherine went off to work again at 3 and i returned to do some work and guide Man Utd even closer to the title on CM. So all in all it has beeen a reasonably exciting day-though not overstrenuous.
Have you ever wondered who invented the Ear? well wonder no more, it was the russian scientist Kolon, who also invented the sewing machine and hydrogen before the ear. His name was also used to describe punctuation and a part of the digestive system. Quite a remarkable guy-if you dont believe me, jus check wikopedia!
Thought for the Day: What if your eyes are on the back of your head and you were just assembled back to front?

There is no need to adjust your clocks
Do not fear, your clocks are not wrong, i have posted before 11pm. Actually as an aside, your clocks may be wrong. Firstly the batteries may have gone or something, or as i found out, along with emma, it may be that the blog has not updated your clock. I found it easiest just to pretend i was african, and now the time is right! yippee!
Today is to be named cooking day, or maybe baking day-in recognition of the fact that i will have baked twice in one day. That is quite a rareity for me you must understand. First i have made mince pies this afternoon, and then i am making a pud of some sort tonight. The mince pies turned out great...if you like bottomless mince pies. Most of them are alright, but in about half of them, i put slightly too much mincemeat in and they leaked down the sides and stuck to the tray, so only the tops came out afterwards. O dear oh dear-just was well Oli and Taj don't read this blog! In all fairness i can cook very well-im not quite as good with the baking side, but even so im not bad.
I have resigned myself to unemployment for four weeks now. Wahoooo! But oh no-no money.
Well my little minions, that is about all for today, so i leave you with words by W H Auden, as a lament to the Earth?!?
Thought for the Day: Sob heavy world, sob as you spin, mantled in mist, remote from the happy

Boredom sets in
Right...half an hour left, so id better write todays blog.
Today i got up nice and early so that i would be awake when waitrose calles to tell me whether i had the job or not. Well...i am still waiting, and to be honest, it seems rather late to me. Tch, supermarkets. So it looks like i am going to have less money and more dossing time, which could be good news for everyone perhaps steven spielberg.
Tomorrow i am baking! i was bought some bradny butter-my fav. so i am making some mince pies to go with it. I know its not very seasonal, but really who ever said mince pies were for Christmas time only? Well whoever it was must have been wrong!
In other news.....Aaaarrggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Help me! I am going insane. I have to much to do in too little time and a doing not enough in the huge amounts of time i have to do nothing!
Thought for the Day: Boredom is merely defferred excitement or is it the other way round?

Wahooo over 50 posts and still going...
Yes, this post is the 51st of its kind, which i guess means we've overtaken letters of the alphabet and US presidents...next up...heinz varieties...only 7?!? to go? i think so anyway.
Today i got more shoes. This does not mean i have lots of money, rather that i owned no soes that kept water out before this week. Hence i decided i probably needed 2 good pairs of shoes. For some reason i always worry i sound like a girl when i talk about shoes. But..however i can assure you, despite worrying allegations, i have no little secret regarding my gender-I am most definitely male! there that ought to put an end to those rumours! lol
I went into waitrose today, and so they will be ringing me tomorrow to tell me whether they will employ me or not. I would like the money, but if they said no, it would be a handy excuse to do noting all holiday! Other than that i also watched the wallace and gromit film today for the first time-brilliant (with extra ice!)

Personal rant-do not bother reading!
I do not have much to say today. I have grumbled about the hour loss, and besides going out for a meal, and then listening to the football there is nothing to report about today. So instead i shall briefly discuss a radio programme i heard last night about Norman Kember. I am afraid that i am slowly losing all faith in humanity. There were loads of people ringing in (some anti-religous) saying how stupid he was to be out there
The reality is that the war was illegal and immoral and that for my part i wish i had the guts to act on my beliefs more. All those who were against the war, and then suddenly when an OAP peacemaker is out in Iraq, he is being called reckless and stupid. Shouldn't we be encouraging people like him and helpign iraqis see that we are not behind what the government is doing and that we disagree with it? Hes on a peacemission, hes not a missionary converting people.
I guess that the sad fact is that we work on a majority system of government. For once i am inclined to agree with Oli, that a country where the right people were in charge would be far better than a country run by the majority-who are usually wrong.
Thought for the Day: Majority rule sucks!! lol
Sorry rant over!

i hate BST!
We're gonna lose an hour??? Where has it gone??? That is most careless, lets just hope we find it sometime-and quickly-it took until october last time...
I hate losing hours, its so inconvenient to my sleeping plans. I mean i wouldn't miss 2-3 in the afternoon. Personally i think that would be far better than depriving us of an hours sleep. I mean thats just mean!
Well the big news of today is that i too have experienced caramel shortbread this holiday. Only this was Bettys of Harrogates finest Millionaire shortbread and was half the size of Andy's and cost 3 times as much. Still i didn't buy it so the cost is of no concern to me! And it was very nice!
I also managed to start the dreaded W word today through some light reading. I hope to scale up to full time revision over the next few weeks. Other than that i have had a very average day. I could spend hours ranting about the cheats that call themselves footballers, but i realise that none of you would be remotely interested in that, so i will spare you! Katherine is back with no bones broken which is also very good! I will leave you in peace now. Tara
Thought for the Day: If you have any problems today do not fear...don't lose any sleep over them, BST does that for you...
