Yes, it certainly is. It’s unbelieveable how much this year has flown over.
Today certainly feels like a traditional day already. Very sunny, with the occasional raincloud floating overhead, and very, very windy.
Last night had one of those hilarious moments. I went out to the club as I usually do on Thursdays, for a game of snooker before the lodge. I approach the cashpoint, but just as I got there, some woman with a kid get there before me. Probably mother and daughter, so I’ll call them that from now on. They were talking to each other.
“Eeee, I feel awful. Did you want him to come out tonight?” says the woman, to the kid, who was playing with the money slot. She can’t have been any older than 6.
“Yeah”, the kid replied.
At this point, I lost interest in the conversation, as I fumbled through my wallet. Eventually, their brief spell at the cashpoint ends, when the money appears, and the kid tries to grab it and turn it into expensive confetti. Luckily, the mother snatches it away just in time, and they both wander off down Church Street. I approach the cashpoint, and do my stuff.
I finish, and also head down Church Street. The mother and daughter have stopped, and are outside Kingfisher. The woman is talking (well, bellowing) down her mobile.
“What are you being like that for?? … Well, I didn’t want you to come out anyway … Oh, fuck off.”. she then promptly hangs up.
At this point I laugh out loud. She must have heard me, but I couldn’t care less. It was the funniest thing I’d heard all day.
Er. Nothing much else to report on the news front. My sporting achievements continued on from my 4-nil thrashing of Millmoor at pool on Wednesday, and I had a good game of snooker. Some of the balls actually went where they were supposed to. Unbelieveable.
Oh, and I’ve also done some behind-the-scenes changes to the site. Nothing that should really be noticed, but it tidies the whole thing up a little, and I found some old posts where the images were incorrect. They work now.
It’s now 10:40AM. I’ve been up since 4. I might see if I can get an hours sleep, or something.
