Plans for today...

Today, I am mostly planning on doing very little.

I have just had my breakfast and am now going to make the most of a respite from the rain to take Teh Dogge for his morning walk.

Then I'm going to come back, have a cuppa and finish reading Caught by Harlan Coben, which I failed to do yesterday.

And then this afternoon I'm going to watch the cricket and do some writing (having got around 100,000 words into a fic I've now decided it might work better in the first person...), and then this evening will be more cricket and possibly some wineage.

Good times!

The elephant in the room

I was watching something on telly about a week ago and someone on the show mentioned the phrase 'the elephant in the room'. I hadn't heard it in ages and so imagine my surprise when the following day, whilst reading The Book of Tomorrow by Cecelia Ahern, I discovered that that was the title of one of the chapters. Then imagine my further surprise when the phrase also cropped up in the next book I read, The Neighbour by Lisa Gardner. And now, in this Harlan Coben book, it's come up again! How spooky is that?

change of plan

I bought one of those microwaveable burgers earlier, to have for dinner tonight.  Unfortunately, when I was attempting to "lightly" toast the bun, I got a bit sidetracked by something else and so the bun wasn't so much lightly toasted as jet black with flames coming off the top of it.  Whoops!

I have now ordered pizza. 

Not too gutted really!

Today, in summary...
