Mr A was working from home today, so there was a constant flow of music from his office, including Stranglers, The Clash, assorted Reggae and Romanian Gypsy Punk Funk.
I've been writing the plot of a story. It's Science Fiction and involves:
2 aliens called Jemm'Nez and Braa'Ayu,
symbols given in dreams,
3 reincarnations,
a mission to save the planet's population from dying of an illness,
a cure for the same illness on another planet,
a locator disguised as a locket,
a key to the spacecraft disguised as a locket,
dream diaries,
a book written from the diaries which becomes a fictional best seller.
So, change the order a bit, add some interesting dialogue, descriptive scenery, strong characterisation and page numbers, and a story is born.
It's a football night on the t.v., so I'll probably watch some programmes on 4OD, Peep Show being number one choice of viewing.
Each evening, Mr A has a bottle of beer that I've brought when I went shopping. I get a different one every night, tonight it's the turn of Ridley's 'Old Bob.' A strong premium ale, alcohol 5.1% volume. Mr A reckons it's a good 'un. The names of some of the ales I've got range from the ridiculous to the sublime. I can't remember many at the mo, but there's Black Sheep, Dark Lord, Oxford Gold, Old Glory, and Landlord.
The veg is coming on, in the garden, we had our first courgette, a round, firm and smooth little beauty.
I can't wait (well, I'll have to) for the sweetcorn to be ripe. Corn on the cob picked and cooked within half an hour is a taste of heaven on earth. Oooo, with a large dob of butter and a pinch of salt. Yes.
Well, it's time to put the rice on, pick some fennel and act as a general busybody. Actually, I claim that title.
Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce our esteemed and honoured blogger for this evening;
'General Busybody, R.M.M.' (right mouthy madam)
