croissantkatieThis is going to be a rather itty bitty post, but ah well. It's a post! I can now cross off a third item from my to-do list.
The local major A road is driving me nuts, even though I don't really have anything going on at the moment which requires travel, let alone during rush hour. However, the rest of my family all have to go on it regularly and being stuck for several hours for a journey which should take twenty minutes is not something which creates a very pleasant atmosphere. In the last four working days, there has been at least one accident every morning, and in total there have been six during the morning rush hour. Just seriously? And part of the cutbacks which are happening mean that the road isn't going to be improved anytime soon. Apparently, this is partly because no one has died recently. So the numerous injuries and hours spent in delays count for nothing? Also, a new container dock has been opened at Felixstowe, so all the lorries from there will come down this way. Hooray, even more lorries.
On a more positive note, I went to see a Twenty20 cricket match between the West Indies and England at the Oval. It was a fantastic experience, and is in fact only the second major cricket match I've been to (I saw a forty over match between Warwickshire and Scotland last year at Edgebaston). Twenty20 is in no way the same as a test, but it was still fantastic fun. The Windies had fantastic support, they were far less reserved than those supporting England. I now have yet another cricket tshirt. I will get mocked by my friends for this, but I don't even care. Just because none of them enjoy cricket (seriously, rugby, cycling, gymnastics, swimming, I have friends into all of those but not cricket).
The other night I had a nightmare all about being left out of my group of friends where they all wanted burgers and I wanted pizza and had to go and sit in a different area to eat my pizza and felt all sad and lonely as a result and spent ages going "I could just not eat anything! I don't really want pizza anyway. Oh wait, melted cheese..." I was explaining this to my Mum, and summed it up by saying that it was all about social isolation. At that point I went "ah." Most of my friends are moving/have moved away to university now and I haven't, and I've been really worried about keeping in touch. So, yeah, real subtle there brain. I used to have nightmares about ships and walruses, so I'm not quite sure when my subconscious got so literal, instead of abstract. I miss the m&ms doing the conga.
This Saturday, is the finale of Doctor Who. I am rather excited! I also want answers, not to everything, I think that would be expecting too much. There's always going to be more questions. Saturday also marks the return of Merlin. Due to the combined excitement of this, the three of us who aren't going to university this year are meeting up to watch together. We are all planning on wearing cloaks and billowing in them. I'm looking forward to it.
Now I am going to see if I can cross anything else off my to-do list as I am quite fond (and slightly astonished) by the burst of productivity I am experiencing.
