I made a commitment to write something on this blog every day in November. Some of you may have noticed that I have, on occasion, already relaxed this to mean that I will write something for every day in November, i.e. occasionally allowing myself a day to catch up on the previous day.
It's already late, but I'm reluctant to go to bed without adding something to the blog, because I suspect I'll be playing catch up for the rest of the month if I let things slide until tomorrow.
So, in the absence of a specific idea to explore, I thought I might just tell you some of the things that are on my mind right now. I don't think any of them will be particularly funny, but they will at least be true.
- I was very pleased to learn from BBC News that Barack Obama's emails are "generally crisp, properly spelled and free of symbols or emoticons".
- I'm annoyed at B&Q for managing to persuade me that a halogen light I bought this morning should be sold to me "as new" and at full price despite obviously being re-boxed and messily Sellotaped shut. When I got it home, I took no joy in the knowledge that my scepticism had been well-founded and indeed parts were missing.
- I'm hoping that the fact I've had noodles from the local takeaway for dinner two evenings running is a statistical anomaly rather than an unhealthy new trend.
- And I'm wondering how I'm going to get all of the gorilla fur out of my carpet. And no, I'm not going to explain that any further...
