ten things i’ve done in the last 24 hours that you might not have.
1. Used gravelly bronchitis voice to do killer E.T. impression.
2. Performed Solid Gold dance to Hall and Oates in my living room.
3. Lolled on a giant white beanbag in front of my fireplace for two hours, turning regularly to avoid single-side scorch.
4. Started adding Christmas tunes to my iPod.
5. Ran to convenience store in pajamas with large golf umbrella.
6. Did unintentional moonwalk in shower with overapplication of fun shower gel.
7. Drove along rainy coastline singing country music.
8. Swallowed a strawberry whole by accident.
9. Made myself giggle while making cod. Pieces of cod. You do the math.
10. Considered starting a band called “Ladyfingers” until I realized via Google there are like, eighteen of them.

1. Tried to sing along to Captain and Tennille’s ‘Do That To Me One More Time’ and only ended up sounding like two cats fighting on a fence.
2. Tried ‘moonwalking’ in my lounge room and scared the crap out of my daughter.
3. Laid on my bed and started reading “The First Chronicles of Thomas Covenant” yet again.
4. Added that Captain and Tennille song to my sidebar.
5. Stood naked in my back courtyard (when the kids weren’t home) and scared the crap outta the birds and the insects.
6. Cut myself shaving (yes, after 30 years of shaving, I can still fumble…)
7. Listened to a country and western song; I played it backwards and everything was alright…
8. Swallowed a fly (well, my mouth was open and it was a hot day…)
9. Made myself a sandwich (cholesterol-lowering butter with lemon curd and Jarlsberg cheese, yum)
10. Considered writing a poem but then realised that I’m crap as a writer.

Ten things I’ve done in the last 24 hours.
1. Drove 80 miles from home to Llandudno on the North Wales Coast on a beautiful, crisp autumn morning.
2. Found a parking spot and had the correct change for the ticket machine.
3. Walked up the Great Orme in Llandudno, North Wales.
4. Having spent an unsuccesful Saturday in Manchester hunting for a black jacket I found one in the first shop I went to in Wales!
4. Drank a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc (Chilean) watching the sun set over Conwy Castle. (North Wales again).
5. Drove home on the coast road listening to tracks by a guy called Paul Carrack.
6. Collected my friend Brian (72) from Liverpool John Lennon Airport as he’s flown over for a week.
7. Failed miserably at salvaging the rug in the conservatory having spilt some red wine on it.
8. Fell asleep in the conservatory and only made it to bed at 01.30 GMT! It’s a long day today.
9. Didn’t get into my office until 11.00am having had to organise a hire car for Brian and a customer giving me the run around.
10. Checked into this site and left a couple of replies. I’ve not been checking in often enough.
