A Productive Sunday
Nov. 4th, 2012 06:05 pmThe great thing about setting goals is that wonderful feeling of achievement you get when you can tick something off your list because you've done it when you said you were going to do it.
A joint effort from me and Neil has left us with a much more organised kitchen that feels much nicer to work in. We have a load of glasses and crockery that can be free-cycled, and have found some useful stuff that had been lying around forgotten and gathering dust - so I'm drinking Lady Grey from the tea set that my friend Sharon bought me, and treats are in the cupboard in a lovely cream biscuit jar instead of the chipped and cracked Tetley Gaffer jar.
A mixed afternoon has resulted from my little sojourn to the library. It seems so weird that they are now open on Sundays! I went to hear John Dickie talk about his relative who fought in the Spanish Civil War. It was a free talk and really interesting.
I didn't intend to buy his book, but he seemed quite put out by what he felt was a low turnout, and it was an interesting subject. So I did. I used money I'd earmarked this weekend for the purchase of tights, though I managed to find some for just 59p. To buy or not to buy? I feel guilty either way, but come on conscience - I'm in budget still!
No matter what John thought there were quite a few people there for an author talk, I reckoned.
Anyway, to offset my spending qualms, I took out Screw Work, Let's Play. These self-help books are often gubbins, but if I can glean any bright ideas for making my extra curricular stuff pay better, then that will be good.
Anyway, here is John Dickie. He's sitting on the set of Wuthering Heights.
