Endless Rain

I’m sitting here and about to turn the computer off. I realise that I’m in a mood to leave crabby comments on other people’s blogs and I refuse to let myself down that way.

And the day seemed to begin so well with a more-friendly-than-usual walk to the station. I thought it odd that three people smiled at me, two said ‘hello’, and another burst into a fit of giggles. At first I thought it was my disguise, given that I have to travel to Manchester in cognito. It was only when I arrived at the station that I looked down to discover that I’d walked a mile with my fly down.

And that was the highlight of the last 24 hours which, in terms of failed umbrellas, leaking shoes, spelling mistakes, interrupted sleep, spillages, and a dozen other things I can mention, has been an unquantifiable disaster.

There might be a good reason for me to wake up in the morning but I’m struggling to think of one at the moment.

How could you not be looking forward to getting up in the morning and seeing our bright, shining faces? What more could a man want than a small but adoring following?

I'd love to cheer you up but I'm not too cheery myself...
But at least theres Stephen Fry podgram to look forward too... albeit its his speech about BBC but I'm trying not to nit-pick.

As it is now Friday, and you haven't posted, did you decide not to get up after all Richard?

I can see no other reason for us fellow bloggers to be out there other than as a repository for 'crabby comments'.

I'm so sorry for the silence. I've been feeling rather glum the last few days and I really wasn't good company. However,the sun is now shining and I'm eating ryvita.
