We all have them. Those days when you think nothing happens - but this is not true. Something of value happens every single day. More than likely, you're just looking at the world wrong if you don't know this.
Stand-up comics are probably the masters of surveying the minutae and making something from it, but it's something that everybody should at least try and do - even if you're shit at it. If you sitting there thinking, hey it's alright for you - you don't have this or that shit to deal with, fuck you. We all have a cross to bear. Life sucks. Deal with it. I can look at the first six numbers in my phone and show you more shit than you could ever want on your plate.
Anyway, this morning - pretty much while I was asleep at the wheel - a creature ran across the road in front of car, prompting me to get very excited and shout, "look at the size of that bloody rabbit!". The rabbits in the fields around the house are tiny, but that's only because I'm so used to the size of Willow and Barley now. The wild rabbits are probably quite normally sized really.
It took me more than a few moments to realise that it was actually a hare than ran out. I've never seen one before - not in the flesh. I knew they were big but this old bugger was impressive! This was closely followed seconds later by a near collision with a beautiful woodpecker - the spotted variety. Brilliant.
These two little things put me in a great mood considering it was eight in the morning and topped up on yesterday's event when we saw Rhiannon's friend with her dog Izzy - a freaking huge Briard. That also put me in a great mood. She's a lovely dog and I want one.
The fact that Doctor Who finally came up with an episode worth staying in for was an addded bonus this weekend - I had very nearly lost all faith. It's been like watching a pretend Doctor for weeks on end. They really needed to have cracked that Pandorica open right at the beginning... and football? Screw the football. I watched it and it was dull as hell. About as inspiring as... well, the last time I watched them play. Animals: 1 - Sport: 0.
I felt the need to go out and hire The Wolfman yesterday afternoon - and now I wish I hadn't bothered. Blah, blah, wolf, blah, blah, silver bullets, blah blah, special fx... almost as dull as the football. I backed this up witha second rental which I haven't watched yet - Solomon Kane. The tagline is "fight evil... with evil" - I'm looking forward to this. You just know it's going to be great for all the right reasons...
Will add some pictures later if one wishes to come back...
