Finding the time

Wifey was busily unpicking some knitting last night at ten to ten- she'd drop a row or some other such technical thing that she did explain to me but I utterly failed to understand twice, so just pretended to on the 3rd attempt, lest the knitting needle become a weapon of retribution against me.

And I was busy utterly failing to read the latest book club book. I manfully struggled through The Piano Teacher last month, which came with a recommendation from Elle magazine on the cover (the SHAME!), so thought this months would be better. It's a detective story, which in theory should be more up my street but is proving troublesome. Maybe it's because I have to read it rather than because I want to. I'm perverse like that.

But maybe it was also because my concentration span is stuffed at the moment. I was up at 6am for a business breakfast- worth it in the end as I won two tickets to England/Egypt.

  1. I am the same. If I HAVE to read something I find myself coming up with all sorts of excuses not to do it. All very strange.

  2. Is England/Egypt something to do with Association Football, by any chance? Or have you won a holiday?

  3. Its a football match, I did the post at work and we have a fairly draconian firewall that blocks the majority of the internet from 8.56am, so I just hit publish quickly when I glanced at the clock :)

    I'd love to say I now actually own both sovereign states but sadly that is not the case :(
