Latest Moan From You and Me 2024

During a drought?

 

I remember you posting about this “ famous” leak a few years back!

 

I have achieved absolutely nothing today. Fed up with myself for frittering it away. I blame the weather. Just can't be bothered to get started on anything while it's this gloomy.

 

Yes the leak is now famous, I dont remember it 52 yrs ago but it seems like it.

 

I find it difficult to get motivated when the weather is poor, but once I get out there its surprising what I find to do, been cutting back a biggish tree that is starving some plants of light, I thought I'd do it now while its still in leaf as you can get a better picture of what needs to come off.
Likewise, I take the dog for a walk and think I wont go too far this morning, before I know it I've been gone ages.
Often its just making that first step.

 

What ... you mean I need to arise from my supine position on the sofa?

I did have a short walk this morning, but what with the drizzle and the wind driving it at me, it wasn't deeply enjoyable. Hey ho! There's always tomorrow.

I am reading a very depressing, stream-of-consciousness library book about a man on a train journey with the intention of committing suicide, which isn't lifting my spirits, TBH. I think I will race through the rest to get it over with - the book that is, not the man's life, as I'm fairly certain fate will intervene - and move onto something more cheerful. Serial killings or war, maybe.

 

Yes drizzle and subzero winds are my two biggest hates regarding going out doing things.
I see your point.

I never read books so I miss out on that kind of depression.

 

I dunno why I put myself through it!

Actually, it is very well written, just a bit intense for my current frame of mind.

 

Sounds as though you could do with a prolonged dose of Terry Pratchett

 

Just finished it. Happy ending ... or maybe, more accurately, a hopeful one.

 

This is turning into a saga. Can’t wait for the next thrilling instalment. Do I sense a best seller being penned or even a film?

 

Hollywood blockbuster?
