New year, new me.
Winter has been gentle here. No need for hibernation.
On Christmas day I was over at my brother`s. I was
drinking shots of Jameson with ginger beer.
There was a tv programme about Peter O`Toole.
Then Home Alone was on and on another channel it
was Morecambe & Wise and I said `unless you like slapstick
you have no options` but my speech was slightly slurred.
- that`s about as sparkling as my conversation gets.
After Christmas I drove to Waterford to see my buddies.
I brought dog and we stayed at the travelodge. Dog
slept on the carpet. My friends live in a built-up
area, no gardens at all, and there wasn`t any grassland
for my dog to piss on. I took her round the block and
there was some artificial lawn outside a pub and she
pissed on it but no-one noticed.
Waterford: my kinda town.
I`ve done the wallpaper in the livinroom. Apart from
All is going well,, the car is running ok for a 27 year old.
Apart from that, I`ve nothing much, I keep the
place low key.
Kerb appeal: I got a new doormat in Ikea.
I got the railings out the front painted black.
Nothing too attention seeking out there because I don`t want
any attention.Tidy, yes but no gimmickry or `wtf`.
I cleaned the downstairs window with windolene.
I don`t have anything in the window now: I`m getting the place
as bare as I can. A passer-by could see a few dim lights on
in the room but that`s all. I like a few lights even if I`m
not in.
Here`s a thing about Kerb appeal, some
houses have it, some DON`T. Kerb appeal.
Can`t you imagine filling the garden with
plastic tat , faded from the sun.
