And I can just about bear to look at a computer again. It’s not a general encouragement to look at the screen to have a beautiful day outside, all a manner of interesting feathered birds hanging around in plain view of my window (I’ve seen goldfinches, woodpeckers, pigeons, blackbirds, greenfinches, blue tits, starlings, cole-tits, sparrows, bullfinches, possibly a crossbill and a large thrush like bird whose name I keep forgetting), and the mother of all headaches – it felt like I’d been stabbed through my left lobe.
But life is good, I managed to use the kitchen to cook this week and haven’t died of food poisoning, I’ve got my ticket booked for Rodrigo y Gabriella at the Newcastle Carling Academy in June, I’ve got my ticket booked for Spiderman 3 on Friday afternoon, one of my friends launches an exhibition of her photography at a local gallery this evening, I’ll be at a barbeque on Friday night and it’s lunch time.
I haven’t mentioned the cricket ground just outside my office – it’s infuriating, but just as well that there’s a six foot fence interrupting my view, or I’d get absolutely no work at all done during the summer – I love hearing the sounds of cricketting and bird song. I couldn’t really ask for a better location.
