Readers, tomorrow is Midsummer’s Day and in the UK yesterday it poured with rain all day long and had a top temperature of 12*C!! Don’t you love the British Summer? And Wimbledon is starting on Monday so don’t expect a dry spell any time soon.
Although I did read in one of the less intelligent newspapers that we were heading for a drought. Go figure!
Also:-
* I went to the gym for the first time since October (yoga six days a week and cycling six to eight miles a day is enough for me!). I went on Himself’s guest pass and watched him do boy things with weights whilst I lifted handweights that were only one step up from sticks. I also sat in the steam room until I went pink and ate carrot soup in the bar afterwards.
* Watched Dorian Gray. Oh how awful it was. Oscar Wilde’s Picture of Dorian Gray is my favourite book. I know it *really* well. I wrote my MA thesis on it you see. And the film missed the whole point of the book by over glamorising and over sexualising the whole thing. Plus the book has probably the most perfect ending in the history of fiction and the film…… THEY CHANGED IT, readers!!! They had the audacity to change it. There was anger in my living room.
* Ate toast, drank caramilised vodka (this stuff is so good, readers), stocked up on Moleskine journals (there was an offer on), spent a little too much money (still trying to learn the difference between “necessity” and “frivolity”) and met friends staring at cakes through a window.
These cakes were purchased for my darling dad yesterday as an early Father’s Day present (Mama and Papa Yogini are driving to France as I type so I haven’t seen them today). Papa Yogini is one of my most avid readers and one of my biggest inspirations (yoga and otherwise). Hope you are having a wonderful day dad, even if you are stuck behind the wheel!
