not much excitement today.
saw the most horrifying photo ever just now:
look at its eyes.it looks like a person in a dog costume. maybe someone is trapped. So sly.
been out and delivered my Avon catalogues today, someone even chased me and handed it back! Can't believe i am embarking on this pointless exercise!! i thought people would be receptive to avon, but i think i am biased because my mum basically single-handedly funded her avon lady's whole lifestyle, and no one is like my mum like that, people are mean.
Went up to Haworth to the bronte parsonage at the weekend as lally was up. It's an amazing litle town, all cobbled winding streets, really high up with an amazing back-drop of scenery. The only link is via a lovely original steam railway (they filmed the train-scenes from the Railway children there). The Bronte's house is right behind the church(well it was a parsonage) which has the most gothic,bone-tingling graveyard in the world, it makes all their mega-depresssing books suddenly completely logical, it must have been a pre-tty death-filled arena in which to write. Nowadays it's a tourist centre (it's actually really weird to be in a tourist place up here, i forget that yorkshire is a tourist hotspot cause i've broken away from the cambridge tourism megopolis) lots of the shops have their authentic fittings and are really amazing and like something from another time! you can read about the bad brother Bramwell Bronte who drank himself to death after being pushed to be the clever one by his dad, but just not being very talented at anything... then all the Bronte's die off one by one. Leaving dad I do believe.
watched my new box set, wait for it....... MAID MARIAN AND HER MERRY MEN!!! I KNOW! it's seriously mega- brill!!! and watched world cup final on sunday with a mexican feast, match was rubbish and just involved lots of ruthless fighting!!
anyhoo, i am really tired so i am off for a nap.
sorry for the mega shit blog,i will resume tomorrow after a good night's sleep, woke at 6am to see lally off onto her train!
