music, messages and mumblings!

I had a message from a friend today, about time too.  Don't you hate it when you email someone and they never get back to you, or they leave it so long you forget what you wrote in the first place?  Texts can be the same.  I had 3 texts today, Saturday, in reply to texts I had sent on Thursday, which I thought were being ignored.   One was a reply to me telling the children I would pick them up from school as it was peeing down.  Fat lot of use having the reply two days later O2!!  We all seem to have lost the knack of picking up the phone and talking, although I guess on mobiles it can be expensive.  I am actually in the middle of a letter to go into my friends' birthday card.  Each time I manage to sit down I write a bit more, am up to 3 sheets of paper so far.  Its so stupid, she only lives just over the bridge, but I haven't seen her for years.  Every christmas we say we must catch up, and never do.  Sheer laziness on both our parts.  Why do we feel our lives are so busy all the time?  Maybe we all have our routines and don't feel we can fit anything else into it without totally disrupting things?  Don't know, must ponder some more.

My wallpaper samples came today, three of which are no good, but two are in the running.  A brown one with a gold pattern running thru it, and the animal one, previewed on an earlier blog.  Rach took one look at the animal one and pronounced it "totally you".  Becky has threatened to leave home if we put that one up - how tempting lol.  For those who know me, it is totally me.  Lets face it, the light shade in the bedroom is Bang on the Door animals,  the lounge is full of quirky ornaments and my favourite mug has Dangermouse on it.  What can I say?  Anything wild and wacky with animals and I am sold.

We spent the afternoon at the music festival, the rain held off and although the sun didn't really show its face it wasn't cold.  Husband is now in bed due to copious amounts of alcohol, Becky has gone to bed, mainly I think because Josh is sleeping in her room, and Rich is on his beloved xbox.  Funny how the fresh air makes you tired.  I walked Specks round the pond on two occasions - flippin people in the way everywhere!  I am so used to the park being empty I resent it when it is used lol.  Probably going over tomorrow again as they have gospel and then Jazz on Sundays.  Mustn't forget we have Josh!   He was so good this afternoon, he really is an angel, bless him.  Not once did he moan or grumble or become bored.  He wasn't at all worried when Rach left him here, although to be fair he is used to it as I have him every Wednesday.  He was excited he was having a sleep over!  I hope he doesn't wake in the night .................

Lets see, what else can I ramble on about?  Oh yes, The Feeling CD also arrived today - haven't had chance to listen to it yet.  My CD player in the kitchen has broken which is a bit of a pain, can only listen to the radio atm.  I have a portable CD player with no headphones.  I seem to remember Becky wanting headphones for something, so that is probably the last I will see of them.  Will have a hunt around because I could listen to it then whilst I write a bit more of my letter.  That will save all you lot from having to read my thoughts :o)  Yup, maybe I will curl up on the settee and relax, and drown out the sound of CoD on the xbox. 

Just remember peeps, keep in touch with the people you love, family, friends etc.  It doesn't really take much effort and everyone appreciates it.  Thats all for now :o) xxx
