Weathering the storm.

The whole of continental Europe was completely dry today, except wherever I was. I drove about one hundred miles today, all over London. But no matter where I stopped, it absolutely p****d down for the whole day.

   I was going to write and as I don't have a laptop because I sat on it, or a tablet unless the new PC version turns out to be any good, I dragged out my battered notepad which I immediately dropped into a puddle. Then just as I had a good idea a traffic warden tried to give me a ticket despite my parking permit staring him in the face. It's as if there's a plot to stop me writing. After that little battle ended with only a little profanity, my pen wouldn't work. I realise now that I shouldn't have stirred my tea with my Mont blanc but who knew it would be so fragile. I tried a pencil but someone must have dropped it about fifty times - probably me, because I could barely write a word before the end fell off no matter how many times I sharpened it. I stirred my tea with that once but I don't like the after-taste of graphite.

   However, not being thwarted and all that, I managed to finish Hoodies 2 edit no 194939486 this evening and tomorrow I'm going to start again but backwards this time. It's a little daunting but I'm determined to succeed.

  1. lmao! My goodness, sooooo funny. I mean, um, sorry for all the problems writing today. (Still very funny, though)

    1. Not so much funny as sad. I really ought to think occasionally. I'll try it on the next leap year.

  2. I have days like that. Hopefully today will be better for you.

    Hugs and chocolate,

    1. All my days are like this. I'm left handed and the whole world is out to get me. Not that I'm clumsy or anything.

  3. I'm left handed too (and can at times be incredibly clumsy!) - I think that's what's supposed to make people like us creative. You really should write more humour like this - its very funny and very good!

  4. Thank you. I'll give it a shot. Although my many misfortunes don't seem so funny at the time; only to other people. Like that traffic warden, who offered me his pen but only backed off when I suggested a few places where he could insert it.
