Never start a fight, but always finish it
I wasn't at the protests today, because our last, best hope for peace has failed. Our Glorious Leaders (spot the sarcasm there) have failed to observe the first half of my title quote - and if they had followed the first half the last time our troops went into Iraq, maybe we wouldn't be in this position. But now that it has begun, I hope this war reaches its conclusion as swiftly - and with as few casualties on both sides - as possible. And I'm really going to try to avoid saying anything further on the subject.
Tried to do some shopping, but had extraordinary difficult in finding a nice, simple, non-fitted underblanket. It seems that such things no longer exist. I really don't want a fitted one as I know from bitter experience that they don't stay that way - a bit of turning in the night and it gets pulled into a rumpled and uncomfortable mess in the middle. I ended up finding something that encloses the entire mattress, albeit with little more than a thick sheet. An old double blanket put on the wrong way could at least be tucked in fairly well at the sides, although not at all at the ends. To finish off, an over-sized flat sheet which I can tuck over a foot of on all four sides. Hopefully this will be a little more resistant to my nocturnal movements.
I was hoping to get a bit of general tidying up done in preparation of
hermorrine's visit next weekend, but unfortunately my current book reached the critical point where I could no longer stop reading, so there went the rest of the afternoon. *sigh* I'll just need to get busy the next few evenings.
Oh and today's brief review: ( Collapse )
