Another lazy day...

Was too apathetic to get up, so stayed in bed until around one. Then I had to do mundane stuff like shop for food and do obscene amounts of Laundry. Oh, what fun. Added a few new pics to my LiveJournal and noticed that a couple more people have friended me (waves). After that, I got down to doing some more writing - had to forcibly restrain one of my characaters from referring to himself as a t00b (whatever that means), so have clearly been reading too much LJ. Watched WarGames while I ate tea - another surprisingly good movie which I haven't watched for years. More CD ripping and writing and writing after that - noticed that have just passed 15,000 words, so about 1/5 done. Unfortunately, expect to run out of plot ideas in about 5-10,000 words time. Darn. Wrote LiveJournal entry. Went to bed. (OK, that last part is still in the future).

That is not a lazy day

That is a highly productive day. Heck, your lazy days outstrip my highly productive ones by about a factor of three.

Ooh, that's a fine crop of Friends; excellent people who might each be referred to as a mushroom because they're a fun guy. (And Irina, who isn't a guy. Sorry, Irina.) You shall have to bully Keith Fraser into getting LJ'd up so that we can complete the Four Horsemen of the Apocalox.

I like your new pictures a lot, but who is Dinwiddy Snurdle? He's not even the wooden bird... with purple hair...

...ooh, somebody stop me...

...who's on a wooden pole so he can't go nowhere?
He's a wooden bird! With lots of style!
WHEN HE TAPS HIS BEAK HE'S GONNA MAKE YOU SMILE!

Feeling better, Mr. Evans Dickson, or should I call the Narn Bat Squad?

I regret to inform you that the aforementioned bird is no longer with us. He got so old that his hair turned white (no, really) and passed away to the land of the wheelie bin.

Dinwiddy Snurdle was a character on the 1985 kids TV show "Galloping Galaxies" (which also featured a computer voiced by Kenneth Williams). Somehow, the strange ... uh ... thing pictured got named after the character (hey, it was 17 years ago, I don't remember the details).

I refer to yesterday as a "lazy day" on the grounds the I spent most of it in my PJs (except the trip to Sainsbury's, obviously) not in reference to how much (or little) I achieved.

OK, I'm glad I'm not the only person who remembers it. In the second series Sid had a smaller, mobile version called ... um ... <googles> Junior. And the whole thing only ran for 10 episodes.
