Gold sofa day
Yippee! Busy doing nothing today. Lorraine and I reading the paper on my gold sofa. At one point I decided to clean the filter of my aquarium, but this necessitated moving the sofa, then vacuuming all the appalling things that were under there. Lorraine noticed spiderwebs and soon we were seeking specialised nozzles and hoovering the ceiling, as well as carrying buckets of water for the tank.
I cooked a large Sunday roast with six veggies and we ate this. Later Betty came by to collect Lorraine. Beth has just been selected to sing a solo in The Royal Albert Hall when there is an orgy of 100 stage schools performing bits from musicals. It will be her last stage school performance and she is going out on a high, even though the event sounds like a species of Dantesque purgatory to me. Things are going well for her. She and Mark are well up for more performances of Wrong, so we will sort those out in the coming week.
In the evening I sat on the sofa in an improving way, reading more of The Mind in the Cave and watching The Wonders of the Universe which was all about time and entropy. It is rather beautiful to watch the elf-haired Dr Brian Cox stand about amid some amazing landscapes. Photography lovely, except for vignetting him from time to time. Then Match of the Day, where Manchester United were roundly beaten by Liverpool. I had texted Anton to be sure not to miss it, but heard nothing back.
And so to bed.
