A list of things I saw today
Today was a pretty average day. In fact, I can't remember anything particularly unusual.
So it's a perfect day to make a list about the things I saw during it, and to spice it up, what I thought about each of them.
1. A dead deer.
At least I think it was a deer. It was quite big and was lying by the road with its head in a strange position. Conclusion: modern life's hard and we do well if we get home at the end of the day in one piece.
2. A bag of Salt and Vinegar Hula Hoops for 27p.
I love these. Hula Hoops are the king of casual crisps, especially the big bags you get at motorway service stations. There was a time a few months ago when a bag would set me back 17p. Now they're 27p. Life's expensive eh.
3. A piece of dog shit in the shape of a foot print.
I looked away as quickly as possible because that's a nasty thing to look at. But I couldn't help thinking of the poor bugger who owned the foot.
4. A Campervan in really good nick.
My mate used to have a VW Campervan so I know what they're like: shit. But they look so cool it's a shame.
5. A romance novel.
Whilst in WHSmith I had a quick look at the books and noticed an old fashioned romance novel called something like 'Throbbing Romance on the Beach'. It looked rubbish, but people like that stuff don't they. Fair enough I suppose.
6. A closed cafe.
It looked like a nice cafe, but it was shut. On one of the tables was a pile of holiday brochures.
7. The blanked out faces of a murdered man's children.
Whilst having my lunch (at my desk) I visited the BBC website. On there was a story of a wealthy man who was stabbed by a mental poor man who has a thing about wealthy people. The photo showed the wealthy man, his wife and two small children... but they had no faces.
8. A crow.
I often mistake crows for eagles or hawks. Some are very big, and they fly quite elegantly sometimes. Maybe they're as interesting as an eagle or hawk, I don't know. But I feel duped by them so I call them cunts.
9. A bra.
I stopped off at the Co-op on the way home to buy something, and parked in front of a bra shop. Is it ok to look at bras or does it mean I'm a monster? I avoided looking in the direction of the shop just in case.
10. Flashing Christmas lights.
We bought some simple white lights to adorn the tree by our house. They look really nice. Our neighbour has now adorned the front of their house with massive twinkling white lights that look very impressive. Ours look a bit feeble now.
Isn't it amazing how dull a day can be. And life is made up of loads of these.
But then there are those corkers that make it all worth while. Maybe tomorrow.
