I started doing this diary in June, it's quite new. If you haven't been following have a look at the Cast of Characters which gives a quick
low down on the essential day to day characters who are mentioned here...it will make more sense if you do.
It doesn't matter normally that I keep these ludicrous nocturnal vigils on the internet becuase I just sleep into the next day and get up whenever I wake up. However, this morning, around 9.30 I was woken up by a very whiney, whingey Jade, Lorna's dog. I was a little surprised because normally the dogs are shut into at the other end of the house but I just thought the doors had been left open and I knew Lorna had gone out so assumed that the dog was pining for her....which she does. I even let her get into my bed...and this is a big dog, in the hope that she would be quiet, but she just stuck her nose in my armpit and carried on whineing. This went on for several hours, so sleep quality was not to good. When I did get up I realised what the problem was, she had somehow been shut into the end room of my annexe, so that she had no way out and nowhere else to go except upstairs to my bedroom, poor dog, no wonder she was whineing, she was probably desperate for a pee or something.
Anyway, that really helped me feel awake and alive. Had even more coffee and fags than I would normally have done and then a long bath. I've finally got ALL the scabby bits off my head, you'll be plese to hear. There was a local music festival on in Tregaron this afternoon, it was quite good last year so were were all looking forward to that. But, somehow it was really not the same, of course the weather is not helping, its been so wet here, everything was moved indoors which is not conducive to a festive atmosphere. Last year the circus skills people were there with all their equipment and the kids were playing out in the square and there were lots of stalls...and it was a nice day, but nothing like that this year. We'd particularly gone to see Lunar Cycles, a local Wimmin's band. We know a few of them and I've seen them a few times and they've been good, they are rather accomplished musicians and do original stuff, but even they were a bit off today. I don't think they were helped my the pa...or the sound engineer, whichever was to blame, but they were really not up to their usual standard. Added to that I got really hacked off by some pissed-up looney in the pub which had already put me into a way bad mood. So when they were done I came straight home. And yes, I did turn on the computers, well, computers don't queue bargge you, insult you intelligence or breath beery breath in your face.
My turn to cook. I didn't feel at all like it but I did it cos thats what you have to do if you have a rota. Then it turned out no-one was hungry...myself included, so I've been sitting on this computer all night as usual, tweaking and what have you. If you're thinking that I do a lot of damn tweaking on my site well, please remember that a month ago I wasn't even really sure what html was. So its all a learning experience for me. I'm sure I'm still doing lots of really bad things but the thing works...or at least it works on my machine, well, it would, wouldn't it. So now it's after 1.00am, and after 3 hours of sleep last night you'd think I'd be in bed already......well....I should be....we'll see.
