Mondays, don't you hate them? That horrible journey to work where you start remembering where you left everything on Friday and what arguments are still outstanding and what's going wrong that you have to pull from the brink, and all the other stuff that means that I can feel the stress levels slowly go up and up and up over the course of 30mins until I arrive at work as taut as a bow string. And today wasn't even a bad day! And I had a nice clear head from not drinking on Sunday and no horrible meetings scheduled. Then again, would I truely be satisfied with a grunt job again where I got told what to do, had no power, and every day was the same? No...maybe not...but *slightly* less stress would be quite nice - it would be nice to have at least a fighting chance of living until I'm 60...

Oh well, at least the rain is good for my herb garden. The raspberry bush seems to be suffering somewhat from it's 5ft move sideways and I think I've screwed up my raspberry crop next year...well, actually, the squirrel's raspberry crop considering I only got about 3 berries of this years crop, the little bastard. I really must get a squirrel feeder to at least distract it from all my other stuff next year, maybe a little vending system. Wonder if they eat vegetable crops as well? I guess we'll soon see - it didn't eat my beans last year and remains uninterested in my rhubarb (so far). Time will tell.

But I really should sow some grass now it's started raining a bit. It would be nice to have a green garden instead of a brown one for a while - I mean, relandscaping my garden on my own seemed like a good idea at the time but I'm bored of brown earth at the moment. It's a pain waiting for things to grow though isn't it? Gardening really isn't for the impatient. Remind me to start posting a few pictures of how it isn't at the moment so you can see what I mean.

Anyhow, just finishing off the evening with The Truman Show now. I love films like this that mess with the idea of reality (The Matrix being another). I remember seeing this years ago and starting to look around for signs of people gratuitously advertising products in the middle of conversations with me, and half finished sets hidden around corners. Didn't find anything of course, but I can levitate spoons and dodge bullets...

Can't stand here chatting though, I have to initiate my Bed Program - I got gym early in the morning.
