La Vie En Rose - La Mome
Let us not talk fasely now, the hour is getting late
The day started reasonably early, considering I didn’t have to get up – I’m sure it won’t last even though I despise wasting the day in bed… I’m not sure if power naps really come into that equation as they almost a necessity – I must have been tired, where as staying in bed is often just down to plain laziness. I did have a mid after
It rained so hard during the day I barely left the house, only for a ‘sensible’ haircut – I was going to go to the gym to skip but it was too wet, an attempt to clear space in the lounge to skip proved disastrous, but would have worked had it not been for the lampshade!
Touch rugby was called off for the first time due to the rain – the pitches were waterlogged – even though I can’t play, I’ve adopted an organisational, co-ordinater role for the team, ‘Beyond Thunderdome’, but the enthusiasm is on the wane as the results cease to favour us and my inability to personally intervene is more pointed. My observations fall on deaf ears I long since realised anyway, even though I wrap them in cotton wool.
In the evening instead I cycled to town to the corner house to watch a film, I intended to see Nuovomundo, but the main screen was flooded so I watched instead ‘La Vie En Rose’ a biopic about Edif Piaf, I knew of course about Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien, but not much else and I assume it’s pretty accurate on the matters of fact. It’s a tragic story, with some accursed bad luck but she seemed to be a nightmare to be around – a right little Madam as some might say! – but the film wasn’t too shabby at all!
Before that though I was pretty bored and after my power nap, I decided to count the money in my loose change jar – nothing above 20p coin. Over £25, despite the donation to Christian Aid and a handful of Euros too. Might come in handy!
Recently I tried buying some Horlicks as it’s supposed to help you sleep – I also heard the same about a double tot of brandy before bed does the same so I got some of that too. I’ve had it a few nights and it’s hard to tell if it does work but I’m sure it ain’t doing any harm either!
