sitting at the kitchen table, laptop in front of me - TV burbling away in the distance...........(oh right, Michael Fish says there'll be no hurricane..........!)
In the semicircle on the table starting at the left we have............empty chai glass, ash tray, salt cellar, ashtray - AA battery charger, inkjet topup kits - digi camera, baccy and lighter - DAB radio, tibetan singing bowl containing webcam and card reader (don't ask)- one small dog crashed out in front of Rayburn, one skulking in the bedroom, cat on 'er indoors' rocking chair........washing drying above Rayburn on Victorian "haul up" airer
(oh lor, just looked behind me at the most cluttered dresser EVER.......it'd take weeks to list........inverters, chargers, controllers, wireless router I picked up for £2.......) - good lord, oak chips for the smoker I've never used!
Smell? - that'd be the seven enormous cloves of garlic I cooked alongside my steak tonight (and consumed with relish)
Hear? - bl**dy Edwina Curry......(switches swiftly to Newsnight....
...oh Chief Rozzer bent as a corkscrew......what a surprise!)
Who? - me, the dogs and cat ('er indoors is visiting her sister for a few days)................peace, perfect peace.................(well, until I let the dogs out for a pee that is - it's either badgers, vixens or pheasants that wander round the garden at night - the dogs disappear barking their heads off, scattering whatever it is........)
And for those in the frozen wastes - this afternoon it was shorts and shirtsleeves weather down here in Sussex
