I hate Wednesday's. Middle of the week, a full day in school - why is it any good?
And why does this link to my day?
I'll tell you why. Christmas is coming. It really is. The Christmas CD's are properly out this week, I'm in such a wintery mood, and the snow is forecast for December. It is going to be perfect. And my Business Studies lesson was planning my perfect Christmas.
Why, I hear you ask, have you chosen Christmas in New York?! New York at Christmas is where I would love to be. I want to take Isobel, and walk through Central Park early Christmas Day, to return to find an 8ft Christmas tree covered in gold tinsel sitting at the house with two presents underneath, and Diana Krall and her orchestra playing in the corner. We can all dream...
But NYC at Christmas, covered in snow?! It would be perfect. Just look at that picture? Now that is Christmas perfection. A couple of snowmen, maybe an ice rink, and lots of colourful coats and wellies - now you have the perfect scene.

Tuesday 6th October 2009 - Beechams
Ah... Its quarter past 8, and I'm sitting down to write my blog. Don't do this very often!
Well, todays been a bit of a mish mash. Got up at 7, only to find I had a high temperature, felt like a dog turd and couldn't talk, so dear old Mother told me to get back into bed and she'd sort the rest. Aren't Mums just great?!
Got up again at half 11, had a chat with Isobel, then went down to have some lunch, came back up, and jumped on here. Facebook is a very lonely place at half past 1 in the afternoon.
But the one consistent thing today was my runny nose. And that was down to good old Beechams. Specifically, the Flu Plus tablets. They may not work for ages, but then they kick in!
Isobel has been checking on me all day, bless her. And I've snotted all over myself and my phone just to try and make sure I sound better! So hopefully, tomorrow is a new day and tomorrow brings a healthy me!

Monday 5th October 2009 - Kleenex
Kleenex. Primarily a tissue associated with tears, but today, its associated with the flu, the cold and a general bunged up nose.
Now I've had my good ole hanky all day at school, and then this evening, when I've been with Isobel, its tissues all the way.
Now I've felt better during the day, but not great. Tonight its getting worse, again! But hopefully Isobel will wake up feeling better, as will I!
She had a bad day, mostly because of me and 'The Bug'. So hopefully it gets better!

Saturday 4th October 2009 - The X Factor
2 days, 2 programmes!
One is all about blood, guts, moaning, tears and tantrums. And the other is called Casualty.
The X Factor. It properly starts next week, but they are all picked tonight. As I type, Dannii is the only one to pick. Lucie, Rachel and Stacey all through so far. Good choices actually! Looking forward to Simon's pick though.
The X Factor has had me glued to my seat every Saturday and Sunday. Its brilliant, I can't get enough.

Saturday 3rd October 2009 - Casualty
Nothing like a bit of 'gore' on a Saturday night now is there?!
Casualty has suddenly become one of my favourite programmes, and for no apparent reason either! I reckon its something to do with my Media Studies A Level, mainly because we had to watch a clip one lesson! Bit sad really!
But yes, the F2's are brilliant, I'm slowly getting the hang of the lalagalathrosis stuff, and I now know what a Clinical Lead is! Doesn't mean I like blood and the horrible gory bits yet though!
Its become the programme myself and Isobel share. Same as today really. A perfect afternoon with a perfect woman. Shame I've seen this Casualty and she's out and about with the boys and girls tonight!
Hey ho! I'm sure Casualty will keep going, beyond its 21st year.

Friday 2nd October 2009 - Hitchin CC
I know its late, and I know why! This one has a good reason though.
Hitchin Cricket Club. Now how many of you honestly know where Hitchin is? Its quite a large town, 30 miles from London. And it homes the best cricket team in the world. Fact.
Last night was the cricket club do. End of the season, and an opportunity to celebrate this year's achievements. 1's up, 2's consolidate and 3's up. And I hardly drank anything!

Thursday 1st October 2009 - Khaled Hosseini
A new month!
And to start off, yesterday was completely right, and then some. Paolo was incredible, such a good concert.
But Khaled Hosseini gets it today. His book has ruined my enjoyment of English. The Kite Runner is one of the worst pieces of forced literature I've ever read.
Yes, there is a rape. But could it not wait till later on in the book? At least then it would keep you interested, waiting for the action. Its just such a boring book, and one I will be too glad to get rid of when I'm all done!
