Half an hour ago Soph said she was going for a bath.<\/p>\n
Because it is Sunday, obv.<\/p>\n
Anyway.<\/p>\n
We are both still on the couch.<\/p>\n
Listening to music.<\/p>\n
So far we have heard three versions of Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’.<\/p>\n
And ‘Every Breath You Take’ by Scala and Kolacny Brothers.<\/p>\n
And ‘Nothing Else Matters’, also by Scala and Kolacny Brothers.<\/p>\n
And ‘Creep’ (off of Radiohead – and yes, the version with the ‘F’ word!), also by Scala and Kolacny Brothers.<\/p>\n
I don’t think I could listen to a full-on album. Their vocals are great for the first five or six minutes and then…<\/p>\n
Meh.<\/p>\n
But I really do wish they hadn’t chosen that Police song that we listened to earlier.<\/p>\n
Sting doesn’t need the money.<\/p>\n
Neither does Thom Yorke, obv.<\/p>\n
But I do.<\/p>\n
Oh.<\/p>\n
I haven’t written any songs.<\/p>\n
That’ll be why, then.<\/p>\n
She’s gone now.<\/p>\n
Soph.<\/p>\n
To the bath.<\/p>\n
With her iPod and an episode of The Archers podcast.<\/p>\n
That leaves me down here.<\/p>\n
Alone.<\/p>\n
You know what’s going to happen, don’t you?<\/p>\n
Me.<\/p>\n
Downstairs.<\/p>\n
By myself.<\/p>\n
For fifteen minutes?<\/p>\n
Yep.<\/p>\n
The kettle’s going on.<\/p>\n
And the Cadbury’s Caramel is coming out of the fridge.<\/p>\n
I shan’t tell her, of course.<\/p>\n
I shall dispose of the evidence – both solid and liquid – in a timely manner.<\/p>\n
Oh.<\/p>\n
Bugger.<\/p>\n
I have taken so long chatting to Leigh and Matty B on Skype whilst also writing this that Soph is back from the bath.<\/p>\n
She is wearing a bathrobe.<\/p>\n
That’s handy.<\/p>\n
And she’s shredding.<\/p>\n
That’s not a euphemism.<\/p>\n
And now she’s taken the BIG bar of Cadbury’s Caramel and put it back in the fridge.<\/p>\n
Oh no.<\/p>\n
I am undone.<\/p>\n
That’s not a euphemism either.<\/p>\n
And now she’s gazing at me with her best moo eyes and suggesting we go to bed.<\/p>\n
See you tomorrow!<\/p>\n
p.s. Sunday evenings are weird, aren’t they?<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Half an hour ago Soph said she was going for a bath. Because it is Sunday, obv. Anyway.
