It’s 07.43 Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

I’m only awake because the wind (outside!) woke me; blowing a gale, rain lashing against the windows.<\/p>\n

And I needed a wee.<\/p>\n

You know I was knackered yesterday afternoon?<\/p>\n

Well today I’m still knackered.<\/p>\n

I know going cross country schooling with Vin at Lincomb would have taken a lot out of me, but the hectic world that Soph and I inflict on ourselves added to the burden.<\/p>\n

When she got in from work (by the way, have you read her brilliant rant about the twunts who go to the library<\/a>?) she found me watching Back To The Future.<\/p>\n

Asleep.<\/p>\n

Not even ‘resting my eyes’, I was full-on out of it.<\/p>\n

I even missed the immortal line “Make like a tree… get out of here”.<\/p>\n

Arse.<\/p>\n

But then things really kicked in and we went in to full party mode.<\/p>\n

I got on the phone to Pizza Hut and Soph sat on the couch, looked beautiful and alluring in a gorgeous, desirable way and blogged – because she didn’t want to rant at me<\/p>\n

Bless.<\/p>\n

And the TV stayed on.<\/p>\n

We have FreeView (Freeview? However it’s cased to appear) and that gives us 23 channels to choose from.<\/p>\n

So in honour of those 23 channels we watched just one: ITV1 to be precise…<\/p>\n

Animals Do The Funniest Things (I really watched just for the equine-related subjects. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it)<\/p>\n

Celebrity Mr & Mrs (this programme is really really really is really really really shit. But it did the job while Pizza Hut-delivered products were received and consumed)<\/p>\n

Britain’s Got Talent (car crash television for those who don’t want to think. And neither of us wanted to think last night) was followed by<\/p>\n

Half of an episode of Pushing Daisies.<\/p>\n

Because at around 21.30 I couldn’t cope any longer,.<\/p>\n

I slurred (because of tiredness!) that I was going to bed and lurched my way upstairs – my mental and physical faculties already closing down around me, much like HAL’s processes closed down in 2001: A Space Odyssey.<\/p>\n

I tried to read but couldn’t pick up Clarkson J.<\/p>\n

Soph followed me upstairs and performed a strip-tease that was sexually arousing and comedic in almost equal measures.<\/p>\n

I wonder if anyone has developed a funny girl striptease?\u00c2\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Then she went in to the bathroom to ablute and clean teeth and I can’t remember anything else.<\/p>\n

Curses.<\/p>\n

I think I could have been in there and I blew it.<\/p>\n

Or didn’t blew it.<\/p>\n

You choose.<\/p>\n

And now it’s 08.00.<\/p>\n

I’m going to finish what I’m doing, have a shower and a shave and clean my teeth and commit the wickedest of household sins…<\/p>\n

Sneak back in to bed and cuddle up to my wife.<\/p>\n
