I've not been outside all day...

not even looked out the window to get some fresh air. This weather and everything else can get to you.
I'm convinced we've been jinxed. Someone put a spell on us, my half Polish grandmother would confirm that no problem (if she were still alive). First, it was the leaking roof, then the bust boiler, then the Internet and phone were were down for days, then it was the car (and do we miss it!) and now it's our main computer that won't start up. My boyfriend's got all his photography and webdesign stuff on there, and the bloody thing refuses to come on!

Laika the Soviet space dog
I've been trying all day to write a poem about Laika, the Soviet space dog, so I can send it to this poetry competition and win £100 towards our holidays in August, but I just cannot come up with owt. I kept scribbling, striking out, re-writing, and ended up watching a marathon of "Come dine with me".
I just cannot write without the TV or radio on in the background. Complete silence won't let me concentrate. But I feel bad that I've not been outside all day and wasted my time hanging around on the sofa trying to do sensible bits here and there, but all in al it was another wasted gloomy Sunday.

But hey, "The fabulous life of Paris Hilton" is on in a bit, so yet again the evening is saved!
