Sheepishly, last night, I admitted to the GF the existence of this blog. Though I did not admit just how long it has existed, but allowed him to discover it for himself. So, hello, my first and only confirmed reader (other than myself). I shall pretend you do not exist.
He also pointed out that GF is the standard abbreviation for girlfriend, which had not previously occurred to me.
Anyhow. Did a lot of scrubbing today, and this is a good argument for having a very small flat if one does not have cleaners, much though I would like a lavish abode. Also, however, I would like an army of cleaners and someone to make my tea as I like it.
Went out for coffee and were thwarted twice – first at the usual place, with average coffee but a nice place and very close to our flat, so suitable for hot working days. Then at a more distant cafe attached to a gallery which we were turned away from the one previous time we tried. Not turned away exactly, but told that the waiting list was 2 hours long. Amazing, that people wait that long. The third attempt was at a neighbourhood place with an interior that seemed to have accreted rather than been decorated, but quite decent coffee and a moderately comfortable table. Here, we discoursed about the I Ching, being a civilised and worldly pair.
