| | So, no holiday - but we are purchasing a new car. Now, for if you knew me, you'd know what a fucking pain this is for me. I hate cars. I think people waste too much money on them and that they just fucking ruin the look of a pretty decent planet (on the whole). I flat refuse to have a car each for me and my wife - I think it's fucking excessive and I'd feel really guilty, but it is a necessary evil as our old Renault Clio which has done 145,000 miles has more or less given up the ghost. The exhaust fell off on Friday and we drove it to Kwik Fit like the bloody Keystone cops - 2mph with metal scraping tarmac the entire way.
So, we're getting a new Clio, and Andrea (my wife) has got a little carried away. What was a hunt for something quite old that we could run to death has turned to a hunt for something a little bit more of a treat... well, it's wasted on me, but by next week we should be driving something a little bit more peppier (and by that I don't mean speedy, just that it stays in one piece when you go over 50mph).
Other news. Nope, still waiting on results for several submissions. I have one submission ready for a film related anthology. my piece is based on the films of David Cronemberg, but I'm having trouble finding the energy to write a small synopsis which is required by the editors.
Sign the contracts on the house today, and in 10 days from now the dosh will be ours and we can move to the Welsh coast.
The weekend saw us break last week's promise never to drink again... and I got bloody arseholed at the pub. Maybe the countryside will do us some good - although I believe they have alcohol there too.
Shit.
Watched Poirot last night and envied his moustache.
The end.
