My wife started knitting at Christmas. She even went to a Knitting party where everyone there except her was a scientist. But they all knitted. Predictably, her first task was to knit a Christmas stocking. The thing is, I can't get over how long this shit takes. I mean, I know she’s just a beginner but fucking hell it took like months to knit a boot. And I expect you could buy one for less than the cost of the wool. How long does it take to knock out a pair of socks, Disco?

can of beer pie and another pie
weekend hair cut in morning then probably go and see Blades of Glory film then come back and drink 1. speciality beer 2. cheaper beer with spag carbonara. while structuring my exciting next novel.

It's also got Michelle Gomez in it. I hope for your sake she is an air hostess too. I can't think of anything much sexier than Michelle Gomez as an air hostess. I'm totally going to have to 'put the cat out' in a minute.

socks. yeah well my first sock has taken me a month so far. thats only because at this point noone can explain to me what im doing, how long i should be doing it for, why im doing it, or what it should look like when im finished. when i say sock knitting soothes the soul, what i mean is, its a passable substitute for lying half- naked in bed mewling quietly to yourself until tears run from yor eyes and pool in your ears, about the meaninglessness of your existence and the impossible cruelty of there not being any way to leap forward for a small moment into the future to snatch a glimpse of your own life in the search for actual tangible proof that there is reason to go on- be that a suggestion of at- long- last- perfect- love, or the fleeting sensation of a small damp hand in yours, or a ray of sun so perfect from behind a cloud that you can at last fumblingly define the word 'divine'. it is better than that, but for fear of repeating myself, the betterness is mainly because you end up with a new pair of socks. apparently.

Tamsin Outhwaite always looks like she might smell a bit. Sort of coffee-breath. I think it's that shade of bleached blonde hair - too close to the skintone, or something. Gillian Taylforth's the same. And Tanya thing out of off of Footballers' Wives.

if it were a play about all that but it had the drummer off of the Beatles in it, or the overweight guy off TMO, it could have "Ringo" in the title somewhere.
