How odd is reading?
When you think about it, I mean. We write down odd symbols and other people look at those odd symbols and they make sense, create a conversation or a picture.They can move us to tears, make us laugh, make us understand someone else's life, make us angry.
Odd little symbols which reach across time and space and enter other people's minds. Poetry - literature - a scribbled handwritten note through your door - newspaper headlines -
Sometimes we have to read them two or three times to take in the message. Most of the time, though, the message is immediate. The odd symbols have done their job.
To jest, tylko kiedy czytamy cos, ze nie ma zadnego sensu w ogóle ze nawet zdajemy sobie sprawe, to robimy.*
*It's only when we read something that doesn't make any sense at all that we even realize we are reading. To a Pole, that's the first sensible thing I've said.

RUN
Back in twenty with a walked dog.
How about this new restaurant in London...you have to be totally starkers....they are fully booked for months ahead...would you have the nerve....
Nah.....the neighbours would see you.....your co-workers would see you......
It's only half as warm here, and I only out on clothes if I really have to.
Biff, it had to be S&M ice cream due to the blog you won it on
Whipped vanilla is perfectly acceptable. I still, however, don't see any ice-cream.
No, I am not a nag. I don't easily lose track of the point, though.
It'll disappear.
Dinner with Mr Whippy. How am I going to explain this one away?
Sundays are the worst...if you want to sneeze....rush inside....
I may just take photographs.
Okay, I could also have visitors, the way this is starting to look, but they'll have to sleep
with mein my room. This is almost too good to miss.Or they could sleep in the front garden. The back is still slightly alarming. So much for getting everything done today, now it is raining. What more could get in the way? Take me now!
Er, I said that on my blog, right? where it would be safe?
Words. Tricky things.
Which means I've got to take the dog out walking in the rain
I'll have to turn the hair dryer on the freezer too.
1st world problems
And I turned the dial to zero and now I can't remember what it should be at this time of the year.
Work is me.
Autocarrot rules ...
It's certainly odd that reading can turn out into the various merits of kitchen hygiene and freezer excess ice removal practices along with portions of Mr. Whippy.
Would anyone care for a bacon and tomato toastie while we wait?
Nom nom nom
YUM
That Map...was exceptional.....yummy.....
Now i've enjoyed a virtual bacon sarnie....my tummy is full.....(great diet guys).....
Well, semi-real
I am doing a big shop tomorrow, so in the non-cooking variety of food, I only have bread and cheese
It's better than nothing
Here you can do practically anything on a Sunday that you can do a weekday.
No excess noise allowed...ie..lawnmowers, drills etc....
No washing of cars.....
I'm so glad I changed my bio to read "tall men" and "must know how to spell" the quality of my mail has - okay, not changed at all. I have no idea why men of 5'7 or less find me irresistible, while men taller than me pass by without a second glance.
It is only offices, doctors, etc., are closed on Sundays here.
It's business as normal otherwise.
