Free Time.

Somewhat inexplicibly I find I have some free time on my hands. The project that has taken up so much of my working hours over the last few months has now been finished, agonised over and sent-as of yesterday. The next one does not start until the following week. So now look. Free time.
I should probably be very pleased about this, but frankly having free time at the end of January is not up to much. Everyone else is working, and I feel like I'm playing hooky.
So far today I have dribbled about, read some of the papers while listlessly munching wholewheat toast, played with Puddy, pondered lunch and pondered why anyone would think Jane Goody has a career to begin with. Then I pondered what to do between now and lunch. So far I have come up with nowt.
The paramour has suggested I take this time to relax, kick back, maybe start packing. Right ho.
But apart from that.
I hate daytime television. I could read I suppose, I have a ton of books to catch up with. Then there is the cinema. I don't mind going to the cinema alone, I quite prefer it sometimes, but a quick glance through entertainment.ie shows nothing I would get out of my jammies to go and see.
There's the gym, that should take up a good hour of the day, shouldn't it?
Maybe I'll go into town. I can ring the Spaniard, she's a lady of leisure. Go for lunch, that takes care of lunch. Then there is only four hours or so until knocking off time anyway left to fill. Rinse and repeat until Februrary 1st.
How does Paris Hilton do it?
Ennui, how are ye?

    Ah Jean Ennui, wrote some good plays in his hanging around time. 'Aunty Gone' was one, though I think that was an adaptation of some Greek stiff's work. Mind you his last play was called The Navel so I suppose he ran out of inspiration towards the end.

    I am verr...verrr envious. You are quite right not to turn on the TV during the day. It is a black hole of doom.

    Here's what I'd do: pop out and rent some 'blow shit up/kill people' movies on DVD, buy some white cheddar popcorn and Rioja, and spend the day on the couch, planning a more useful day tomorrow.

  4. Treasure this ennui, fmc. Take this ennui and put it in a golden box then lie and cuddle it on the sofa, with a glass of something grown up. For once the nippers get here all that will dissolve and you will find yourself screaming hollowly to yourself for just a minute, a minute of peace and quiet with no toys to pick up and no laundry to do.

    Congratulations on getting your project done and dusted. Isn't that worth a wee celebration?

    When's the move happening?

  5. I went to town and ate scallop dumplings and soft shell crabs cooked in chilli and garlic, god help anyone who has the misfortune of my breathing on them.
    I also had a mooch around the sales. Velly enjoyable afternoon indeed in the end. Feeling most portly now. I might just lie down with a cat and the latest Vanity Fair.
    Why does Demi Moore never get any older I wonder?

    Plastic surgery and empty-headed, talentless boyfriends barely past the shitting-yellow stage. Demi Moore, that is. Either that or a magic painting (she has to have Bruce Willis store it to stop Ashton drawing a moustache on it).

    As regards the ennui, I'm with Sam. If that uterus is getting antsy, treasure it. I have only enough ennui for work time now. No time at home for such luxuries. Baby Trousers is a demanding taskmistress.

    Hmm it looks like your site ate my first comment (it was super
    long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I had written and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog.
    I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I'm still new to the whole thing. Do you have any tips and hints for inexperienced blog writers? I'd
    really appreciate it.
