Cheesecake and The Yellow Sky

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to Sunday`s edition of my Scribbles.  I awoke this morning to a yellowish glow coming through the curtains,  very odd.  I got up and peeped outside to find that it was raining heavily, to put it mildly.  Thunder was rumbling around and I thought after yesterday`s weather forecast it was in for the day.  AOL Weather said so and they are always right as you all know...lol!  Anyway, once the rain stopped half an hour later the sun came out and has stayed that way since then and it is quite hot too.  I want it to stay that way, at least until after my interview, I am always at my best when the sun shines, after that it can do its worst!

                                        

Jim is working on late shift today, not something I enjoy on a Sunday.  Goodness knows why it makes a difference, maybe it`s because it`s so much quieter outside, I just don`t know.  He`s just called me from work saying that it`s really hot working on the runway and that he`s hungry because he was asked to go in early, consequently missing his lunch.  Not to worry though as he was digging into his sandwiches a bit earlier than usual so he won`t go hungry.

                     

Last night there was a knock at the door, I looked out of the window and there was Danny.  He told me he had come bearing gifts and that it was only a flying visit so I rushed to the door to see what he`d got.  There he was dressed in cropped combat trousers and flip flops with a big grin on his face, holding a vanilla cheesecake from Sainsburys and a book on EXCEL.  I felt really touched the book, he knew I wanted to learn more about EXCEL and he`d borrowed from a chap at work for a couple of months in exchange for several  CD`s that he wanted to borrow!  I didn`t have the heart to tell him that I`d lost the program when the computer crashed and haven`t been able to got hold of another copy as yet.  Anyway, the cheesecake more than made up for that and I was looked forward to tucking in after Dan had gone.  He and Salina have been looking for a new car and have been scouring the surrounding countryside for the right one.  He has been very sensible and refuses to go over budget despite having seen some really good models that cost a bit more.  That`s my boy, I taught him well!

                        

I meant to tell you the other day that I`ve finished planting out the winter pansies and some are in flower already.  I`m sure the combination of rain and sun we`ve had lately has brought them on.  I only hope the pansies and the other plants that have recently gone in will stay there as Jake has just dug up a petunia that still had a good bit of life left in it.  I was rather cross with him I can tell you, he`s obviously been paying far too much attention to Marshal and that will never do...lol!  Talking of which, Marshal will be back with us sometime next week I think....I`m sure I`ll cope...at least I hope so!

                    

This evening there is a new production of Jane Eyre on the TV, at least the TV guide says it is.  I told Jim that I was sure I`ve seen it before but he insisted it is the first time it`s been shown...hmmm, we shall see.  Anyway, time to read some journals before I prepare myself some dinner and take Jake for a stroll.  Have a great day and Bye Bye for now. :o)

 

It's not easy to be as great as I am

Celebrity is a pretty stunning thing. At first I was like 'They love me! Oh, I love them, too.' And suddenly, I was tap-dancing on my pedestal and it was whack! Facedown in the dirt.

It really isn't anybody's business how many people we have working for us. What's offensive is that I'm portrayed as this prima donna with these sycophants telling me how great I am all the time Yes, they do work for me, but we're working together for a higher good.

There are, I think, three countries left in the world where I can go and I'm not as well-known as I am here. I'm a pretty big star, folks - I don't have to tell you. Superstar, I guess you could say.

I've sold too many books to get good reviews anymore. There's a lot of jealousy, because [reviewers] think they can write a good novel or a best-seller and get frustrated when they can't. I've learned to despise them.

Just because you like my stuff doesn't mean I owe you anything.

My only regret in the theater is that I could never sit out front and watch me.
