Boxing day
So then. I said to Graham a little while back: ”Has anything exciting or exceptionally amusing happened today? Or even mildly amusing?”
“How do you mean?”
“Oh, you know, some key or other to start a journal entry.”
“Well, in that case, no. Unless you count the lost fire appliance.”
“That wasn’t exciting. Or amusing. And, anyway, I didn’t see it.”
“Well, there you are then.”
I sat and thought for a while. Then: ”I honestly don’t think I have a journal entry in me today. Beyond:
Boxing day.
Chicken pickings for lunch.
Roast ham joint for dinner.
The Tudors and Stargate for TV.”
“Most people would say that’s pretty good for Boxing Day.”
“Okay. I give up.”
