… their girls will play.  The title (or something close to) to a lesbian porn I saw once.  Charming.

My husband has gone away for a few days, to Liverpool to watch the Everton/Villareal match.  It’s a big game and he’s excited, but he’s acting a bit put off about having to travel and stay for two nights without me.  Which I find entirely endearing,  but I just can’t imagine having two nights in a hotel and thinking that I didn’t want to be alone.  Enjoy it!  It never happens.  All though,  since he works at nights and doesn’t usually have Duncan detail,  it’s probably not quite as thrilling. 

Duncan and I just went for a walk/bike ride on the cliff paths on the south of the island.  It’s absolutely gorgeous,  it’s clear enough today that I could see France.  We had an ice cream and saw an old woman walking four little tiny terrier dogs,  she bought one ice cream for herself and another for the dogs,  which she spoon fed.  There was a middle aged man on the bicycle path that kept taunting Duncan.  The first time he passed he said,  “You are going to have to go faster than that kid”  as we were going up a hill.  I was pretty impressed that the bike was moving forward at all and not rolling back down the hill.  Then  he stopped,  Duncan and I caught up and passed him and he said,  “My bike is bigger than yours!”  A tongue sticking out would not have been amiss with the tone of his voice.  The man was OLD.  My son is THREE.  Duncan paid absolutely no attention to him,  but I was unimpressed.  I glared and was so shocked by it that I didn’t say anything.  What do you say to someone that says his bike is bigger than a three year olds.  No shit, Sherlock.

The other day I went to a book sale and got 16 books for �5!  Five!  Pounds!  For sixteen books! Hurrah!  I would have bought more,  but I physically couldn’t carry anymore.  Duncan had a pile in his lap,  I was kicking the stroller along and my arms were full.  Everyone else seemed to be only buying one or two.  That very idea baffles me,  where there are books for 30-50p each,  why would you buy ONE?
