I've had a rather strange day. I've been out of sorts. Defensive. If I was a small animal, my fur would be standing up on end. I don't suppose it helped that I was in work for 7.30am. Considering I am usually still asleep at this time during the week, this was quite painful. Especially after a busy week of little sleep and a fair amount of alcohol. I got back to my flat utterly drained and exhausted. It was a beautiful day outside, but I decided to hibernate. Then realised that perhaps what I needed to do was to go home. So that's what I did. 50mins later and I was curled up on my the sofa at my parents. And what Saturday night entertainment did we have? The Joesph competition. In a similar way to "Finding Maria", or whatever it was called, Graham Norton hosts this talent competition... to find the perfect Joseph. It was the semi-finals this week: the last chance for Andrew Lloyd Webber to save one of the two least popular candidates. Next week it is the final... my money is on Lee. He's pretty fit, manly, and has a fantastic voice. My point is, that when this series began my Mother said, "oh I'm not goig to watch that sort of thing again". Famous last words! For one, we had to be in position to watch the show. Second, my ironing (yes, I took two shirts home to be ironed by my Mum's super iron) had to be done in the break between the competition and the results. Third, and rather alarmingly, my Father has an opinion on who should win. His comments are restricted from the exreme of "he's too much like a woman" or "he's good". Conisdering my father is profoundly deaf, this is rather entertaining. He admits to liking Denise Van Outen though, and also said he prefered the "Maria" competition: "I prefered the one with the women". Do men ever grow up?! So there we are. That was my evening. I voted too. Twice. I can't believe both my Mother and I voted! What else? Oh, I stole a bottle of wine, grabbed some post and got a much-needed hug (although, to be fair Ollie had provided me with a wonderful verbal hug earlier). So that's that. Just what I needed to do. I'm now back in London since I need to work early tomorrow, and visit my cousin. Maybe I'll have a day off one day this week. Oh, and my DVD player appears to have died. I'll have to wait until next month to replace that one!
