Lucinda Wells considering...: Happy New Year: Peace and Love (yes, again)

Today's absurdity

The 1%
George Osborne
Utter incredulity
My headache
Pants
Never did find out what the four sandwiches consisted of
I like 'yesterday's' picture too much to change it so it mucks up the flow
Packing the smallest case for a week
The heat in the city
The total arse who insists on snapping off my wing mirrors
If we're not careful, when we finally run out of loo paper we will discover that we have run out of grass too
Watch this space
Some things are beyond the pale of common sense
Losing half my blog and finding it again
The dynamics of twists and turns - the gift of it
It all
Reading without seeing
Deaf ears in unlikely places
Amber Judd Ashley Rudd
Will I, won't I, will I, won't I
Looking at a Sony e-reader (is that what it's called and will it play tv?)
The green screen on my tv
Seriously considering getting a chinese miniature hamster
The continuous desire to smoke
Losing the front door handle
The telephone
My ultra quick biology lesson
Cleaning my windows
Anger
'No good deed goes unpunished' Aargh
My Humax box
I knew it..I KNEW it...I knew IT
Building the shed
Having to wave the laptop in front of the modem
Inconsistency
Not buying the shelves I saw when I saw them
Choosing which vacuum cleaner to use
Getting the fast train to a siberian outpost

Today's task

Considering
Multi-tasking
To buy a plank towards the rebuilding of part of our heritage
Functioning
Moving a piano
Noooo not another flight
The little details
Getting home
Organising a multitude where the left doesn't know what the right is doing - where are their bosses?
Cleaning and clearing
Proper listening
Watching
Watchful listening
Purposeful Communication
From A to G
Gathering my thoughts about the sound piece
Looking for a parasol
To remain smoke-free
Closing the front door using the letterbox
Weeding
The telephone
Overcoming vertigo
To not implode
Re-sizing
Financial
Encourage the printer to work
Building the shed
Strengthen my arm muscles
To relax
To try and put things somewhere until I get somewhere to put them
Hoovering
To get warm

Today's memorable sight

The glistening surface of the sea
Our burned pier
The aloha crowd
Home
Family
Sylvia lounging on the borrowed sofa
My home and a half moon
The sea, oh the sea...
Capturing the unexpected
A big fat red moon reflecting and flickering in a path toward my window
The thin slip of moon
The tuning
Crowds
Clouds
The sea, the sky, then in the far distance a plane
A chihuahua crossed with a jack russell
Dolphins swimming past my windows - Hurrah
The stripes of pale green, dark blue, grey and blue of the sea and sky
The moon's rays sparkling on a black sea

Wanted

Another website
The Pier
Paint and a long ladder
Everyone to be ok
Infinite patience and a winning smile
The ability to put it all together
Excellent distance
A title for the book...
it all to be so different
A brain that thinks like they do (for understanding where they are coming from)
I'll have that pink one please
A chihuahua crossed with a jack russell - I wonder if I could sneak it into work?
Will power
Long socks
The best answer
A long long handle
More patience and some more energy (please)
Energy
Patience
An iron cream marbled bed
The instructions to build the shed
A 2m upright radiator that looks good e.g. the big one
Shelves
