I'm feeling mildly depressed today. I've got that Red Wine and Promises song going around my head and it's making me feel even more miserable. Could it be the weather is also to blame? It's very grey today. I'm all for slate-grey skies, as I've remarked before, but this is getting out of hand.
So what's getting my goat?
I've had a sore throat for about two weeks. I came home from work sick on Wednesday afternoon, but felt well enough to return on Thursday. Then I had Friday off which I'd booked as holiday, and it was nice and calm. But I'm really tired as well. And I'm having trouble sleeping because it's so hot at night. I'm not a summer person.
Work is not helping.
Mrs F-C breezed back from Finland yesterday and criticized everything I'd done while she was away. She hated the new - albeit dirt cheap but effective - light I'd bought from IKEA, which I braved on Friday. She didn't like the St Elmo's Fire poster (original and rare) I'd put up, nicely framed, above our bed. Whenever she comes back from a trip we always have a falling out as she re-establishes her dominance in the household. At least she thinks she rules. it's better that way. Still, it's always nice to have her back. She'll be fine tonight.
Generally just feeling grim. Looking forward to going on holiday in two weeks. I need to relax.
On another note, I finally watched GBH over the weekend. I liked it a lot, I thought Michael Palin was great. But the whole thing looks very dated now, and all the political stuff didn't help. I suppose it is 16 years old. It could have been done in less parts. I guess the fast pace of today's drama is to blame for that.
I also watched ancient horror classic Dead Of Night, which was great. And there was a very atmospheric thunderstorm going on outside, which really helped to set the mood.
I feel better already.
