I was tagged by Claire to take part in this, the day she chose was yesterday, a very boring but fairly typical day for me. No piccies as a) there wasn’t much of note to photograph and b) I needed the batteries for the xbox controller. Priorities.

8am (ish). Wake up. Have the briefest of discussions about a weird dream with AB before he slopes off to the living room as he has to work. Contemplate getting out of bed but instead reach for a book. Lie in state for another two and a half hours.

10.30am. Get out of bed as I can smell AB frying eggs in the kitchen. Laze on couch with my fried egg roll and cup of tea. It’s piddling down outside. AB informs me it is the perfect gaming day. He’s right. I spend the next two hours playing Fallout 3 while he labours over his laptop next to me.

12.30pm. Decide I better go get washed. Emerge from a long shower smelling considerably sweeter but strangely sleepy. It’s still raining so get on with some tidying, ironing and general pottering about.

1.30pm. Tummy is rumbling again but the cupboards are fairly bare. Plump for beans on toast for lunch. It fills a considerable hole. Bother Charlie for a while. He plays along for a bit before curling up on the couch.

3.15pm (ish) Bring my crafting tray through to the living room and flick through the channels for something to watch. Most pleased when I see The Vikings has just started. Make some bracelets and chortle at film.

5.30pm. The rain has stopped and AB has finished working so we decide to go out for a walk. Ramble through the park, up through Park Circus and down to woodlands Road so AB can look at the purty cars in the window of the garage. Hoof it back along Sauchiehall Street.

6.30pm. Returning from our walk we decide foraging in the cupboards when we get home is too much hard work and nip into Kokuryo for dinner. I have mackerel (oily fish=good) but can’t help staring at what appears to be a basin full of chilli and seafood in front of AB. See people walking by outside with Twisters. Nip along to Tesco after eating where we buy Twister lollies for pudding.

8.30pm. Finish reading House of Leaves and start reading The Tenderness of Wolves. Distracted from book by Britain’s Got Talent.

10.00pm. Despite my long lie-in, I’m starting to fall asleep on the couch.

10.45pm. Wake up. AB is watching Red Dragon. An argument about whether we have already watched this begins.

11.20pm. Wake up. AB has fallen asleep. Charlie is snoring loudly.

11.45pm. Time for sleepytime Mr Bubbles.
