Last night I got back from Nuneaton having discovered, by chance, that it is at almost the exact geographical centre of England. W00t! HWMBO was seeing a departing co-worker off, and didn’t manage to get home until 9 pm! So instead of home-cooked duck we had Indian food at the shopping centre. Back home and to bed, warmly and with a fan.
This morning we had cereal instead of toast because we forgot to buy any bread yesterday…such an exciting life we lead. We went to Tate Modern this afternoon to see the Cy Twombly exhibition. We got separated inside it, and I thought HWMBO was behind me when he was actually in front of me. I sat there until I got a phone call in the middle of the exhibit (very embarrassing). I rushed through the rest of the rooms, which didn’t annoy me too much as I have trouble appreciating Twombly. I suspect I didn’t miss much.
We then had a drink at Starbucks, and walked to Waterloo Station so that HWMBO could get some cake for himself from Marks and Spencers. They didn’t have the exact kind of cake he wanted, so he got strawberry cheesecake. I won’t be having any…
Duck, corn-on-the-cob, and carrots for dinner. I then started ripping massive amounts of CDs to my new iPod and HWMBO is watching Ugly Betty. We have also discovered that there’s a problem with our Sky (either the antenna or the box). We don’t pay for maintenance, so I expect we’ll be paying a bundle for someone to come out. However, it should be less of a bundle than if we paid a maintenance fee.
Tomorrow I’m preaching at St. John’s, then vegging. Need to buy train tickets for Brighton Pride next Saturday, and for Nuneaton all week.
We always keep a few slices of bread and bagels or english (american?) muffins in the freezer as “emergency bread”.
We do too, usually, but we’re fresh out. Lots of new bagels and bread yesterday made up for it. Oatibix wasn’t too bad.
Leicester is also pretty central.
Nuneaton used to have possibly the only free-standing condom vending machine I am told.
