Entry for 16th December, 2007

It is amazing how relaxed I feel now that the proof reading is over, and I don't have anything in my diary outside work. Proof reading is like banging your head off a brick wall - it is great when you stop and they cart you off to hospital where you can spend six months recuperating from the head injuries/stress related illnesses (delete as appropriate).
In addition to playing computer games, i have also retrieved my guitar from the loft. Imagine the delight on the face of my Significant Other as I emerged from the attic clutching my badly tuned Yamaha (no - that is not a euphemism for anything). Can you imagine how she smiled encouragingly at me?
It seems surprising that she did not come through to the living room while I strummed out some old favourites. Instead, she retreated to the kitchen after firmly closing at least two doors. I expect she did not want to interrupt the muse. She is thoughtful that way. I may write a little song for her, just o show her how much she is appreciated. I will play it to her early one morning, so that she is awoken from her slumbers by my sweets singing.
See - I am thoughtful too.
