"Because of the self-confidence with which he had spoken, no one could tell whether what he said was very clever or very stupid." (Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace).I started my annual reading of War and Peace again. Whenever I do, I find something else to wonder at among its yellowed and well-read pages. One of my favourite classics of all time - not for the faint hearted, but certainly a marvel. Every single time.
And, I dragged Dex out of bed this morning. I have the uncanny knack of waking him up - at all hours. I'm actually kind of proud of it (if you've ever tried to wake Dex up, you'd know why). He was moaning and groaning and making all kinds of excuses, but I think it was the persistent 5year old in me who won out in the end. To his credit, I said, "Meet you in 10minutes", and when I turned onto his road, he was already walking towards me. He's quite pleasant company once he's up. Let's see how well he does tomorrow morning. We're trying to make a habit of these morning jogs.
Also, I have a head ache. I'm not sure why - I haven't suffered with one of these in a long, long time. It's hit me right on my forehead. Sort of like a dry pounding that won't go away. Wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that I barely got my fix of Ordinary Guy this week? Withdrawal symptoms. Oh yeah, that must be it.
