down down down down.

Today there has been waking up to find snow on the ground and my iPod, which was lying by the open window, so cold its batteries had almost gone flat, chocolate tea (from Teapigs, a fine idea in theory and quite good in practice, but I think the base tea they use is too malty), "The Turn of the Screw" in bed, going for a run along the Strays in the sun and melting snow and having my path blocked by an enormous, shaggy-pelted brown cow (actually it had horns, so I suppose it was a bull, but it was placid), copyediting an essay for one of my housemates and being given cookies as a reward, four hours of queer theory, the massive cognitive disconnect brought on by having "I Kissed A Girl" by Katy Perry (yes I own that song, what of it) turn up on my iPod shuffle after four hours of queer theory, dinner comprised of avocado, egg and pasta (sort of blandly delicious mixed together), further chocolate tea in the company of my library buddy, a lot of Brideshead Revisited analogies, some actual reading aloud of Brideshead Revisited, and, now, the Florence and the Machine cover of "I'm Going Down" on repeat.

I have so much reading to do tomorrow that no mortal could possibly accomplish it. But I'm pretty happy.

Nej, det är inte innehav av horn som skiljer tjurar från kor.
f.ö: så trevligt att höra om vad Du har för Dej. Lycka till med essän !Och choklad i te - kan det nånsin vara en god idé?
Ingen snö här än.

Bra att veta att kor kan ha horn, det känns lite tryggare. Jag är nästan i mål med essän, jag kan skicka den när den är färdig om ni vill. MoK E.
