Another Saturday night, near midnight - and I'm hovering between being over-tired, and wide awake. I guess that comes from a pretty solid 2-hour afternoon nap (noisy kids outside notwithstanding).
I've started emails to a few people numerous times, and discarded them. Don't want to send smatterings of nothing to clutter up anyone's inbox and simply irritate them, and most stuff I could say perhaps shouldn't be. I've considered chatting up random strangers on Skype - and decided it's a bad idea. Even left mine on full visibility (usually invisible) to see if anyone would chat me up - no luck... :-) I've looked at stuff online, and gotten bored. I updated a few blogs, but not much to say - so of course I'm blogging a lack of things to say here, which is kinda ironic.
The kid's watching "Startrek Enterprise", and I could be doing that too - but am just not in the mood. There's nothing worth spending time on that the TV has to offer. I could be doing tomorrow's work - the weekly load/s of washing, some ironing, a bit of gardening (tomato seeds and kraalmis waiting to be grounded). I could be irritating the neighbours by tinkering with Oliva, revving her up and driving her around a bit - but I'm the considerate type.
Outside all is quiet, except for the sound of Cape Eagle Owls and the occasional screech of a Barn Owl. The nightjars have yet to make their summer appearance - or perhaps it's not warm enough a night for them. Thank goodness the piet-my-vrou has shut up and gone to bed. There's still a chill in the air, a bit of mist hanging around, leftovers from today's ocean of fog.
Inside one dog snores happily on my toes, keeping them warm. He's been a bit ill, so good to see he's looking better. The other dog attempted a coup while he was sick, which didn't work - he perked up enough to reclaim his place and put down the uprising.
I'm not one to hang out in bars or such. The car's a bit low on petrol, so am not going anywhere anyway. Most of my friends are probably already in bed - many being of the "young family" variety. I got an early start on the family thing, so am at a different stage in life.
In short, there's not a heck of a lot going on here!
Yup, just another typical Saturday night in my house... :-)
