Excerpts from my diary (October 2025)

Wednesday 1st October, 2025

I would quite like
a good night’s
sleep

Thursday 2nd October, 2025

I saw a deer
by the side of the road
Actually alive
just watching me drive past

Friday 3rd October, 2025

My eyesight
has about a six inch window
in which it can see

And each eye
is about 3 inches out of sync
with the other

Saturday 4th October, 2025

Reading is nice
and I should do it
more often

Sunday 5th October, 2025

Cascading
error messages
leading to unending
crash loops

Monday 6th October, 2025

Yet another day in which I never left the house (except to get the washing in)

Tuesday 7th October, 2025

I wish I was
a crow

Wednesday 8th October, 2025

Christ I’m bored
of all this
emptiness

Thursday 9th October, 2025

We had dinner
in the pub

Saturday 11th October, 2025

A diet of pancakes
and pastry

Monday 13th October, 2025

Ikea is still awful
even when you barely go
inside

Wednesday 15th October, 2025

Waited for a delivery
that never
arrived

Thursday 16th October, 2025

Sumo is
brilliant

Friday 17th October, 2025

My desk is finally finished
and I like it
(no excuse now
for ever doing nothing)

Saturday 18th October, 2025

The new exhibition
at the museum
is really very good

Sunday 19th October, 2025

I’ll miss the sumo
now it’s gone

Monday 20th October, 2025

Rain
forever

Tuesday 21st October, 2025

Sat at my desk
and wrote some words

Wednesday 22nd October, 2025

Dad bought 24 blues CDs
for £2.40
in total

I bought two cans of coke
for £1.84

Thursday 23rd October, 2025

There was supposed to be a storm
but there was barely a storm
at all

Saturday 25th October, 2025

The boy next door
has been squawking
like a crow

Sunday 26th October, 2025

It was cold
over the park

We saw a sparrowhawk
on the way there

But not
on the way back

Monday 27th October, 2025

A pumpkin
as big as a
beachball

Tuesday 28th October, 2025

Hey!
There’s an arcade here
which I never even knew
was there

Thursday 30th October, 2025

Everything was irritating
today

Friday 31st October, 2025

There was nothing scary
about halloween
