Wednesday 1st October, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would quite like
\na good night’s
\nsleep<\/p>\n

Thursday 2nd October, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

I saw a deer
\nby the side of the road
\nActually alive
\njust watching me drive past<\/p>\n

Friday 3rd October, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

My eyesight
\nhas about a six inch window
\nin which it can see<\/p>\n

And each eye
\nis about 3 inches out of sync
\nwith the other<\/p>\n

Saturday 4th October, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reading is nice
\nand I should do it
\nmore often<\/p>\n

Sunday 5th October, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cascading
\nerror messages
\nleading to unending
\ncrash loops<\/p>\n

Monday 6th October, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yet another day in which I never left the house (except to get the washing in)<\/p>\n

Tuesday 7th October, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

I wish I was
\na crow<\/p>\n

Wednesday 8th October, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

Christ I’m bored
\nof all this
\nemptiness<\/p>\n

Thursday 9th October, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

We had dinner
\nin the pub<\/p>\n

Saturday 11th October, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

A diet of pancakes
\nand pastry<\/p>\n

Monday 13th October, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ikea is still awful
\neven when you barely go
\ninside<\/p>\n

Wednesday 15th October, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

Waited for a delivery
\nthat never
\narrived<\/p>\n

Thursday 16th October, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sumo is
\nbrilliant<\/p>\n

Friday 17th October, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

My desk is finally finished
\nand I like it
\n(no excuse now
\nfor ever doing nothing)<\/p>\n

Saturday 18th October, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new exhibition
\nat the museum
\nis really very good<\/p>\n

Sunday 19th October, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ll miss the sumo
\nnow it’s gone
\n
\nMonday 20th October, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rain
\nforever<\/p>\n

Tuesday 21st October, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sat at my desk
\nand wrote some words<\/p>\n

Wednesday 22nd October, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dad bought 24 blues CDs
\nfor \u00a32.40
\nin total<\/p>\n

I bought two cans of coke
\nfor \u00a31.84<\/p>\n

Thursday 23rd October, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

There was supposed to be a storm
\nbut there was barely a storm
\nat all<\/p>\n

Saturday 25th October, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

The boy next door
\nhas been squawking
\nlike a crow<\/p>\n

Sunday 26th October, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was cold
\nover the park<\/p>\n

We saw a sparrowhawk
\non the way there<\/p>\n

But not
\non the way back<\/p>\n

Monday 27th October, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

A pumpkin
\nas big as a
\nbeachball<\/p>\n

Tuesday 28th October, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hey!
\nThere’s an arcade here
\nwhich I never even knew
\nwas there<\/p>\n

Thursday 30th October, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everything was irritating
\ntoday<\/p>\n

Friday 31st October, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n
