Today it is raining so I'm having a writing day

But first, here are some things I like.


Breakfast: toast - wholegrain, Vogels or homemade, slathered with mayonnaise and wholegrain mustard, with two free-range freshly poached (slightly runny) eggs, spread out to make the yolk run over, with sea salt and cracked pepper, with juice, or milo.


Broccoli. I love broccoli. Mushrooms. I love mushrooms too. I love tomato red lentil soup and vegetarian lentil nachos. I like to make both of these and eat them with lots of sour cream and parmesan cheese and warm toasty homemade bread.


I like beautiful films. I love Amelie. I love Amelie because it is a treat for the eyes (So beautifully filmed!) and I have fallen in love with the characters, their quirks. I love that I have some of those quirks. I like to tip everything out and order it all back again. I love cool clever camera movements and I wish I could make films like Jean-Pierre Jeunet. I like the sound of French, and I'm trying to decide between learning Spanish and French.


I love water, and views and plants. I am going to buy a plant for my bedroom.


I am realising I like structure more than I thought I did. I like having a workday, and a restnight. I like poetry about the relationships between people. I like wood. I like mihis and I like chapels.


I like purified water. I like bibles covered in writing, and underlining. I like handwritten messages in the fronts of books. I like maps. I like ambient music. I like Dr. Seuss's 'Oh the places you will go!' I like wisdom and I like wise people. I like to soak up their words. 


I like brown and I like red. Brown and red are my favourite colours, especially when together. I like red lips and I like eyes. I like fairy lights and I like lights reflecting off the water. I would rather be cold in a coat than be dying of heat in a t-shirt.


I like how I grew up. I like coming to conclusions that make me feel at peace. I like visits to the chiropractor and I like wondering about faces. I like to wonder about the man next door and I like to tell stories. I like beautiful violins. I like hearing Alice play the violin.


 I like putting myself in boxes and then comparing the boxes and realising how different they are so they cannot be all right and then realising they all are helpful for understanding the whole but cannot be fully relied on.


See! See! I like thought trains like the one above. I like going to class in a good frame of mind. If I go awake, fed and with a good attitude I almost always will find it interesting. Even high school science and maths. I like that I find almost the whole world interesting.


I really really like beeswaxing my shoes and I really really like wearing clothes or shoes until they die. I like prolonging the lives of belongings. I really really like reading old newspapers, because I will love every article and peruse the words. 


That is enough for now. I like myself. I like writing, and refining. So I shall go write and refine.
