<html> <head> <title>Sunday's entry</title> </head> <body> <p> Half way through the weekend and the pile of unwashed clothes was looking only slightly less accusingly large, mind you, it snowed yesterday. Doesn't the weather know it's May? The monkey puzzle tree now has a light coating of white - any moment now I'm going to forget myself and sit an angel on to of it. <p> The more it snows<br> (Tiddley pom)<br> The more it goes<br> (Tiddley Pom)<br> The more it goes<br> (Tiddley Pom)<br> On snowing <p> And nobody knows<br> (Tiddley pom)<br> How cold my toes<br> (Tiddley pom)<br> How cold my toes<br> (Tiddley pom)<br> Are growing <p> Resisting the urge to go carol singing, I went to <a name="club">the club</a> in the evening. There I met Gerald, a small, dark fellow with poor eyesight and a black velvet jacket. <p> A good night was had by all, and I walked home as it was getting light, lyrics from <cite>Bar Italia</cite> running through my mind: <p> That's what you get for clubbing it<br> You can't go home and go to bed<br> Because it hasn't worn off yet...<br> <p> Then I faced the inevitable and unwelcome fact that it was now <a href="Mon.html">Monday</a>, and I now had no right to be writing on this page. In fact, thinking about it, most of the night's activity - including, more than likely, Gerald - truly belongs to tomorrow's entry. <p> Do I care? <p> Do you care? <p> And if you do care, do I care that you care? <p> Do I care that <em>I</em> care? <p> Or am I just filling in with enough space that the link to <a href="#club">the club</a> is sufficiently far up the screen that it can be noticed? <p> Here is a link back to the <a href="../Index.html">May index</a> and to the <a href="../../Index.html">index for the whole diary</a>. If you're interested in last month, go to <a href="../../April/Index.html">April's index</a>. </body> </html>
