In the same day you must: Make orange marmalade. Have the cistern/flusher, whatever, changed. Lose necessary piece of equipment and live precariously without a cistern/ flusher, whatever, for a few hours. Listen to Michael Nyman play the piano all day. Franticly move the laundry inside (twice) due to the heavy rain. Study history with your son to prepare for next day’s exam. Make carrot soup. Buy your son 3 pairs of socks for 10.00 Euros at the supermarket. Check for elasticity and a tight knit. Spread the fun at the bus stop where you are soaking wet, carrying shopping bags and shouting abuse to taxi drivers who don’t take you home.

FIRST. I WIN I WIN!!!!

Speaking of Nyman though, I’m reminded of The Piano. Sucky movie but a wonderful theme song.
October 30th, 2006 at 6:05 pm
Wow that’s alot for living the Rock and Roll life!..Btw Happy Halloween..< not sure if u celebrate in Greece>
October 30th, 2006 at 7:23 pm
You and I should go on tour, Chloe. Your act sounds a lot like mine.
October 30th, 2006 at 7:36 pm
You are too wild and crazy for me…I had to lie down. But it is nice.
October 30th, 2006 at 8:23 pm
It still sounds like a great day: Rain, music, family time and more rain…..
Happy halloween!

I prescribe a day in the tub for you tomorrow; all day, emersed in chocolate suds (you know what I mean). Until Stephanie comes, that is. And when I come, I want no fuss. I will simply show up in a basket on your doorstep, unannounced. Kay?
Good luck on your test, dear boy!
October 31st, 2006 at 12:11 am
Lovely photo and a full, energized day. I’m tired imagining it!
October 31st, 2006 at 2:09 am
Don’t forget the hotel room trashing that happened between the soup and the history test.
October 31st, 2006 at 3:11 am
That sounds like a diverting rock ‘n roll day
better than sitting in the office all day long *bit of a yawn* 
October 31st, 2006 at 5:17 am
oooh, bad to the bone…
I’m living on the edge too. Talking (English, at least) on msn and translating
October 31st, 2006 at 6:17 am
oh a real rok n roll…
October 31st, 2006 at 6:33 am
Ahh, didn’t I tell you before? You do too much! And you certainly rock…and you roll too…there’s a lot of physical activity there
Probably not very elastic though…hmmm
Could 10 euros be considered cheap for 3 pairs of socks? I’m checking my supermarket online and you can buy 3 pairs for 3,99
October 31st, 2006 at 7:46 am
OHHH living on the edge!!
3 pair of socks isnt a good deal on socks, is it? LOL
October 31st, 2006 at 7:59 am
Oh - I hate bus stops in the rain. 5 go by in the other direction while you wait for just one to pick up the 200 people who have been waiting in the rain for an hour.
See you soon!
October 31st, 2006 at 9:20 am
That rock star life is going to be the end of you. I suggest you learn to slow down a little and hang with us mere mortals.
October 31st, 2006 at 9:39 am
Now that is the most perfect day -
I rarely get a chance to shout
abuse at taxi drivers -
i’m coming to visit just for that.
And dashing around in the rain?
Potential for romance:)
(just like a Bollywood movie)

heidi

wcdixon

cisco

Cathy

stephanie

ardent

i mean why yawn when you have a computer?
scholiast

amit
i’ve had the best teachers: my parents -very wild- and my friends.
devil
i don’t know! they were in the offers/sales area. You are so right! i was ripped off.

Let’s hope these socks are going to last till he is married Gina.
xx
stephanie

walter
i can’t Wally, the fans won’t let me. This is the kind of thing they expect you know. And how am i going to feed the gossip columns if i don’t make soup and call the plumber?
sophie

October 31st, 2006 at 2:17 pm
I am very much in love with your writing!
November 1st, 2006 at 8:47 am
You’re so much fun it’s disgusting. The best Micheal Nyman soundtrack movie is Ravenous.
Hey! My parents are going to Greece next week! I told them to wave at you.
November 1st, 2006 at 11:31 am
love the pic, chloe!
November 1st, 2006 at 1:17 pm
I love the rock and roll lifestyle, and your post is the proof of this. Way to go, socks with good elastic, and the other small pleasures of the well-thought out life.
November 1st, 2006 at 5:02 pm
Hardly enough time in the day to even take a leak, hence the wet floor.
Sorry bad joke, I know you’re in complete control.
November 1st, 2006 at 8:13 pm
Any rock and roll lifestyle that doesn’t involve courses of antibiotics and cold turkey are fine by me. I’ve often wanted to ask a rock and roll star what hot turkey is but I think they’ll just look at me, all confused.
November 1st, 2006 at 11:03 pm
No guitars?
November 2nd, 2006 at 2:13 am
And the requisite intoxicating substance was ???
November 2nd, 2006 at 7:43 am
Lucky you, got to play out in the rain all day!!
November 3rd, 2006 at 8:31 pm
Grin…I love orange marmalade!
November 6th, 2006 at 10:11 am
you just described my life,too.
Only buys sneakers, not socks.
Get reminded from other son that he needs sneakers, too.
Run after bus who blew past the bus stop.
Get everyone fed and ready for bed so you can get to the club before band (that hasn’t played in months) starts.
November 9th, 2006 at 8:31 am
I finished your orange marmalade just before leaving Scotland - it was delicious! Thank you again for the lovely present!
