1 November - To do list

I don't make them... I occasionally print daypages (at the w/end usually) of my Outlook diary with various notes/reminders. Then stick the pages in my handbag and promptly never look at them till ... the day has passed and I conduct a sort of useless post mortem of 'look, was meant to call Susie on Saturday. Oh look, had planned to go see Exhbition x,y,z on Sunday... ah well, didn't. Life's too short, there will be other times'.
I prefer to rely on memory kicking in the reminder umprompted by reading it. This works with some time delay. I am very good however at sending lists to the BF, because he's a bloke and if I remind him to print it and to cross out what he's done, he may well do it. This is more satisfying than me doing anything. Actually making someone else do something. Wow, this must be how parents feel with their kids when they've cleaned their room etc.
Anway, Toph has rather marvellously done 6 out of 10 items on his list from yesterday. I had to take the day off to make sure but it was important to do so. His dinner parties don't come round that often, ok call it two years since the last one, and that venue had to be spic & span as I say (old 60's foreign advert in case no one gets the reference). You'd think I go out with a hermit with no friends but he's just not socialising at home. Could not believe one of his good friends of say ... 4 years perhaps?, had never been to his house. Wow. And never invited herself either. And she's American so you'd think she doesn't toe the Brit line of my house is my castle and no one shall get in unless there's a good reason.
Ok this is not a very interesting post but let me just remind you that had Serge Gainsbourg lived a little longer he'd be 80 next year. Well, it means something to me.
