During the course of a day numerous pointless things come into my mind. Yesterday it was a question. What is the longest word that can be made by using just one key on a mobile phone? I googled this and came up with virtually nothing. Best I could do was feeded but I'm not even sure that's a word as it should technically be fed. Apparently the longest word you can make by using just the top row of a keyboard is appropriately typewriter.
Now all this is really quite irrelevant... but fun nevertheless.
Definition of boredom yesterday - four men sitting in a row in the ladies clothes department of Marks and Spencers, looking glum and bored silly. Obviously taking a load off their feet whilst their wives take a load off their wallets.
Have to confess I did enjoy Northern Ballet's production of I've Got Rhythm at Norwich Theatre Royal. Have to also confess that I enjoyed the music more than the dance - but I always will. Sitting on the front row it was interesting to see the huge strength needed by the dancers - something we always forget when it comes to ballet. Also interesting to see the facial features as well. The men in particular obviously have to keep smiling, keep remembering their movements and make them look natural whilst obviously under tremendous strain of having to lift the ballerinas above their heads. One particular guy sweated buckets and I'm surprised some of it didn't hit us in the front row. Also at times they got extremely close to the edge of the stage. I could just see one of them falling and dropping into our laps - which would have made the production even more interesting.
Felt very lethargic all day which was all sorted out by running club in the evening. Over the past few weeks I have picked up numerous small injuries and niggles. Today I bought a new pair of running shoes and they made all the difference. A bit of stiffness but no pain. What is it they say about a workman and his tools?
