Things to think about when the cricket is rained out..

1. I have new Pink Shoes.
2. There are only two of us at work - the other guy blows his nose on his t-shirt. Charming.
3. It took me 45 minutes to figure out how to post a new blog. I'm that smart.
4. I'm wearing my new Pink Shoes.
5. I need more shoes.
6. You can never have enough handbags.
7. I'm really, really not paid enough to support my lifestyle.
8. Neither is my boyfriend.
9. I have new black shoes - yet to be worn. Much anticipation.
10. This is going to be a long Sunday.

The height of boredom

This day in history: random picks from my extensive (and very bored) research time

• September 17, 642 Arabs conquer Alexandria, library destroyed
