Christmas Eve

I’ve spent the day thus far cleaning. All is done so I can relax now and make potato salad and rice salad and start drinking champagne around 5pm.

I was vaccuming the rug beside my bed (I should say our bed, shouldn’t I?) and it has two medallions and floral motifs and is a gorgeous village rug. The colours are subtle yet lush. It is a beautifly piece. Then in the hallway is one with three central medallions. I mention this as a follow-on from my previous post. I am thinking, I am thinking. How to visualise my structure as a Turkish rug.

In other news, I started reading Bret Easton Ellis’s Lunar Park which is compelling particularly as it’s billed as a novel yet ‘every word is true’ (hmmm); then this morning I thought I’d better read Less than Zero first, then Lunar so that’s probably what I’ll do.

Finally, I’m waiting for feedback from a reader on Orange, I have a January deadline to get it to someone who hopefully will be able to do something with it. Obscure? Yes, for now but if something happens, you’ll be the first to know.

Merry Christmas and all that.
