It’s half past 3 in the morning and I’m struggling to stay awake. I’m night shift tonight so I have to put off sleeping for as long as possible, or I’ll have a snowball’s chance in hell of surviving 9 hours of nocturnal fun at work. So I’m catching up on tv on v+ and surfing t’internet, and longing for my cosy, comfortable bed. If I stay up until 6am I’ll get a nice sleep (fingers crossed).

John Lautner - Desert Hot Springs Motel - 1947 - Jan-Richard Kikkert - Picasa Web Albums
I watched the documentary on John Lautner, and his beautiful creations. This is one of the rooms in the Desert Hot Springs Motel which he designed in 1943. I would love to stay here, each room has its own enclosed private patio, bliss.

There was an article in the local weekly paper about Steve, and how Leona and Steve's family and friends, the Ministry of Defence and the community have been such a great support in such a trying time. The donations made to the Royal Navy and Royal Marines charities at Steve's funeral came to almost £1300, which is a fantastic amount. It's an indication of how well respected both Steve and Leona are, and the money will be put to good use helping men and women who put their lives on the line to keep us safe.

Things To Occupy Time
From where I'm lying on my bed I can see this pile of things. It's like a to do list, taunting me. Two of the books are urgently in need of some attention, they are Book Group books. The box sets of The Wire were a huge, but enjoyable, distraction from said books. And I have made the mistake of starting the 'Millenium' trilogy by Stieg Larsson, and I can't put the 2nd of the trilogy down. I've read half of it since yesterday! And the last book in the trilogy is silently calling me to read it from the top of the pile. I must resist. I have no chance! If you want a good read for the Summer, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is brilliant, but be prepared to have the uncontrolable urge to read all 3 books in rapid succession. Yes, they are THAT GOOD.
