12 July:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The country is sad because we lost the football. (As in we lost the football tournament, we haven\u2019t simply lost a football!) I\u2019ve never liked football. I can\u2019t understand why, instead of reading Tolstoy, anybody would choose to watch people kicking a ball instead. My dislike of the sport probably stems from my school PE days, when I was always chosen last. I usually ended up as \u2018Referee\u2019s Assistant\u2019, which I suspect is a made-up role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
13 July:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Had a great Scotch egg from Sainsbury\u2019s today. As well as pork and egg, it contained caramelised onion. Incredible! But I am troubled. The packaging features a badge which reads \u201cSummer Edition\u201d \u2013 I fear that the caramelised onion is a seasonal addition that won\u2019t be around for long. Have written to Sainsbury\u2019s to enquire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On my way back from the shop, a white limousine containing several children drove past, presumably en route to some kind of birthday party. As it passed me, a child shouted out of the window, \u201cYou only have one life, so use it well!\u201d. I thought this was excellent advice, especially from a child. It made me think about my own life, and how I could \u201cuse it\u201d better. Kindness, patience and tolerance are far more important than bitterness, grudges and resentment. Have vowed to remember this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
14 July:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Went to the park to read Tolstoy, only to find that an idiot man had set up one of those stupid tightrope things between two trees, right<\/em> in front of my favoured reading spot. I cannot stand these people. They are scum. Why must they parade themselves about like that in public? I came to the park to read, not watch some inane circus display. In the end, I was only able to manage half a page of Tolstoy (half a page!) before the distraction of this idiot man and his stupid waving arms become too much to bear. I set my book aside and spent the next hour watching and willing him to suffer an injurious fall. Sadly, he was quite skilled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
15 July:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Went to the pub to read Tolstoy but was distracted by a folk band playing in the corner. Found them irritating at first but began to warm to them after a couple of whiskeys. After a third whiskey I asked if I could join in. It was only when I was handed a guitar that I realised I knew no chords or songs, so I began strumming the strings and repeatedly singing the words \u201cBob Dylan\u201d. After around four minutes, when it became clear that the other musicians were not planning to join in, I brought the song to a close, and told them it was one of Dylan\u2019s more experimental early works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thought of an excellent title for a novel on the way home: Algorithm \u2018n\u2019 Blues. Not sure exactly what it would be about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
16 July:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Saw Doctor Caldwell. Told him my Writer\u2019s Block is showing no signs of abating. Whilst I am just about managing to write this diary, I am still unable to write poems, plays, novels, novellas or short stories. He suggested I try a new creative outlet, such as drawing, to \u201cget my creative juices flowing\u201d. I told him this was preposterous \u2013 my art practice is, and has only ever been, writing \u2013 but he insisted it might work. Will give it some thought. I have never drawn anything in my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attempted to draw a cat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
17 July:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Have downloaded an app called \u2018Drink Free Days\u2019, which is designed to help you have more drink free days. I\u2019m a little troubled by my alcohol consumption, which I suspect has doubled since my writer\u2019s block began. I entered my details into the app, including my age, sex and how much I tend to drink each day of the week. According to Drink Free Days, I currently drink more than 90% of males my age. This is ridiculous \u2013 there was nowhere within the app for me to specify that I am a writer. Of course I drink more than non-writers, but how does my drinking compare with that of other authors and litterateurs? Have written to the developer to suggest the addition of an \u2018Are you a writer?\u2019 field to the initial questionnaire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
