Trying Out An Idiom.

One of those odd mornings for me. Went to the shop for me paper, got back and saw it was dated yesterday. Headed back to the shop, told the lady could I swap for todays paper please. On my way back I thought about reading yesterdays paper would be as exciting as watching paint dry.  An hour later as sun came out, started to paint the house front wood bits. Sat down with me coffee to watch it dry.  Came to the conclusion there is no excitement at all in reading yesterdays paper or watching paint dry.
