Come and tell me your dull and unexciting news THE SEQUEL

[ReallySpicyCurry]

This is the one where the news remains dull, and all the irons you bought in the last thread have developed limescale.

I had a slice of toast and now I feel a bit sick. It must be because I am low carbing.The toast was worth it though,it was slightly cold and hard so the butter went on the way it used to in a 1990s B&B.

I ordered a wheelbarrow. It came today.

Crane oes and Daddy Long Legs are the same thing. They have excellent noses which you can see if they are on the other side of a window from you.
I like them, they fly like their legs belong to someone else.

I have a splinter in my finger

I thought I was doing really well at the gym - walking 3.3 miles an hour and not even out of puff. Then I realised the machine was set to kilometres

My tesco delivery was 2 hours early today, which was fantastic as that was the time I wanted it but couldn't book it for. Buzzing about that.

I'm going to take the boys to get their haircut tomorrow. Then as a c reward / bribery, we'll get mini fish and chips for lunch.

Now worried that should be

their hair cut

My ds had a covid test today so work don't want me in until he's had the results, I would enjoy the time off but I had the whole of last week off plus Monday so I'm bored and shouldn't go anywhere incase his test comes back positive.

The dog has had an allergic reaction and is wearing a cone to stop him licking his skin off.

Dog+cone=width of every doorway in the house and he likes to follow me about.

I defrosted a chilli for tea

My cat just jumped up on the settee.

Every single sock in my washed laundry pile had a matching partner. No single socks in my house tonight.

I thought it would be a god idea to put the winter duvet on my bed. Less than 33 minutes in..... the window is wide open. Poor choice in peri menopausal conditions.

Thank you, I feel strangely justified. DH has gone quiet. And I am looking forward to studying their noses.

In other news, I rescued a fly from my gin and tonic. It flew off in a somewhat zigzagging manner.

I’ve cut my toenails. And discovered my dog has fleas.

Sat on the drive with a cat I hadn't seen before. She had no tail. As in, she did once, but now she doesn't. I kept thinking she would topple forward because she looked so front-heavy.

She was very very sweet, and I realised not having a tail shouldn't matter. Until she sat on my jeans. They're going in the wash, even though they look ok.

I thought one of my dogs had picked up a tick, but it turned out to be a seed. We all went to the park and kicked a ball around. It was sunny today

@BillywigSting, there is at least one finger you should lift tonight.

I'm developing a massive red spot on my top lip. No head yet so I keep prodding it in the hope that one develops and I can squeeze it.

I ordered DS’s school uniform on the 1st of August. It was supposed to arrive in 21 days. On August the 22nd I got an email saying their supply chains had been hit by COVID and it was going to take longer. Then yesterday, I got an email saying their turnaround time was now 28 days... 32 days after I’d ordered the stuff.

I’m hoping it might arrive in time for him to wear it at his graduation. 👨‍🎓

Where to start! The dog has an ear infection and it makes him smell (I took him to the vet and have been given ear drops).
I'm stuck doing home learning with DD again which makes me feel stabby.
I need to buy watermelon and lamb chops.
I'm trying to work out how to make an excel spreadsheet to keep track of house hold spending.
O and the highlight of my day will be sitting in my car alone for an hour whilst DD and DS go to karate.

'd'p woke me up with fresh coffee today.

He had better be creeping for last night's performance.

Ds got given a p.e kit by the school last year that was too big and probably fits now, but I can't find it. I have a horrible feeling it's been thrown away with the old uniforms.

I broke the cafetiere and had to mop up coffee and broken glass. It took a couple of minutes out of my day. I'll get another when I pop out for bread and milk later.

I have found the pe kit but the pumps are too small, nipping out to buy some in a bit. Might treat ds to a milkshake and myself to a coffee while we're out.

There is an art installation in the middle of my living room.

You may see it, of course, as the ironing board that I neglected to take down and put away after using it late yesterday evening, But we all understand that one of the functions of modern art is to provoke discussion . . .

Sorry, I need to move the iron - the balance of the composition isn't quite right.

This might take some time.

I am sitting waiting for a Zoom meeting that might or might not happen. If it happens, nothing earth shattering will be discussed or decided.
