Come and tell me your dull and unexciting news 3: The saga continues

[ReallySpicyCurry]

Crack on, as you were, need a lie down and a bit of cosseting after the non stop thrill ride of the last thread. Just take it slow, ok?

Champagne
Added both to my vocabulary list - brushed cotton is a really fitting word - I actually call it 'Bieber'.

I'm sorry. But a canine youth theatre group would have been WAY too exciting, but Zoom or otherwise....

BY Zoom or otherwise...

Gross nail warning.

Tripped over while out with my dog and I've bent one of my toe nails back. It's black and gross and had been bleeding. Vom.

I have stuck two stickers on our bins with our house numbers so that I don't have to guess whose wheely bin is whose on collection day. ( even though I usually take the lazy way out and wait until all neighbours have retrieved theirs).

Ooh, wincyette. As in wincyette nighties. Haven't heard of one for ages.

Though I have just looked and there are loads on eBay.

Am willing to concede the excitement of [Juvenile] Doggie Thespians - but if it were your normal it probably wouldn’t seem very exciting...

I would quite like a wincyette nightie.

I messaged my partner with a pic of my manky toe, expecting at least a bit of sympathy.

He sent back a laughing face and asked if I wanted some purple spray on it. 🤨

(lighthearted, he is a wonderful man and if it was serious he'd be the first to help)

I've discovered SkyArts on Freeview and I'm quite pleased.

Me too, @MilleniumHallsWalledGarden. Just pondering if there is one DH wouldn't laugh at.

I’ve got someone else’s wheelie bin at the moment. The bin men gave me the wrong one back. I can’t be arsed to return it and track down mine.

I think I'd just have to brazen it out. Just think how lovely it'd feel

@Squirrel26. How do you know it's not yours? The only way I can tell the ones in our street apart are the ones with numbers on (ours included)

I watched the dullest programme in the world last night. It was a film of The Ghan, which is a train which goes from Adelaide to Darwin in Australia. It’s basically a camera stuck to the side of the train, drone shots of the scenery, occasional shots of the inside of the train and captions of factoids about the place.

It was the most relaxing, soporific thing I’ve seen since the one in New Zealand. It will on iPlayer if anyone really needs to unwind in the evening...!

@sueelleker it’s got someone else’s house number on it! It’s also a different bin - it’s smaller than mine, which I assume is why it’s rightful owners have not been round to retrieve it...

I left a half empty bag of potting soil outside the back door yesterday because I couldn't be bothered to put it away. DDog is having the time of her life with it, crackly plastic AND something to dig. She has a light dusting of soil all over her muzzle.

I'm on a course today.

I can categorically say that it is both dull and unexciting.

I’ve overdone it this morning:
Done a big pile of ironing and put it away
Emptied the greenhouse of tomato plants, picked two large bowlfuls, sorted out unripe ones to put on window sill to ripen
Discovered Mr and Mrs Toad under pots (they were not amused!)
Tidied lower patio
Now having a coffee and a rest 😎 in the sunshine

I am worried about my Clematis. I don’t think it’s happy.

(I’m at work. But I’m worrying from a distance.)

There is a buzzing fly in here

The warm sun has packed up and left until next year I think.
Outside looks pretty dull and unexciting as a result.

My heated airer has arrived. Just ahead of the forecast cool and wet weather.

Sodding Kitten is happy to have more service humans and warm laps available (see yesterday’s COVID testing update).

The noise of extra people in the house after 2 weeks’ peace and the TV on in the background is distracting. I have a complicated document to proof read and I am struggling to make headway.
