Come and tell me your dull and unexciting news...

[ReallySpicyCurry]

Anybody care to join?

I realised that it was the everyday stuff I missed most during lockdown. I really miss things being normal and dull and unexciting. Everyone in RL just talks covid covid covid all the bloody time. If it isn't covid it's recessions and A levels.

I bought a new flask. It's a 500ml Thermocafe and I love it. I take it into work and out into the garden.

I am also learning to do something called a "halo braid" in my hair. I am so bad at braiding it's unbelievable.

The cat hid a dead shrew in DH's slipper this morning.

I invite you all to top this parade of mediocrity.

Bought a new rubber mat for the bottom of the bath today.

I ahve been thinking that one of these might be a good idea. No one ever falls over in the bath these days but they have done in the past.

I have African ties with a solidly non-African heritage (DM is into family history and gone back a couple of centuries).

DD is 100% African (adopted) and has Greek toes.

Much amusement for us both...

I need to fold 2 weeks worth of clean clothes tonight. They've been sitting in the basket looking at me and the pile now wobbles when I add something to the top.

I'm watching The Fall. Jamie Dornan is weirdly much hotter in this than in 50 Shades.

i've switched around some of my succulents to different shelves to try to ensure they all get plenty of light. i lost count at 47 plants .

This rainy weather is making me really want to switch out my summer clothes for autumn but I don't have enough room for everything out at once.

I might have a clear out over the weekend.

Stop the clock! Only 77.5 dowels later (thank you Argos for the half-dowel, so useful) I have built my new desk. I had no choice really as I thoughtlessly spread out all the pieces on my bed, so it was build it or sleep on top of the bits...

I want to know where the bony bit in the mouth is too.

Norwegian toes, which pleases me but is unlikely to count for anything.

Dh had a weird spot on the roof of his mouth a few years ago. The doc referred him and it had to be burnt away : it was not as bad as it sounds. Nothing sinister, but they said it would have to be removed.
Get it checked out!

I repotted a jade plant today and ended up with 6 separate jade plants

bony bit in my mouth location... so lower left jaw, 2 molars behind the canine, outside of the gums, go deep down to near bottom of the gum. It looks like a tooth that never fully erupted but went sideways. No discomfort.

I am seeing a new dentist fairly soon so if this bony bit makes me a freak or bearer of terminal diagnosis then she will probably comment.

I have a bony bit in my mouth too. It’s a little pointy stub of a tooth, instead of a proper tooth, where one of my wisdom teeth should be.

I phoned the bank to report an account being opened in my name that I didn’t open, after getting an email confirming my customer number. But the fraud department chap asked if it could be a business account and I realised DH has finally added me to his work account. I was relieved someone wasn’t going round opening bank accounts as me but also mad that he didn’t tell me to expect it.

Later I moved my thyme plant into a better location and watered my pepper plant and noticed it’s definitely growing tiny peppers now.

I read the weather forecast and discovered the UK has a TORNADO watch in place!!!

I have been driving for 30 years and made a real balls up of trying to park in an unfamiliar multi story

I bought some foundation which is one shade darker than I had before, and it's been a revelation. Made short work of my redness and dark circles with no need to faff about with colour correctors and all that jazz.

I mean I still don't look GOOD, but no bottle of foundation will achieve that, unless it's 85% Elixir of Youth and comes out of a magic lamp. But on balance, I’m pleased, and I have Greek toes.

Apparently I've just won a free pot of yoghurt.

Oooh @elephantoverthehill what flavour?

@BlackAmericanoNoSugar is he a basset hound by any chance?

No, he's a Glen of Imaal Terrier. He's quite big, about 19kg but his head only just about reaches my knee.

My parents dropped us off some of
their bumper crop of tomatoes today.

I bunged a beef and red wine casserole in the slow cooker to be served with cheesy mash - as it was lashing it down with rain - nice comfort food on an awful day - except by lunchtime it was glorious sunshine and tropical

I bought my first ever 6pack of cotton hankies with flower embroidery in the corner. I miss my Grandma alot and they reminded me of her.

I am trying reusable sanitary towels for the first time. Literally wearing one right now.

I prefer the morrisons tea bags to the Sainsburys brand tea bags.

@lachy

I'm going to buy a new hoover tomorrow

I think this actually counts as quite big news. What type? I'm really keen on getting a Shark.

@thelionessqueen it's always beef casserole weather :-)

@topcat2014 I despise multistorey car parks. You are brave for even trying

@shiveringwiggles I will quote my fav tv family, The Simpsons when they are arguing who empties it
Homer: (fills bin to the top)
Bart: your turn to take it out Homer. He who tops it off, drops it off.
Homer: Nu-uh it isn't filled until it's spilled!

I would go with that. A wobble isn't a spill you got time before it needs putting away

My dull and unexciting news is that I'm currently listening to the hum of a dehumidifier turning itself inside out under the strain of drying out the new plaster on my kitchen walls and ceiling.

I have been boringly busy (work, nobody else was in, thrilling baked potatoes for dinner, then a run) but how nice that you've all been having equally boring days

I'm cold. I'm pretty sure it's a almost time to crack and put the heating on, but meanwhile I'll make do with my new wool blanket... I love it so
