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

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.

I forgot to take a mask to my haircut. The hairdresser had a basket of handmade made ones. I could have nipped home but I bought a blue one with white hearts on. The elastics are a bit short for me.

My friend just messaged me to say her daughter loves her Birthday present we dropped round earlier. I'm not 100% sure what to make for dinner tonight but it will involve rose wine.

I have today cleaned cat wee from the carpet.

DH is constipated.

Hi OP,
I like the sound of that braiding.
I went kayaking today. Not been since last October because the Spring sessions were cancelled due to Covid. It was gorgeous. Reed beds, lily pads, ducks and swans. Bliss. And of interest to no one except me. Grin

Prokupatuscrakedatus · 22/08/2020 14:56

It's stopped raining - now it is warm and humid. The sort of weather that makes you want to lie down.

powkin · 22/08/2020 14:58

I got my hair dyed for first time in 3 years yesterday!

cleanasawhistle · 22/08/2020 14:59

I have been very poorly for a couple of days.

Feel on the mend today and had soup for lunch

TawnyPippit · 22/08/2020 15:14

I might reorganise the stack of books by the side of my bed as I keep forgetting what I have bought.

It’s equally likely I might not as it would involve moving from the sofa.

Flyingarcher · 22/08/2020 15:26

I have moved the oak dresser (very heavy) to the kitchen. I have reorganised contents and discovered loads of 'stuff' I do not need.

Charity shop next week.

I wish Bargain Hunt would come to my house. I could flog a lot of stuff. Minature dolls teapots anyone?

Maxineputyourredshoeson · 22/08/2020 15:34

I’m watching The Grinch (animated version) because I can.

Chilli and jackets for dinner.

amieejust · 22/08/2020 15:41

I need to clean and tidy my ensuite and bedroom ready for visitors next week.

DH is making himself a chilli con carne, perhaps he is hoping it will help his constipation.

Mertyle · 22/08/2020 15:57

@BloodyBollockingHell ...I have none of those toes and am now worried what toes I do have ?!

Couchpotato3 · 22/08/2020 15:59

Finished the ironing and I'm going to have a bath. Travellers have turned up in the park, so I'll take the dog over there later for a look.

elephantoverthehill · 22/08/2020 16:04

I'm currently stripping

elephantoverthehill · 22/08/2020 16:04

An old table for Dd to use as a desk

Scarby9 · 22/08/2020 16:12

A friend has just given me some of the Victoria plums she was given by another friend. I may make a crumble, or try the plum and ginger cake on the BBC website, or just stew them.

SecretWitch · 22/08/2020 16:14

Thinking of the burger I’m going to get at 5Guys.

Purpleice · 22/08/2020 16:38

Making my first patchwork quilt. Just put the oven on for jacket potatoes.

Mimilamore · 22/08/2020 16:54

I have put a concoction in the slow cooker, involving the chicken from 2 left over kebabs not used last night and odds and sods of orange pepper, broccoli and coconut milk, spiced it up a bit and it is smelling good.
I made a chocolate refrigerator cake.
I accompanied husband to Tool Station to collect a cutting disc .
I have Greek toes.

Cocolapew · 22/08/2020 17:01

When I pick DD up from work she's going to buy me a McDonalds. I'm going to have a plain fillet of fish and large fries. I'd prefer a KFC.

mamaduckbone · 22/08/2020 17:04

I've found enough frozen portions of leftover curry in the freezer to make into tonight's dinner.

Prokupatuscrakedatus · 22/08/2020 17:20

I just went down to NDN for the cats and to water their plants. Of course, it started to rain as soon as I was done.

SentientAndCognisant · 22/08/2020 17:39

I made pancakes for first ever time , they worked we are all happily munching away

Happylittlethoughts · 22/08/2020 17:41

The dog needs a bath. I can't decide what's for tea

Mimilamore · 22/08/2020 18:51

Brought over 20 bricks in from back of car, vacuumed car.
Watched TV pixelate.....
