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.

Saw the sunshine this morning and put on one of my favourite, floaty, halter-neck summer dresses (usually more of a 'going out' item tbh but since that's not happening, I've abandoned all such classifications of clothing!). I’m a bit too cold now, but trying to ignore it / pretend I’m not, in case this is my last chance this year to wear this dress.

I am sitting here doing backups of data files and fotos.

DS has decided which subject will be the 'oral exam only' for his Abitur and submittet a concept for the 5th component paper he has to write.
I am suprised at is energy - but perhaps he has had a talking to at school.

Managed to walk dog between rain showers.

Oh! I have African toes

Hold onto your hats, this is thrilling and excited news...

I bought a heated clothes airer from Lakeland. And some muslins form Primark.

You are meant to remove sellotape before recycling cardboard , who else knew this and why don't I? To comply with thread requirements ...... I cut my toenails this morning

@HelloDulling

Have just sewn name tapes into DS’s new uniform, washed floor and am about to walk to the bank to pay DD’s drama fees.

This morning went to M&S and got there as they were doing the yellow sticker reductions. You should see my freezer!

Gosh. I'm really envious of your M&S yellow sticker items!

I took my car to the garage today for its first service with me as owner.

@Greenandcabbagelooking don't know what it says about my life but I genuinely feel your heated airer news is exciting!

DD came back from the library and bought ice cream on the way home.
Which is exciting, but only mildly...

I hate wearing foundation but wanted a bit of colour to brighten up my face before applying my make up. I used a foundation brush to "dab" some fake tan to my face.

Just got back from afternoon tea with friends. Imagine my surprise when I was greeted by an Oompa Loompa upon inspecting my make up in the bathroom mirror. I clearly "daubed" rather than "dabbed."🤡

I went for a walk after work and now my legs are sore.
I did more laminating today, it was very satisfying.

DD came back from the library and bought ice cream on the way home. Which is exciting, but only mildly...

Your library is open??!

My Le Creuset butter dish finally arrived today after 2 bloody months waiting for it to come back in stock! Now need to buy butter...

I've found the best ever rice pudding.

It's amazing.

I have found a charity shop that will collect donations. They are coming on Thursday. So now I have two days to do a massive clear out.
I'll start tomorrow.

My feet appear to be multicultural. Or possibly alien.

I got a sleep rating of 89 on my Fitbit. This is my highest rating in over a year

@BoreOfWhabylon Do you mind if I ask which charity please? I have about 6-8 bags of decluttered stuff sitting in my spare room, waiting for the charity shops to reopen. I’m desperate to get rid!

took photos of the stuff to go on ebay and etsy.
took dogs outside for a wee several times!
refreshed their water the dogs i mean

I found a facemask that I thought I had lost. In the pocket of an item I hardly wear.

I’ve been looking for shelves for DD1 for Christmas, she’s 10 (11 at Christmas) and this is the second year she’s asked for one.

I’m eating a huge bowl of strawberry ice cream whilst watching The Simpsons.

@BikeRunSki

Yes, but I am in Berlin - with some restrictions but you get your books.

@BikeRunSki - some of the libraries in London are open too (only for dull and unexciting books though).

I've written and posted two anniversary cards, and vacuumed under the sofa cushions.

I have unclassifiable toes. I might pain them to make myself feel better about this.

*paint them. I already pained one foot by putting the vacuum down on them.

I have one Egyptian and one Mongolian set of toes.

I bought these little rope bags that you put soap in then lather it up for the shower. They arrived today.
