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.

That is a truly lovely bread bin.

I have one of those corner sofas, and I like to sit with my head in the corner and my feet stretched out, but I get a crick in my neck. If I lie on my side, my neck is OK but my wrist gets sore with holding my kindle, and I fall asleep.

Not sure what to do about it all

I have decided to grow my hair. It's been extremely short for several years (it got really crappy & thin) & it appears to have improved a bit so I'm giving it a chance. But I need to dye it... so much grey.

And, my back has briefly stopped hurting for the first time in 2 days. I'm floating on a cloud of codeine... I'm finishing my tea & going to bed before it wears off.

@ReallySpicyCurry - when I had long hair, I found a dutch braid easier than a french braid. Not sure why, probably something to do with finger movements etc.

I have Roman toes in my left foot but my right foot is stateless, hmm.

I have a project deadline for 28th August and I’ll probably make the deadline if I work hard between then and now.

Today I manually hemmed four pairs of school trousers and the cuffs of a blazer (DS starting secondary so all new uniform and slightly too big / long).

I’m nauseatingly pleased with myself about it. Not because I've never done it before - I have - but because there are three weeks still to go but now I don't have to think about it again.

Only read 4 pages but if you want fountain pens, Google Cult Pens.

They are independent, generally quick service and often inc sweets or a small freebie in the packet.

I buy all pens there now!

DD is allergic to one of our dogs. We got a cockerpoo believing they are hypoallergenic but that is not the case. She's ok with the right meds though, and I bought a new bottle this morning.

I’m impressed with all the braiding! I can only do basic plaits on DD, and can’t even do my own because I can’t see behind my own head!

This morning I booked 5 nights at a “wild” (minimal facilities) campsite in Wales for next week. The weather forecast is shit. DH and the children are really excited, so I’m pretending I am too.

I just herd an owl.

DS, aged 4, is sleeping in my bed because I couldn’t be bothered to put him to bed and DH seems really tired, so will snore like an angry bear tonight.
Chatting as he was falling asleep, told me if I was as big as a tree, I’d be a giant.

My DD has aboriginal toes but she calls them bunny ears.

I ate a cucumelon for the first time today.

I lost my codeine which I was discharged from hospital with yesterday. Really need it or will need to go back into hospital for the 3rd time in 2 weeks.

I just found the The Young Ones on Britbox so I'm watching it. And drinking a pint of water.

Today I was subbed a large garlic for the price of a regular one and got an extra broccoli in my shopping.

Also, won £30 on the lottery, things are on the up

DP worried that ddog1 has not had poo tisay( ddog1 does have allergies etc) iI think I reassured by saying ddog1 prob ate it. I really like this thread.

Threw my old slippers in the bin.

My car passed its MOT today, I didn't expect it to fail.

My son did a wee on the potty this morning. He’s got the floor ever since but I’m still super pleased at that one!
I also have a lovely new nightie and dressing gown for my hospital bag!

I had a shower with my 5 and 6 year old because they ganged up and refused to wash themselves unless I joined in.

Greek toe - hopefully no Oedipus ancestry.

I have Egyptian toes
I went to actual work today for the first time in months. The dog missed me and I've gained a shadow.
Dm saw eye to eye in something 😲 and talked girly shit 😲😲😲

I have Roman toes!

I am feeling very pleased with self as sport massage person gave me some back exercises to do.. and I’ve done them a whole 2 days in a row so far. I am expecting wild praise when she sees the dramatic change in me

Just sitting here on MN when the dog walked in with a rat in his mouth. Cue massive panic before I realised it was a wet, black sock!

Egyptian toes here
Rescue dog is coming out her shell and getting cheeky
She stole a slice of bread and some Lego.
I retrieve the Lego but not the bread 😂

I downloaded a house cleaning app today.
I cleaned the dining room, because the app said so.

We plugged in our new fridge freezer. It arrived just before we went on holiday so we decided to leave it for 'something to look forward to' on our return. I found it anticlimactic. DH spent much of the day reading me snippets from the instruction manual.

I have egyptian toes, with the exception that I have freaky tiny toes, which sit on top of my fourth toe.
