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.

@LookToTreblesGoingTreblesGone

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

Oh bugger, I thought you were going to say it did it for you!

@SentientAndCognisant

I worked with a woman who won’t have a dishwasher. She Doesn’t trust them.

What does she think it will do ?

@TheReynoldsPamphlet

I have Egyptian toes.

Ooh, and MIL bought me a packet of Percy's Parents from M&S today.

Do you mean some bacon ?

I went to Lidl today.

My toes between Greek & Orient.
DD borrowed my fitbit to see just how many calories she burns on a 12 hour shift in the care home. Tomorrow she'll have a 7 hour shift to compare with, too.
Bastard cat woke me up early (5:30) but the sky was amazingly pink & glowing. Almost forgive the cat.

I've been experimenting with Macrame and have made a wonky lovely wall hanging.

I've also just found out I have orient toes, who knew!

Did a quick trip to the supermarket yesterday evening, in face shield (nobody so far has told me it's not a "proper" mask). As I did so, I kept moving my Roman toes around inside my trainers, which I was wearing without socks.

@freesolo - nice bread bin. I have that milk jug!!

I bought a new electric steamer on Monday and was quite excited to discover I can steam rice in it.

My new bathroom bin arrived yesterday.

Amazon is my best friend right now.

@PettyLittleThings what did cucamelon taste like? Ours aren't ready yet and I'm curious

My 3 young children are still asleep, DH already left for work so I’m sat in bed with a coffee. It’s bliss.

There's a power cut at the moment and it's tipping it down outside

It’s raining, which is very soothing.
Ds watching Preston Plays on youtube is not soothing, all the squawking. He’s just had a hot chocolate and a bourbon. I had a cup of tea.

I'm having a Sainsbury's delivery later today.
I'm not yet dressed , but think I'll wear a skirt today.
We had our bins emptied just a minute ago.
And lastly, I'm going to make a real effort today to drink lots of water.

I’ve just started a new job and I’ve been given a free parking space on a colleague’s driveway a 2min walk away, so I’ll save £130 a month on a parking season ticket.

I think I might treat myself to an Apple Watch.

I've been giving great thought to if/how to style harem pants for work in September.

I'be been teaching myself to use syntax in SPSS using you tube tutorials. I deleted 7000 variables in one go yesterday and I meant to do it!

@Purpleice

I’m loving this thread of ordinariness. It’s so soothing!

It is, isn't it? I'm doing a novel-writing course at the moment and I'm thinking I'll just write a really ordinary diary, of someone who not much happens to. It'll be a bestseller.

I finally ordered DS his uniform and school shoes yesterday after putting it off for a while.

I'm looking forward to having the gel on my nails replaced today and eating out with DH and the DC this evening as a treat.

I dyed my grey eyebrows back to brown today and now feel like a supermodel.

I read my electricity meter yesterday and failed to shut the cupboard door properly after, it's outside, it banged all night in the wind and I couldn't be assed to get out of bed and shut it. I'm tired and grumpy today as a result.

I have Greek toes.

I have Egyptian toes.
Yesterday I took my motorbike for its running in service, the mechanic man also put a bit of hammerite paint on the weld of the kick stand (I’d had it shortened as I had the bike lowered) I thought that was nice of him.

I have an Egyptian left foot and Greek right foot. No wonder I struggle to find shoes to fit me, either get one side rubbing my heel or the other side rubbing my pinky toe.

My boring news is that I slept well last night. I have insomnia and chronic pain which has been getting steadily worse through lockdown so sleep has been such a rare thing recently, and I also lost 2lb this week so I'm now back below where I was at the start of lockdown finally.

@totallyyesno @1990s I bought a silicone cap from Amazon that has ear pockets, so it goes completely over the ear and kind of suctions to your head. Then I watched this video: tucking all my hair up under the cap. I was amazed to find that apart from the very nape of my neck, my hair was still dry after a 1.5km freestyle swim in the pool.

@Nestofvipers fish and cheese isn't always wrong! Last night we had plaice with a parmesan dill breadcrumb crust, cheesy mash alongside. It was all kinds of right
