The Crepey Buds Of May

[GiddyGiddyGoat]

Err, how did that happen with no one noticing!
It's because we're all on the dark and stormy, sloe gin and prosecco innit.

Sorry for the not v inspired title but I panicked.

Oh no, not on gardening leave. I've got to work out my Three (III) Months Notice, which is good as I can get my crown done while I'm still insured, but bad because you can't move on.... And as I'm not really going anywhere, they don't worry about commercial aspects. Obviously I could have lied!

MI :(

I've never had gardening leave either but have been in orgs where sales staff get met at the door and given a box of belongings...

Oh Cremo I'm loving the sound of all of that!

On the good side, I have located the gin I stashed in the fridge last week. On the other, DP is still huffy with me.

(Also I found the Bombay mix. So on balance I'm ahead.)

I am trying to recover from a shock decicision on Masterchef

MI indeed follow your nose. It's going to be about how much of you ddad you can handle though. I am so sorry your mum is all but vanishing.

There seem to be a lot of gin joints in the city, but Mothers Ruin has to be the best name.
I am browsing the Arabica party menus. And here which sounds hilarious.

Beachy old chum, something will present itself. It is only by not thinking about anything at all that we get get our best ideas. Keep reading and pottering.

NO MASTERCHEF SPOILERS CREM! DP is out, and has forbidden me from watching it yet. I hope it's not what I fear it might be.

Arabica looks delish - I had never heard of it but must try it now!

Julian C is vair funny and quite rude. There's a 16yo boy near the front - not sure I'd have brought DS.

He is planning to come amongst us in the second half.

He's STILL huffy with me...

Oh dear oh dear oh dear

We have no live YV but watched Masterchef Mexico - surely dessert girl/ dropped out has to go?

MrsS???!!?

MrsS? Is that for MI or are you being norty....

I bought dh some gin for Christmas - went to a posh hipster offie in Hipsterville E London and ended up tasting 101 varieties at 11 in the morning with ds1 in tow. He was very disapproving and scathing....

I despair of the youth of today. At that age 11am gin would have caused me not a moment's hesitation...

Mrs S???

Bit pissed. Not behaving.

Are you with That Man?

< hoiks bosom >

My father is going completely mad. He insists mum is reacting a bit and tried to smile when he kissed her goodnight.

He probably is a bit mad at the moment MI... Still thinking of you and hoping you're holding on in there. X

Mrs S?

Going home. No damage done.

Yes Herbs, hoick away.

Oh fucketyfuck taxi for Mrs S.

No masterchef spoilers, no.

GGG, sounds smashing . What's wrong with the yoof of today?

CV , no. Julian's billed as Over 18 with uz, but sure there are teenagers and then there are teenagers

Tactical withdrawal, MrsS?

MI - thinking of you. And your DDad.

And another day starts. Dad planning to go to shops. Do we need anything, he asks - HOW WOULD I KNOW? I DON'T LIVE HERE. And no I don't need a ready-made sandwich for lunch because there is nice stuff in the fridge I BOUGHT ON MONDAY.

MI, you clearly have been spoilt by your new-age man-about-the-kitchen DP - I can imagine DH saying those exact things to me

Here I am feeling rather tired after worrying about DD and her relationship woes/DH tossing and turning (inspection today) all night.
