Back in the something

I'm so easily open to 'suggestion' - in Scrubs when Molly/Heather Graham was talking to her food, crazy as that was she was talking to it as FOOD - then tonight eating my yummy Hagan Danz Belguim Chocolate flavour ice-cream, I think it was something to do with how blown away by the taste, I drifted off as I was looking at all the tiny little chocolate bits floating in the liquid bit at the end - thinking how lovely they were and just how many there were - then I came to and realised 'oh how sad I'm going to have to eat you' - and then I did.

This is my newest mug - I think its my biggest and cheeriest ever - and its black and white stripey keeping up that theme too - see earlier posts - check out tk-max for their mugs - talking of tips I want to air a couple. Lately I seem to be dropping stuff or things are getting snagged in other things and one of the worst was pees falling out of the bag taking them out of the freezer, however thanks to J I have solved this issue by using clothes pegs to keep them shut and my life is all the better for it! The other tip is if you need to soak your dishes in the sink, put a tray over the top to keep the heat in and you are less likely to need to run more hot water when you get round to washing them!

Funny how small random things can lead to bigger things. I took a slight wrong turn today, then trying to take the next road through it looked quite narrow so I took the next one. An old chap had fallen in the grass - the upshot of it all being an ambulance was called and he was taken to hospital to be checked out. He was conscious but not really with it, maybe I imagined it but you could sense his shock and lostness. It was kind of nice to be taking care of someone, albeit for only a few moments. It was also one of those classic bloke moments, me and the other tradesman were both thinking 'is this what I've got to look forward to in old age' in a Still Game vein - he said it first though. I hope the old guy is fine. It didn't look like he would be living independently for much longer though.

Finally got over chest infection - almost seven weeks that took. So I'm ready to resume my blog as well as life - as I know it anyway. I've started tutoring again, an hour or two a week anyway.

I watched a crakin film Monday night - Venus - Peter O Tool having an extended flirtation with his friends niece 50 years his junior - full of quirkiness and good humour but with plenty of sadness thrown in - and differing sorts of redemption in the end. A very British film. It could have been the red wine too that made it so good. I could have watched it again straight afterwards.

Better go and do an hour of maths.
