Peggy's Mundane Thread

Been doing some paid work the last couple of days. One of the people I've been working with really reminded me of somebody, but I couldn't think who it was until today, when I told him. Turns out they used to work together and one of them obviously taught the other one everything he knows.

Now to work out which one was which.

Thanks to the weather not being good enough to spend the morning up the park, I now know nearly all the words to the Bob the Builder song.

After two bottles of cgardonnay I feel great!!!!!

Where is that grape from. Sounds Hungarian.

Czech beer, South African wine & Scottish whisky for me. A version of a multi-cultural evening.

See? That was posting from my phone. Fingers and thumbs not talking to brain!

It was a particularly nasty Australian Chardonnay - Hardy's VR

As the wife said, you had to drink it to get rid of it.

Still, no driving for me this morning = no hair cut until next week!

Pretty mundane day all round. Went to the pub, talked to a few people, went to a football match, went to another pub, talked to a few more people.

Still there's always the latest BBC4 long Scandinavian crime drama to look forward to at 9pm. I've been over that bridge between Denmark and Sweden. Twice.

Thursday - mushroom dhal with potatoes & spinach curry, with veggie daughter. Washed down with a bottle of German pinot grigio (surprisingly excellent) and some SA sauvignon blanc.

Yesterday - gurnard baked on mushrooms and cherry tomatoes. Delicious. Washed down with the rest of the sauvignon. (Followed with an evening out & too much to drink .... hence sleeping through til 10:00 this morning).

Today - skinless chicken baked in foil with herbs, boiled pots, salad leaves. Good. Washed down with an American zinfandel.

My dietician will be pleased. I hope my stomach is.

On the other hand, food is not really mundane.

Fallen out with Mr Newell on pasoti. Now that is mundane.

Will be assembling some flat-pack furniture today. It's apparently a 2-person job, but since it's just me and #1 son, I'll be wrestling with it single-handed. When those cunning Scandiwegians started the whole '2 person assembly flat-pack' thing I don't suppose they considered whether a 4-year-old boy would count as the second crew member.

Just eaten THE MOST AMAZING roast pork.

Lying on the sofa digesting.

Just browsing photos on the internet










and imagining a chubby finger repeatedly hitting the delete button

I was going to have cauliflower cheese for tea today (no broccoli). Then I remembered I'm doing paid work in the morning.

Cauliflower cheese for tea tomorrow, then.

Must be the day for it, Frank. I've got Pork cooking this evening. Slowly being roasted. There's plenty to go round.

Can't get any bloody work done for registering new users on here!

Why's that then????

Reading group this afternoon. I really loved the book we've just read, so I'm looking forward to it.

Currently reading Jon Ronson's The Psychopath Test. Very, very interesting.

How nice to get back to the mundane after all thats been going on.

Not only did we talk about the book, we also had a little quiz, which I won. The prize was a small bar of very nice posh chocolate, which might just replace the cauliflower cheese for my tea.

Seems to be a good week for ATDers winning things.

I'm rather pleased today, because it is only one week to go and the roadworks all down Outland Rd will be finished.

That's if they stick to their schedule on the sign "Work commences here on the 9/1/12, for 16 weeks".

Just the beer will be fine for me thanks merv

This morning I am mostly pondering why people tell lies when they must know it'll only be worse when the truth comes out.

And eating a banana.

My head hurts.

There is no way I could be an accountant.

Not only the quarterly VAT return, but the year end to sort out and couple that with missing records due to a couple of office break-ins over Christmas/New Year, I think I might have earned a beer tonight!

Are Imigration aware?

There's a humungous black crow outside. It's scaring all the nice little birds.

Got to go to the library later, and to Sainsburys. I hope it's gone by the time I venture outside.
