Peggy's Mundane Thread

knit & natter group at Tivvy library at the moment.... no songs about bus' or dingly dangly scarecrows, but a pot of tea ,biscuits and china tea cups. I never knew it was so refined around here   

Does that mean you're refined?

I've nearly done my contracted hours for the whole week, and it's only Wednesday Tuesday.

Is anybody else worried that Alanno hasn't got a toilet?

Grandson No2 plays the Inn-Keeper in his years nativity.....looks like we need to put a razor on his Christmas list.....oh wait a minute maybe only some glue remover is required.....they do grow up so quick these days.

I bought some chocolate santas (pound shop innit) for the small people. Then I saw some pictures on facebook which featured half unwrapped chocolate santas which looked like (cough) male members. So of course I had to half unwrap the ones I'd bought to check whether they also didn't look like santa. Now there's very little left of either of them.

Still - they didn't know they had them, so I should get away with it.

Extreme child chocolate abuse.

Roof repaired at last, should repair the damage wall with new wallpaper on Friday as we have nearly finished painting the outside off the house.(great help from my nephew)

Church tomorrow (so early finish) the little one's has a Carol Service at Emmanuel Church.

One month today before I officially retire

Today's date 11/12/13 will not return for another 90 years

You're not going to 'return' for another 90 years? I think you need to borrow my Joe 90 space suit.

Noticed the date? 11/12/13 is 'noughts and crosses day'

By Plymouth Herald | Posted: December 11, 2013

It will probably pass most of us by without even noticing.

But we won’t see anything like it again for nearly a century.

Today is known as “noughts and crosses day” because of the sequential numbers in today’s date: 11/12/13.

The sequence can be taken one step further if we think of ten minutes past 9am which gives us: 9/10/11/12/13.

There is some controversy over the next time we see a sequential date: some experts say it will be February 1, 2103 (1/2/3) but others claim it will be in 97 years time on September 8, 2110 which gives us 8/9/10

I think my wife was hoping for much more

Just for you, POI, I shall go and buy another two on the way to fetch them from school tomorrow and hand them straight over.

(Hardly going to be seen eating a chocolate santa on the bus, now, am I?)

ive got a sore throat today   

Have all the Mundaners gone on holiday together ?

Yup. We formed a new cabal and went off to Butlins for a couple of days. Innit   

In other news, I ended up buying little cupcakes with christmassy icing (four for a pound, Spar) instead of chocolate santas. The eight year old took one little bite and then announced she didn't like the icing. The five year old ate the whole thing and then announced she didn't like the icing.

Mrs ZYPH and I went for a long walk in our local woods....returning to the car I checked my shoes for doggy doo as you do......chuffed to find that they where clean....having walked through the odd million or so leaves I had triumphed......shoes were a little wet so I walked around to the boot of the car to put my other pair on........nearly did a double somersault with pike (take note Tom) having trod in guess what around the back of the car !!!

The wife, two sons and the daughter-in-law has all gone to the university to watch the grand-daughter through out the afternoon performing her ballet and tap shows she is also in a Anna show put on by the musical theatre group.

Myself and my 5 year grand-son are having great time.

Grand -daughter (6) came home with a jazz dancing scholarship

Wow, that sounds rather cool to me and not at all mundane. I have always been too tall and 'big' to do that sort of stuff, but my life has always been mundane.

Spot on, hippo. Big stars and stuff to T&G's grand-daughter   

And big scowls to T&G himself for posting a non-mundane item

I also received a telling off from the grand – son today that I burned his dinner (tea to me) and told the returning family that I was on my laptop watching the footy not the dinner.

Ps she will receive extra pocket money on top of the end of term for the hard schoolwork they both have done this term

I get told off by small people regularly. I make them walk too far, don't push them high enough on the swings, talk about stuff like bogies and farting, make them clean their teeth ... I think that's what grown-ups are for nowadays.

My Grandchildren love my songs about bogies and farting and request repeats of, "If your happy and you know it pick your nose" etc.
