Peggy's Mundane Thread

Five year old's school nativity play this afternoon. Several references to what sounded suspiciously like 'bleeding sheep', an angel who couldn't stop yawning, an excellent sheep (the five year old) and a camel who got very upset when his tail came off in his hand.

Lovely   

ok for once it starts raining once im inside and not once I go out.

Went to work re-union, conversation centred around who has died since the last one. don't know that I will bother again

its now pissing down and ive got to go out

Beautiful evening here. I've just come in from eating out on my patio. I'm going out this evening also. It's a bit windy so may have to put a cardie on.

I can't face trying to put the bed together.

Maybe tomorrow.

Light weight.   

Not going out.

Just took young son (40) to his school prize giving at the Guildhall, those DHSB parent needs to learn to be more patient when trying to find a car parking space

I got soaked dry now 3 hours later

Up early to make sure all bins are ready for the bin men, it is the last collection before xmas.

No little one's for the rest of the week. Mum home

I missed the Rhyme 'n' Bounce at the library today, but will be going home to have a nice bath with my rubber ducks

Off for a nap hard morning

Drums are loud

nap over, off to town to buy the wife and young son (40) some dinner.

It almost snowed in the mountainous region of Callington today.

It started as light hail and then turned to sleet that was enough to give a sticky coating to the parked windscreens.

The bed is done. Huzzah!

But......

If i could give one bit of advice, it would be - DO NOT BUY ANYTHING from [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

In the instructions here on page 2 [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] it says it will take 2 people 2 hours to assemble (a flat pack bed - 2hrs? Really?  ).

Well, they're not wrong -  it took 2 fuckin hours alright!   

When you have instructions online that bare no resemblance whatsoever to the ones in the actual box, its a worry. Then, when you read "please do not worry if a part looks bent, it will look fine once assembled" (see page 2 again), alarm bells start ringing. Add to that written instructions that actually stop mid-sentence (I kid you not), lettered parts that don't correspond to either the online instructions OR the written ones, and topped off by two screws and two dowels actually missing, and you have the sort of mini-clusterfuck Brent would be proud of.

This could and should be a one-man 30 minute job, comfortably. Breathtaking incompetence literally means you add a good 90 minutes trying to decipher the instructions, written by someone obviously under the influence of some seriously strong mind-altering hallucinogenics.

The daughter likes it though.   

Went to hospital today for my 2 o clock consultation. At 2:15pm there were no doctors. The first person went in at 3:15pm. I was the second in. Some rich woman bitched constantly that she had been waiting for a long time and had to be seen straight away as she had had an important call. A smartfone and expensive clothes do not make a person more important than anyone else. I hope that when the doctor sees her she gets a clean bill of health and never has to return.

awoke early today, had a nice walk by the Exe and went home to read the paper, pick a horse and a nice pot of tea

The days are about to get longer. Soon the sun will shine, birds will sing and fluffy little lambs will be eaten.

Up a little bit late today, the little one's will be down to play so I needed to rest, extra pocket money for them this weekend end of term, they both do well.

Will I go to the match or no that the question today?

Off for the paper, let the wife sleep on.

Had the Grandson over Thursday and the Grandaughter yesterday, their schools break up on different days. But find it difficult (not impossible) to cope with both at once.

Same here Pete

Got wet getting the paper.

Took the wife a cup of tea and the paper magazine up to her bed.

change tea to breakfast
