Boredom, boozing and hoovering October 22, 2006
Posted by Jen in : Bits and Pieces, Journal, Writing Bits , 3 commentsWell, today is a rare chance to have a whole day to myself: I did three days’ work in one yesterday, meaning that my Saturday evening was spent feeling completely and utterly knacked out in front of the TV. No matter, I thought, tomorrow I will ‘do stuff’. Hmmmmm… the boys come back at teatime and so far I have done what is officially known as Bugger All. Lovely bf is even more under the weather than the crappy weather. We have sadly run out of Lemsip so I am having to medicate him with Sake. Well, it’s warm and liquidy… must be the same, right? I’m gallantly assisting in the Sake consumption while watching Thursday’s episode of The Bill which isn’t quite the day of creative genius I had envisaged.
And it’s raining. Stinky Dawg’s tummy is making very peculiar noises that herald the fact that he has not yet been Officially Emptied. And he keeps staring at me. In a smelly sort of way. A way that means I will have to go slomping and sliding through the mud before I can continue doing bugger all. Sigh.
Actually, I am misleading you, dearest reader. I have, in fact - drum roll please! - done the hoovering. Not just normal hoovering but ‘real’ hoovering with the ‘thin end’. Behold the loveliness of the carpet. Despite my day of fannying about, I am the seriously proud owner of beautiful hoover swirls. Yay. Am a domestic goddess. Slightly tipsy one, perhaps, but… HOOVER SWIRLS! Who said domestic drudgery wasn’t fun?
