From the Ridiculous to the Sublime June 23, 2007
Posted by Jen in : Journal , trackbackWow and Woo Hoo! And Crikey! What a good start to the day. Well, when I say ‘good’, I’m also thinking ‘crap’. Let’s see…
I discovered at 6.30 this morning that I have been shortlisted for Post of the Week for this. Thank you, lovely Dandelion, for nominating me. I mean, y’know, it’s all nonsense and I don’t really care about such stuff but YAY! HURRAH! I am officially not entirely crap… Oh, yes… crap…
To rejoice in resplendent Saturday morning style, I went to put the kettle on. Bleeeurghhh. I shall spare you the details but let’s just say that the dog had disgraced himself all over the kitchen floor. Excellent.
You can guess who was nominated to clean that lot up. Ah, yes, there’s nothing like heaving into a Spar bag with your Marigolds covered in doggy doo to start the weekend off cheerily.
My grown-up part of the day consists of playing a yummy Telemann flute concerto and some equally ace Handel in a tiny, beautiful village church in Wittersham. I hope the sun doesn’t come out. I have a major problem with the sun shining through stained glass windows when combined with music.
It just always makes me cry. Always. And you know what?
When you’re all teary, snivelling and snotty, it’s almost impossible to blow. By 3pm, I plan to be clutching a very big glass of red falling-over water. My day of music-making and shit-shovelling will be done.

Congratulations on to PotW nomination. Well deserved.
Rachel Green? Out of Friends? Wo!
Look at it this way after that start your day could only get better. I don’t think you have much chance of sunshine today so you will be able to blow for England. Enjoy the falling down water.
Thanks Rachel! I’m secretly feeling a bit chuffed but, shhhh, don’t tell anyone, will you?
Dandelion: I’m ‘friends’ with all the celebs, don’t you know!??!
Sheepish: Bugger! I should have added ‘blowing for England’ on my CV… will remember that for future applications
blow for England. fnar.
Oh, Kate. How rude. I’m so disappointed in you. Snigger snigger. Funny, isn’t it? I tell you, I am Sid James reincarnated (if he’s dead at all). (Sorry Sid James fans/family if he’s not.) I am sooooo going to bring back the double entendre genre
Hey - that’s great.
Well done, sit back and watch that dog closely before it creates yet more work.
Will check out the POTW list.
Oh god, your posts are always so funny. I’m glad you’ve received recognition for them!

BetaMum: Luckily, I don’t need to keep too much of an eye on the hairy hound - he smells so bloomin awful it’s usually possible to track him by sniffing
JJ: But they’re not SUPPOSED to be funny… they are the tragic tales of my woeful life… waaaaaaaah. Thanks though. Yay!
