Blog written in two parts in one. First part was from
Thursday/yesterday
I guess this blog will be finished tomorrow or tonight if I get
chance. So much can happen between those hours. Right now, I feel like going to
bed. What a wonderful life that would be to be able to please oneself and
listen to your body.
I have washing to bring in from outside where it has been
drying. I have dinner to cook and piles of clothes to move from our bed to the
robes. Then I think I am going out. It’s that time of week where we go to
humiliate ourselves at the pub quiz, but right now I am so tired. A bit like
the Little Fella he has slept all day. Hub left him at home today as he has had
a really busy two days. Especially on Monday when Hub woke at half five and his
day outside began just after six in the morning and he returned after seven at
night. Then yesterday an early start and back well after half seven.
I have bought them a new bed. Bed number I can’t remember,
about 12 in six years. That’s 12 each by the way, so, 24 beds costing at least
£35 each, so, over £800 worth of dog beds. And this one I caught one of them
raking it as if to start to bite. I shouted they stopped. If I am not in the
room with them, then what? Bed number 13?
I have just bought them a longish bit of what they call vet bedding but
this is thick and has a rubber backing. At least it will grip the wooden floor.
Let’s see how long these last?
Shamrock has seven days off work but I bet she picks up a
shift. Though she will be exhausted as she has a big party to organise. Bless her,
she’s arranging her sisters baby shower. She has been working on it for weeks
and weeks. If not months. I hope her sister appreciates just what she has done
for her?
I had a meeting this afternoon. I managed to hold my tongue
when necessary. I was on the edge though… the lady I was interviewing with was
lovely. Calm. So sweet. Unlike me. Hahaha. So many questions that had to be
asked and answered. We were a team. She’s so lovely and polite. Like good cop
bad cop. But again, the end result was a good one.
OK, so I shall leave this now and be back. When? Not sure. But
part two will continue.
Already next day, how did that happen? Smile.
And here we are, part two. So, we went to the pub quiz. I could
write so much about those visits, but the punters and staff are lovely, may be
in the future I shall update you all about our times there.
The people we go with asked us to go out with them on
Saturday. Let’s see. The weather is due to be stunning this weekend. But where
one of the people suggested is three hours drive there and back. Fish &
chips, well chips for me, both for the rest. Ice-cream and beer is on the menu.
It’s funny as Hub doesn’t drink any alcohol now days he just doesn’t want it. It
all started when he wanted to lose some weight. I mean, he used to have two
pints once a week at the quiz and perhaps a gyn and tonic once a week at home,
so he’s never been a big drinker. But when he was trying to loss some excess,
he stopped totally. And our neighbour who we go to the quiz with, can’t
understand it. It’s really funny to see people’s reactions to not drinking. We live
in such a drink culture. So, he sits with his lime and soda and I have my lime
and lemon and we are fine, but our neighbour I guess feels as if he’s drinking
alone. Well so, as long as he is happy and we are with him for company not to
drink. It shouldn’t be pressure, should it. He said to Hub yesterday he hopes
hub doesn’t let him down on Saturday. I thought he meant not go out with him,
but he meant not let him down as in drinking… haha. Bless him. Hub told him he
would not be drinking. Our neighbour replied we can’t drive all the way to that
pub and not drink their beer? My question is, why not? As long as he enjoys it,
and we enjoy the time with them, what more should be expected? Mind you, I did
say do we have to drive that far for the beer?
There is beer on our doorstop. Mind you there are no good restaurants. Or
ice-cream shops.
In London there are loads of great restaurants but here
loads of restaurants but not good. London have so much competition, so should
we have, as we are a city but no, even in comparison to my beautiful
Northumberland, everything tastes the same here.
Hub working from home today. I just handed him a cup of tea. Looks like
Fridays are phone days. It’s none stop. So, I’m having to be quiet and it’s so
funny how the dogs are too. If he had been at work, Waggatail would have had every
toy out. She never lays down normally but when the Little Fella is here, they
are sounding like little piglets snoring.
Their new vet beds are still looking fine, so they survived
one night. They are really fluffy and thick. In inches, they are about 40 long.
And 30 inches wide. 102 cm long, 76c wide.
The width is fine, but I preferred if I could get half the length again
so another 20 inches or 50.8 cm. and guess how much the company wanted for
that? £91.
How much?
I almost died. I could
have had my bedroom fitted out with a carpet for that much.
It’s really wet today we are expected 5ml of water. I love
the rain especially when I don’t have to go out and I know how much the gardens
need it. We are expected to have the driest summer on record this year. So, you
watch, hosepipe bans. It’s crazy we live on an island and we have water
shortage? And as I have said before we have clean water coming into our
toilets. Why we can’t have sea water filtered, I don’t know.
Thank you for your feedback with regards to questions I have
been putting out there, as in food for thought? Conversation starters. Well here
are some would you rathers.
Would you rather be alone for the rest of your life or be
surrounded by annoying people?
So, think about that, and what is your answer?
Me? Well it’s easy. Alone for the rest of my life. annoying people boil my blood. I have managed
to eliminate most people who annoy me/us, thankfully out of our lives forever
but still they come to us as if an epidemic. I’m sure there is a farmer out
there who has land and plants seeds which grow into annoying people. Haha.
Here’s an interesting question, well I found it to be so.
Would you rather be someone who discovered a new planet or
someone who discovered a cure for a deadly disease?
Again, for me that’s easy and I bet my regular Bloggets can
guess this one. I believe in looking after our own planet before discovering
other places to spoil. Inhabit. So, of course saving people comes first.
Ooooooo this is a good one. Now, this will make us all think….
Would you rather have a horrible long-term memory or a
horrible short-term memory?
For me I did have to take three and a half seconds to think
about this one, have you thought about it yet? What are your thoughts?
Me, definitely I would rather forget my past so horrible long-term
memory for me please.
Would you rather find a suitcase with £5,000,000 or find
your true love?
Oh, gosh, now for me that is a challenge. I did find my true
love and for me I was lucky but there are some people out there who find their
true love, and the question was find them, not live happy ever after with them.
So, you find your true love and it doesn’t work out? Think of the fun you could
have had with all that money? Smile. So, think about that one and what is your
answer? For me an easier one would be if I found my true love and we could live
happy ever after but he was poor or I could have found that case, which would I
prefer? And the answer will always be, my true love.
Money doesn’t buy happiness but it can buy an easier life
and it can help for research into treatments/research for things like cures for
certain disabilities that may be affecting your lives right now. for me I would
pay a load of money to research into cures for Retinitis Pigmentosa to be able
to see again is my goal in life.
And finally, one more question. Would you rather be
beautiful / handsome but not intelligent or hyper intelligent but super ugly?
Haha, for me beautiful. Beauty gets you far in life. no
matter what people say but having said that, beauty doesn’t last. So, then
what? I guess if you are beautiful, you are never ugly. If you are already
ugly, there’s no chance really, but having said that, to be recognised for one’s
brain is such an honour, a privilege and a great feeling. But to be told you are looking beautiful is
also sweet. So, hmm. I’m stuckish on
that one. I would have to think a bit longer.
Wherever you are in the world, have a great weekend, won’t
you? I will be back and if you need to contact me via email please do. I’m now
going to read to see what you have sent today. I shall answer too as I have
time on my hands today. With love.
