Over
brekkie we watched "Celebrity Come Dine With Me". I
say "Celebrity" - I had no idea who any of the
so-called celebrities were supposed to be. I spent a little time
playing with my new toy: an early birthday pressie, Jose got me an
Android tablet. I'm struggling with it. Trying to get some apps on
the thing is tricky. It alternatively thinks it's my Samsung phone or
an iPad. I expect I'll get the hang of it eventually.
Whilst
"er
indoors TM"
abluted I took Furry Face for a walk. The entire street was awash
with sheets of newspaper, with pages scattered everywhere. Yesterday
was the scout group's paper collection. They clearly didn't collect
as much as they might have done. Whilst out we met so many small
people being physically dragged about by huge dogs they couldn't
control. One even hollered to us from fifty yards away asking us to
go the other way so his dog wouldn't drag him after us. Why do people
have dogs that they cannot control? I know Fudge can have his
moments, but if it did come to a fight, I would win. Today's people
wouldn't.
And
so round to collect "My
Boy TM"
and his entourage. He wasn't quite himself having had a disturbed
night's sleep. He'd apparently had a nightmare in which I was had off
of a gremlin(!)
He'd also had the disturbing news that one of his old muckers was
consorting with a lady who was best described as "half
man half hippopotamus".
I think he was glad of an afternoon out to take his mind off of the
stress.
We
then made our way to Hastings for a birthday party for my nephew. Tom
had a good party, everyone had a good time; there was quite a decent
spread, and having eaten far too much we then played musical statues
- gangam style. This was apparently good fun if you like that sort of
thing.
It
would have been good to have stayed longer, but little ones were
getting tired. So pausing only briefly to admire the patriotic flag
planted in a local dog turd we made our way home. As we drove we were
asked if we fancied Sunday roast. A gammon joint and all the
trimmings sounded rather good, so once at the residence of "first
fruit" we stayed for dinner. As dinner was being cooked I
made dinosaurs with Lacey. The super-glue did get everywhere, but
that's what super-glue does.
And
then diner. Gammon, potatoes, leeks, pease pudding. And the gravy!
However we'd already eaten far too much at the afternoon's buffet.
Having a roast dinner on top was perhaps rather greedy of me. But it
was good.
I
would like to have slobbed about after dinner, but "er
indoors TM"
had to go bowling. So we came home where I sat with Fudge in front of
the telly for the evening.
Fudge
was soon snoring rather loudly...
