By the time I’d got out
late from work, taken an age driving home and one thing and another it was
after midnight before I got to bed last night. I was pleased for a bit of a
lie-in this morning. I eventually woke just before nine o’clock to find a bed
full of dogs. As they and “er indoors TM” snored I put a load
of washing on, made brekkie and had a
look-see at the Internet.
I
had another two friend requests on Facebook from rather dodgy
looking individuals. The first claimed to be called “Noah” and
hailed from Los Angeles where she “works at Mistress”, and judging by
some of the photos on her Facebook page would be far better employed working at
more hygienic activities.
The
second one (Alexandra) comes from Fresno and claimed to be “domina,
sadistic, classy” (is that good or bad?). She lists “dogs” as
one of her interests so I suppose we might have that in common, but judging by
her Facebook profile she would seem to be far more interested in running round
in the nip with a very saucy expression whilst odd looking people in even odder
bondage costumes look on.
So
far not a single one of these “ladies” (if that is the right term)
have offered me any cake… If they did I might be a bit more interested.
I
sent out a birthday wish to a young lady who once did offer me cake, and got
dressed. Call me old fashioned if you will, but even with absolutely nothing on
the agenda, jim-jams is for the evening, not the morning.
I
set the washing machine loose on a job lot of my undercrackers and went up to
the attic where I carried on with my Lego pirate ship. On 8 November last year a colleague gave me a
little pressie. Her mother had acquired a Lego pirate ship set for her
children, but on finding some bits were missing they weren’t able to complete
it.
Did
I want it?
Yes
please !!!
It
has been a rather fun project - it has taken me
three months, and I’ve had to make serious use of my spare bits. I had to send
to BrickLink (it’s a Lego thing) in Germany and America for an anchor,
masts, plastic rigging and steering wheels, and to Hobbycraft for the black
yarn rigging.
Now
it is built I need to find some space to display it… I have a vague idea of
building a Lego harbour round it…
With
it finished “er indoors TM” (and the dogs) came to
have a look. “er indoors TM” then misplaced something or
other, and announced that the attic might be haunted as things keep going
missing from there.
And
then the missing thing turned up. Where it had been left.
I
then slobbed on the sofa with the dogs for a bit then, seeing the earlier
drizzle has eased up, we took the dogs for a little walk round the roads. As we
walked I carried on the dogs’ walk training. Treacle always sits when we come
to cross a road. Morgan is learning to do so. And Bailey shows no interest in
doing so and flatly refuses to do so.
We came home, and I
made myself comfortable in front of the telly wand watched a load of episodes
of “Four In A Bed” in which again the people running the worst bed &
breakfasts were by far the most critical of everyone else. One of the places
being visited today came in for a lot of criticism from everyone; every
breakfast they served was absolutely smothered in pepper. The woman brandishing
the pepper pot claimed that if anyone doesn’t like pepper then they should say
so *before* she empties half a pound of the stuff on their plate. What
is that all about?
As
I watched telly there was a minor hiatus as the power suddenly went off. We had
a five-minute power cut. Apparently a mile or so away “My Boy TM”
had a power cut which lasted for an hour.
With power restored and telly watched I spent some time fetching
and carrying whilst “er indoors TM” dusted dragon
ornaments. They needed some dusting, and we only did about thirty of so of her
six hundred dragons.
With one set of shelves
dusted we set about a very good dinner whilst watching today’s episode of “Lego
Masters”. In this one the teams made dragons which then flew (attached
to drones) round a slalom course. Three crashed catastrophically.
Having just worked six
days on the trot, I quite enjoyed having a lazy day… even if there was so much
more we might have done.
