I need a char, I really do. Once again in site of my heavy workload I had to spend much of the day cleaning this place, and I only cleaned it a few weeks ago. The rubbish bins were full, the sink greasy and I cannot mention the windows which were cleaned only last September! Hmmm that reminds me about the fridge.... Let's not go there, I'm sure that green stuff was there when I bought it. Also when I went out today I had no shirt to put upon my scrawny fifteen something stone body, the ironing needs done and I know no ironic woman. The noise from the hoover (which isn't a hoover as I bought it from Tesco but you know what I mean) does my head in and the smell of bleach is not good for me I'm sure. On top of this the bike needs cleaned again, all that dusty old railway stuff, and the hours just fly by when I'm watching telly working on projects. I can tell you I was fair worn out by lunchtime and have been quite puggled ever since.
On top of this I had to chat up that nice lady at the Sainsbury checkout at seven thirty after I had put the bike away, shopping early (not for Christmas) is the way to avoid crowds. Then I had to carry the large bag home all by my weak self, and the shop is at least 200 yards away. (Which brings to mind a robber in a small town. He robbed a shop he used regularly, then hopped off home at high speed, home lay 100 yards from the shop. The police found him quite quickly. That was one of last years fun stories.) So much to do and so little time to do it. I do not know how I survive. Actually all this dust I raised makes it hard to see the screen....
It would be unfair of me to mention Hibernian's unfortunate seven nil defeat at the hands of Swedish side Malmo last night, (9-0 on aggregate over two games) so I will say nothing about that. I like to be kind! Hibs in truth were doing OK for the first 20 minutes, and the fans for once (the prices were lowered) came out to support them. However once the Swedes took the lead their nerves disappeared and when relaxed they cut Hibs to pieces. A funny game football, had Hibs scored first it may well have been Malmo who collapsed and today we might be shocked by a Hibernian success. Sadly that did not happen and the knives are out. Football is like that. Is Pat up to the job as manager? Could it be the players are just rubbish? St Johnstone, with a smaller budget beat Norway's Rosenburg who have a much larger amount of cash to spend, so Scottish football is not all bad.
Ah well, the real work starts soon, and we will see if the Hibs players have what it takes in the real world, I canny wait, I'm laughing already!

I had to look up 'puggled' - lovely word.
The last cartoon is very funny.
I'm staying with friends where the wifey is house proud...her husband and I regularly have to climb back into the house via the underground garage after being swept out through the front door with the rest of the rubbish...
Housework is a pain in the butt. I can think of much more pleasant things to do with my time!
Housework is a battle of which I will never be the winner!
Stuff housework...there are more fun things to do!
Poor old Hibs - 7-0 now that hurts
Bob, All Scots words are lovely.........
Fly, I can see you doing that! :)
Lee, OK, I'll leave mine for a couple of months....
Alan, Terrible innit? "giggle"
I understand that eating fish is supposed to be really healthy, but I fail to see how a single char could make much of a difference. For they are not all that big--right?
I may have caught a tiddler here......
Lovely photo of evening sky. Cartoons as funny as ever. Hello dear Adullamite. You are fairing well, I see.

RDG, I fair better when you are here.....doing the ironing!
Great post and I liked the cartoons also,specially the one of the moon, appealed to my paranoid spirit.
I have been doing a lot of cleaning lately too, specially the front path which is having all kinds of stuff shed on it by a big tree nearby. If you leave it down it gets very sticky and all the dust from the road sticks on it, and you tread it inside the house when you come in. I am not normally that house proud but there are limits.
Jenny, The moon one appealed to my surreal side. That sticky tree stuff is awful.
