Fun Friday...


A day of excitement.
Washed this morning because I thought it was Sunday.
It wasn't.
Spent too long on cereal breakfast while reading papers online and crawling through Twitter.
Amazed at how much space the 'Daily Mirror' gives to Royal stories, especially when they are so flimsy. 
Eventually went for haircut.
On way noticed how much my Tweed jacket has shrunk hanging in the cupboard over the past two years.
Met a museum worker.  Gossiped.  
Had haircut, £9:50, enjoyed chatting to the few customers there.

Wandered home via the park.  I wanted to check out the tent that was appearing as I left the house.
It appears to be connected to the building, a centre for disabled people, and is full of tables, chairs, tea and biscuits I suspect.  I did not go near.
A few people were in the park, just before noon.  
No youngsters, the adolescents were missing, not at school until next week so must still be in bed.
Clambered up stairs, again convinced the landlord has added steps to them.
Put on the washing, annoying the neighbours by doing the heavy stuff.
Made dinner, main meal at midday in bit to ease diet.  This appears to work.
Wasted time arguing with folk on 'Daily Express' comments.
I am now convinced they are either Tory activists, 'Express numpties, or the 77th Brigade.  Some have an enormous amount of postings, some appear to want to continue the argument, using strange posts, and some appear to have several names.
I could be wrong.
 

As the washing hung over a heater I realised it was almost tea time.  This I ruined with a Scots sausage roll, burnt!  The neighbours never ask me to cook.
Now I sit in my bed, realising I am missing the football, whatever it is, listening to the distant sound of the film 'Dirty Dancing.'  I am not amused by that.  Over in the gardens they have a film show once again.  Quite why they always use such ghastly films I know not.  Maybe they are looking for the randy teenage audience?  The music is ghastly also.
The weather is fine, which has helped make the day.
However, I am not sure my heart can stand the excitment daily...

Mr A You seemed to have a busy day of it. As for me I got up late as we were late coming back from the lake cabin last night. Prince and Puppy changed the magnesium rod in the hot waster heater to keep the water from smelling like rotten eggs. It was intended that I enjoy the lake but with many a MENS messes, I tackled the bath tub and toilet to make them sparking white again plus I cleaned the frig which I am sure has not been touched since the last time I did it. Others go to have fun but they do not clean as well as I do. Besides a little of my grandma who was OCD comes out when I see something to clean. So today I took it easy on my old bones. I proceed to get up all the Fur babies hair out of my kitchen, and I polished a few spoons and but most important I watered my poor plants which are outside. with this 100 degrees weather they needed a drink to survive. Peace and Have a great weekend. We have a race on TV tonight from Daytona.
