I'm just generally pissed off
Just when I think things are going kind of okay, random shite stuff keeps happening, nothing major, just irritating little things.
But they're all building up.
And when that happens, its usually one of those "straw that breaks the camel's back" kind of situations.

I feel like I might go off half-cocked at the wrong person.

I was in a good mood earlier, ffs

Fucking rain.
I got up this morning, fucked about as ya do, got all gussied up to go to work on the bike, stepped out the front door with me lid in me hand ... RAINING!
I'm sure it was dry and sunny when I was lying in bed looking out my bedroom window.

So yeah nah, fuck that.
Went back indoors and took off all the bike gear, got the train instead.

Got wet anyway, just walking down the Kings Road.
Still ... saw a nice wedding on the steps of Chelsea Town Hall.

I’ve just put on a new pair of varifocals (actually bought a while ago but I kept on with the old ones) and I swear this iPad is now concave. Weird.

Stairs are going to be fun.

Being told that I'm not a team player because I don't commit fraud, odd for a security company.

I'm still having grocery delivery anxiety.

Eventually got my groceries delivered, but the fuckers only refunded me for the products they didn't deliver. They didn't refund me the delivery charge for them not delivering to me, but which I paid for.

They did give me a £10 voucher off my next shop but I am not in the mood for their jiggerypokery at present.

Cunts.

PLUS I've been waiting in for the 8-10pm slot for a *second* delivery (which included boxes of cat food) and somehow I have failed to notice that the order did not complete on the checkout page

So the cats are very cross at only being supplied with biscuits, and are turning up their noses at the freshly cooked chicken which I slaved over yesterday, and I feel guilty.

PLUS
For various reasons I have somehow managed to have salmon twice today.
Both times with broccoli and potatoes.

Lunch was better than dinner.
But both were kind of *inflicted* upon me by circumstance, and really I think I've had quite enough salmon for one week now, thank you very much.

Unsatisfactory food experiences. I really hate having them. They throw me right off-balance.

This isn't some oblique reference to a change in sexual preference is it?

Arguably this should go in the coronavirus thread . . . gears ground by Hand-cock's announcement that the NW is heading towards increased restrictions. Again. Why can't they see the bigger picture and commensurately apply vaccinations so there's greater intensity of vaccinations in the areas that need it most?

Actually, by "NW", do you mean Liverpool? If so, it's a government plot to get rid of looney lefties
