Coming home from a very late lock-in night out at 5.15am pissed as a fart and having a large bowl of cornflakes.
Simple pleasures.

Feck! What a glorious day

Ran the strimmer over the front and a bit of the back garden, pulled up some weeds, finished panelling the interior of my new shed and then strolled down to the 7-11 for some beers.

I considered posting a photo of my orange fingertips after consuming an entire bag of giant Wotsits

A mate came round for a few hours light entertainment so I offered to make dinner, which turned out really nice.

Wish I could remember what I put in it now, LOL, was a bit stoned when I made it.

Sorta "eastern oriental" chicken, but not curry, nice and spicy, with ginger and chilli and fennel. All made from scratch, no made-up sauces out of a jar (apart from a dab of mango chutney but that's more of a condiment than a pour-on sauce). He had crystal noodles, I didn't.

There were no complaints except from the cats, who didn't have anything left to eat off his plate, hah.

Glad my cooking mojo is moving back where it belongs.

I farted during a meeting today.

Apparently it sounded "like an inquisitive duck saying whaaaaaaat?"

Shame it smelled like a rotting duck.

And later on catching a species of fish I have never seen before, thats 9 different species from the river behind my house proving it's much cleaner than I thought!

Her-on-the-other-side neighbour just brought me over some grilled salmon steaks with sweet chili sauce on, and rice and Mediterranean vegetables.

There is so much that even I am thinking, nah, I need to stop now before I get too uncomfortable. I've put the cover back on it to keep the cats off it, because salmon. Dennis the tripod cat got a little bit, but her eyes keep wandering back to the tray with the cover on

I don't beg them to feed me this way, you know.
They just do it.


The pay off is, of course, that I have to download some sort of work file to her bloke's laptop, or create a bunch of nested folders for her to work out of, I dunno. Something relatively simple by the sound of it.

Edit: Create new username on Windows, mke 2 new folders on desktop, download four documents into folders, set up signature in gmail. That was a well-earned salmon dinner

I was pointing the bricks and this little guy jumped out while I was stabbing his home with a screwdriver (DPC mortar joint)

I ventured out into my garden with the sinister fiend earlier this week.

He's not at all frit of spiders, in fact he took great delight in tickling one of those stripey ones out of its web whilst we were standing looking at it, and then took even greater interest when he discovered how terrified I was of them.

I could almost see the thought running across his forehead "So that's how to terrify her..."

So I made an effort to explain to him just how hysterical an unwanted proximity to spiders makes me - such that no matter how much I might seem to like someone, an average sized spider in the mix , regardless of how harmless it might be, makes me unconsciously lash out in sheer rudderless terror, like a hurt trapped animal.

So if I punch him, he only has himself to blame.

Having said that, several days ago, I was sat here by myself on the sofa, when a huge brown seasonal arachnid* trotted right across the lino in front of me, with his legs all in "high up" mode.

But he was far enough away from me, and heading in a direction that didn't immediately affect me, so I just put my feet up on the cupboard under the table, and left him to it.

I occasionally get a bit anxious about where he went, where he lives, whether he is spying on me, or how many of his friends he has brought to party in my mouth whilst I am asleep, so when I'm feeling super paranoid, I might shake my slippers out from time to time, turn my pillows and bedclothes over before getting into bed, or not put my feet under the cupboard in case he is under there, but in general, I have to live and let live, unless they actually have the temerity to be On Me.

Cos then, all bets are off.




*probably "giant house spider" , genus Eratigena
