So... What oiled your gears today? ARCHIVE

[Bhud]

Although I always get a bit anxious about it, sailed through the MOT, as usual. I particularly enjoyed watching the MOT testers from a place where I couldn't be seen. I think they liked seeing the old Kawasaki there. It's a handsome bike in the right light and at the right angle. But I didn't want to waste my time waiting while they talked codswollop to each other about being a courier in the old days or something, so I'd turned off the manual fuel tap, and unplugged the cap on the second cylinder. They couldn't work that out, and it clonked out once it got up their ramp. All that was left for them to do was their work, so they just went through their checklist. I do like to be helpful and make things easier for people. It was a quick MOT.

A man on the bus said "Bonjour, oo la la!" in a very sexy voice when I glanced up at him with a smile in my eyes, as I passed him.

But I kept going, cos I'm like that.

Dunno what he really looked like, except that he was tall... always a bonus. I like to look up at men.
I like to look down at men, too, come to think of it.

I would not have thought I looked particularly French.
I had on jeans and a big white shirt with trainers and a zip-up cardy.
Hardly the epitome of elegance

Anyway, it put some sparkle in my day.

Wifies away with friends for a long weekend. (Yes, she's just squeezed that in before covid restrictions bite).

SO I have a whole raft of things I can do.

Ride my bike somewhere and back. Go and take the boat out for the weekend to somewhere and back. Sadly neither of which would include pubs due to the lurgy.

Have a wine and cheese and more wine party on my own at home watching sports or movies on the TV. I have the old Battlestar Galactica to watch again.

Borrow my mates dog and take it for a walk to a very smelly river allowing it to mudify itself before I take it back to him, then have a wine and cheese party.

That sounds good. Decided.

The boiler replacement chaps are here, bright and early.

Thank goodness I set my alarm and had time to have a shower/get dressed/feed the cats before they got here.

A visit to the garden centre yesterday. I came out laughing because amongst the increasing amount of tat and rubbish it sells nowadays, it is currently offering 'upcycled' car tyres (i.e. painted white...) for £9.99 each, broken concrete flags for £2.99 and broken bricks for 40p.

People pay to get rid of that stuff, they don't buy it

After a few months off, I'm back in the pool.

Though I could do with some new goggles. Current ones are starting to leak.

Slightly annoying that you cannot use the changing rooms, so I have to towel down as best I can and stick a towel on the seat of the car so I don't leave a wet patch!

Meg the kitten attacked the wife, oh how I laughed.

I bought a laser pointer so the kitten can chase the red dot around the floor, £4.49 from pets section in Sainsbury's. The wife has poor blood circulation and has a vibration plate that also heats up to get the blood pumping through her feet and also heats if desired. She is bare foot, eyes closed, headphones on, listening to some classical musical whilst the vibro plate heats her feet and massages her into bliss.

Meg is chasing the red dot like a demented thing, jumping claws out trying to get it.

I lasered the wife's right foot, her big toe actually. Sort of reminded me of a COD game where you point the laser at a target for a homing missile. Meg was the missile, I fucking laughed, really laughed. I don't know who squealed/screamed the loudest; Meg in full flight attack mode claws out; homing in on the dot on the wife's toe or the wife as Meg clawed her toe in triumph.

Cheered me right up that did.

The paltry sum that existed in my ex-husbands bank account came through just in time to pay for half my bike expenses.

Result.

I made a sort of half-arsed minestrone soup with some mutton chops, celery and a tin of tomatoes, and a dash of baby pasta bows.

I'd made some "cheddar crisps"* yesterday, so floated a couple of them on the top to melt in, and sliced up a spring onion for "fresh green" flavour.

Its well nice.



*Clumps of grated cheddar, melted on an oven tray and then kept in the fridge til required. Useful as fuck!


Edit: It really was incredibly autumnal and perfect.

Got a coffee table made of hazelwood. Handmade from hazelwood, by a family member. From a tree that was hit by lightning in the 1960s in an in-laws garden, and the wood had been stored until they got round to maing something(s) with it. Which was this summer.

Grow, grow, the lightning tree, never give in too easily."

Thank you SO FUCKING MUCH for that ear worm.

Today I am mostly ridiculously cheerful because I am 2/3rds through a task at work that I've been dreading having to do since June.

I could do with having a job that I actually like doing. Am waiting on this private shrink job coming together, but in the meantime I am getting seriously itchy feet.

I am oiled today!
I had to take the car to the garage for work on it I can’t do due to lack of knowledge & specific tools.
I thought my wallet was going to get raped ! , however the bill was about £100 cheaper than I expected .

Happy days, happy Pepperami is happy
