I have simply been a busy bee, what with work, pulling
the house to bits in preparation for the ongoing building works, the family and
a multitude of other stuff, writing has unfortunately had to take a back seat,
not because I want to, simply because life has been getting in the way,
yesterday I decided I needed a little break, I decided to call to my previous
place of employment for my quarterly fix of music from an ex colleague (874
albums but who’s counting).
First though I had to get there I wasn’t looking
forward to the journey as it makes me melancholy (for some mundane reason) and I
do still miss the place and some of the people but not the job (anymore) I was
at my point of departure with time to spare (as always) I pissed the driver off
straight away simply by paying for my fair with a ten pound note (bragging not
me) and it would appear I took all of his loose change, oh dear, how sad, fuck
off not my problem, ya whinging twunt! Bus drivers of late have been really
good this is the first grumpy one I had seen in ages, I took great delight by
staying in his line of sight and smiling at him with great delight.
What I had realised was that I had set in motion a
cascade of chaos of biblical proportions, people started getting on and it
appears that I had sat in someone’s seat, ha me with my reputation, who knew,
by the time I got to the bottom of the hill, imagine my surprise when I spied
Jabba the Hutt waiting, I hadn’t seen her in ages, it appears that she hasn’t missed
me, I don’t remember the title but I have told you all previously about Bus Seat
Bingo and the fun I had teasing her and “her” seat, I believe its called public
transport for a reason, with gnashing of teeth she sat close behind me lasers
burning into the back of my head, the journey got better as I bumped into
somebody I hadn’t seen in over three years who sat next me and we gossiped all
the way to the centre, thankfully he was staying on until the end of the line
so I’m afraid Jabba wasn’t able to slide down bus into her favourite seat, lol it’s
the simple things in life that cheered me up.
Onwards to the designated meeting place a cup of tea
and a chin wag about a lot of nothing, music collected I set off to head home,
bumping into old tenants who actually missed me and I did answer a couple of
queries, because I’m helpful and I want them to be as awkward as I can to my
former employers (just quote the legislation and they cant do sod all to you
bless them) some staff who actually seemed pleased to see me (no I’m not coming
back) and then a long slow ride home on an empty bus, that’s the luck of the
draw, but I enjoyed it like a slow boat off the coast of China, I simply sat
and enjoyed the scenery, soon I was home awaiting the youngest who was going to
assist me move stuff around for the mammoth works that are coming my way.
A quiet lunch and some small talk, its nice to see
her, I actually like to see all of my children, their partners and even the
grand kids I’m not the grump people think I am, well I am but I am trying to
improve my image, then a hike to a local charity shop to unload three bags of
cookbooks and some kitchen utensils that don’t get used often, then a slow walk
home ( I was shattered) to await the wife to take the youngest to see her nana
and then after that to take her back down the hill away from the delta to that
god forsaken hell hole….Bensham, actually
its not hat bad (not that great either
lol) I was simply using artistic liscence (no not autistic) then home to buy
the wife some chocolate (she has been down in the dumps ) and to buy me
something for supper, a dodgy korma that was pfft (2/10) I was distracted at
this point and I headed up the wooden hill around 10.30, I might as well as no
matter what time I go to bed I have a tendency to be up around 5 (actually 6.30
this morning, huzzah a lie in).
Today more of the same small chores chipping away at
the mountain of tasks, but I was determined to put fingers to the keyboard (and
not pen to paper) some shopping of the food variety, nothing for me this week
as I am still trying to go through what’s in the freezer although I did buy a
stroganoff at the same time as my curry last night, please god I hope it’s a damn
sight better than the curry! Tomorrow, well its back to work, a busy couple of
weeks before I’m on a weeks holiday, well I say holiday but with the list of
tasks I believe I could be looking forward to going back to work just a little
bit!
So, there you go, done and dusted, some fluff to keep
the thread active although someone sat and read over 80 blogs yesterday, some
people might just need to get a hobby (what do you mean me included) there are
a couple of things fermenting and hopefully there will be something coming down
the line hopefully mid-week, after shopping I will be doing some more small
task, more rubbish to dump in the yard, the wife needs to organise a man with a
van to get rid off it all as the pile is slowly starting to turn into a hill,
after that a mountain who knew, so there you go keep spreading the word and
keep an eye out for incoming, thanks for all of the kind words they do actually
make a difference, actually it just proves some peeps are actually reading the
bloody thing, so until next time………..Toodles!
