Mundane News

Quite a successful afternoon...

I ran over the cord on the lawnmower and ripped it to shreds as I was cutting the grass. This blew the fuse on the consumer unit.

Then, putting my rear light back on the bike, after recharging it, I managed to snap it in half. I've glued it, and clamped it lightly in my vice.

Then, I decided to clear the boot of the car out after taking grandkids for a ride this morning only to find that a bottle of juice hadn't had the lid screwed on tightly so it'd leaked. Fortunately, the car has a rubber boot mat insert thingy so I rinsed it with the hose.

Had a tasty supper of fish, tabbouleh and steamed beans and broccoli.

Bought the fish as plaice, but while it was a flatfish, it sure as hell wasn't plaice. The skin was darker and the spots were black, the fish was wider across the beam and the skeletal structure at the edges was different.

Not that I care, it was bloody lovely whatever it was. And only 69p

Weird & probably not mundane.

Our bin collection day is tomorrow, so I walked the dog to my son's house, put their bin out & on my return put our bin out.

Went out later & the neighbour had brought our empty bin in.

Duoble checked online, bin day tomorrow.

So do I put the bin out tonight?

Not bothered putting the blue general recycling wheelie bin out, or the black bag. Not enough in either to warrant it.

We've to put them out whether there's enough in them or not.

I'm gonna dig that letter out which banned me from recycling. Wave that at them when they try to fine me.

I had so much planned for today - vacuuming, grass cutting, tidying up, etc. Thanks to a major CBA moment I went for a bike ride instead. I've the week off work so plenty of time for boring stuff.

What we having?

What we having?

I think it'll stretch to enough tea, cake and biskits to satisfy us mundaners

There is a moth whizzing around the lightbulb.

Have you tried turning out the light?

I'm not in the mood to sit in the dark

Latest art project has gone a bit Pete Tong. No, not the Tyrrell, I finished that on Saturday, but a pencil piece I've been working on.

Not sure if it's salvageable, but as I like what I've done with it, I'll have another try. Only downside, that was the last piece of paper I had in that colour and texture. Drat...

Snap!

So that is £25 to Kiva, and the rest for me, or should it be tother way round?

It's time I wasn't here!

Time I toddled off as well...
