Clocks went forward last night but sadly only for an hour we could do with them going forward about a year. With half the clocks in a the house updating themselves and the other half being wrong for the next six months I now won’t know what time it is as well not having a clue what day of the week it is! I managed a measly 6 hours sleep but I guess that’s what I deserve for my slothful ways yesterday. The weather is poop the sun has made a half arsed attempt at shining but there are icy cold gales thwarting my gardening plans (I’m a fair weather gardener, well actually I’ve not found a weather suitable for gardening since I had children and two jobs)
Started the day as every Sunday should be with a big grill up (that never sounds as exciting as a fry up but I simply don’t fry any of it in an attempt to keep half an artery open) I’m going to need intravenous filter coffee to tackle today’s lethargy. I briefly turned the news on but swiftly turned it to Horrid Henry (in the unlikely event someone is reading this in the future Horrid Henry is an animated children’s program about a precocious little shit that inspires your children to be obnoxious arseholes) whilst I’m making sure my children know this is as serious a situation as you can get I don’t want Fabian terrified to the extent I used to be over nuclear war, as a child I used to dream in black and white always the same sort of dream about trying to find somewhere to hide with my family but someone always got left behind and I would be searching for them or trying to drag them to safety when the bomb was dropped (I swear a psychologist would have a field day with that)
A bit of a quiet day for all of us, Millie rarely came out her room apart from some amazing comedy timing when I asked her to get the washing in as it was looking “a little overcast” after about 30seconds of her going outside the biggest hail stones I’ve seen in ages pelted her which made for great viewing but bless she stuck it out and retrieved all the clothes, we have been through pretty much every weather possible today l, I am starting to wonder if 2020 could be the apocalypse??
Fabian mostly watched the tv and I pottered around doing odd jobs but not really achieving anything great, I’ve had a few dips in my mood today but will pull myself together or this will be a downward spiral I can’t indulge right now. highlight of the day was Fabian FaceTimeing his girlfriend Scarlet, this is a bit of a long term thing now, they have been going out for over 2 years give or take a few break ups, they are so sweet she bosses him around and he does as she tells him….just the way it should be.
The menu today was Sausage sandwiches for brunch and the evening was Spanish chicken, patas bravas and a frittata followed by pineapple upside down cake with custard for those that eat pineapple and a slice of my mum’s awesome Victoria sponge for those that don’t. Giz is dropping mum and dad shopping on the doorstep so they don’t have to go out and she is leaving gifts of cake and new curtains for us! Roast lamb and veggies ready to cook tomorrow.
We had a rare and really nice family evening watching Sister Act together without phones (I’m a little shocked we didn’t need surgery to remove our phones and pleased to report our necks still hold our heads up from our chests long enough to watch a feature film!! Millie and I stayed up and watched Sister Act 2 I bloody love those films and really need a bit more “feel good” viewing in my life right now.
Midnight bedtime how rock and roll…..get me!
Life but not as we know it
