After the mother of all sleepless nights with three trips to the loo a 2am a couple of weirdo dreams my restlessness inevitably led to more random eBay purchases that will be a total surprise to me when they turn up, no only will I not remember buying these very odd things I won’t remember what I had in mind when I chose them I’ve only just remembered I’m supposed to be making a sunshade out of the five used saris I purchased on one of my late night shopping shifts! Anyway I hauled myself out of bed after a balmy three hours sleep and after half an hour yelling at Millie to get up and watch Fabian I left for work.
I arrived at work to be greeted by my landlords wife and honestly thought this is it she’s going to tell me my shops being sold this week but no just a bright and breezy hello and handed me a parcel not a chuffing word!! Now they don’t know that I know the sale of the shop is due to complete on Friday they haven’t even told me it’s on the market but my miss Marple skills are legendary and my sixth sense and a bit of digging turfed up a truth I wish I didn’t know and I’m intrigued if they will ever say anything or will I just come into a stranger on Saturday??? Still work needed to go on so I cracked on with my orders but it no longer feels like a nice place I want to be!
Today should have been Fabians first day back to school after a half term that didn’t happen and being that my homeschool would fail any sort of Ofsted inspection we decided not to bother today instead Fabe spent his time playing in the pool under Millies supervision, he decided to make a boat out of the laundry basket no one had the heart to tell him so he found out the hard way that boats with multiple holes sink very fast when you get in them, then Millie (the brains of the family) thought she would help him by taping all the empty plastic bottles from the recycling to the basket so he climbed in full of hope of sailing the 8ft to the other side but again capsized so abandoned his career as a ship builder……..at least for today.
Breakfast was my favourite toast and butter lunch was a crafty battered sausage I grabbed on my way to deliver to an undertakers in Cranbrook and dinner Millie made pulled beef wraps with a bit of salad and nachos so pretty much as high fat low nutrition as you can get, oh well there’s always tomorrow!
I’m so rock and roll my favourite evening entertainment is now watering the garden, I love the smell and find it very therapeutic, I did let my children do it for a couple of nights when I was feeling a bit rubbish but never again, they missed half and so a couple of my veggie plants were cremated by the relentless sunshine we’ve been treated to. This evening my little darlings found it funny to keep turning the bloody hose pipe off mid watering…….very small things annoy the shite out of me now, actually thinking about it that’s not a lockdown thing I’ve always been easily annoyed!
Tv has been a bit poo, other than my beloved Grayson nothing is really holding my attention I’ve started watching the soaps again which really aren’t good for my mental health under normal circumstances so now they drag you down even further but still I sit there like a goldfish watching the depressing storylines unfold but I guess it’s like chewing gum for the mind! I have started on I know this much is true on sky it’s definitely not cheery and at times hard going but Mark Ruffalo is amazing and pretty easy on the eyes. Thank heavens for my children’s Disney movies they are more what is needed.
Ten pm I’ve given up and gone to bed praying for a better nights rest!
Life but not as we know it
