Fri Yay

Where has the sunshine gone?? I woke to the sound of rain I should be pleased as the garden needs it but I’m going to have to hunt out a jumper and thermals and a coat…….ok I might be a wimp. After breakfast I headed to work to tackle another stack of orders and make a 3ft birthday cake for a young man who’s funeral order I made in February, wow it was a whole other world in February, there was five of us crammed in the shop working on flowers all laughing and joking not this boring Billy no mates business!

Work got a bit barmy with orders again so when I called Gary and he said he had taken to his armchair for the day I decided to enlist his help delivering (what was I thinking) the first lot he went out and did by himself that was fairly successful the second lot I went with him, how the hell is he a “professional driver” he couldn’t drive a greasy stick up a dogs arse (never understood where that saying comes from and glad I don’t know who said it first or what their hobbies were) anyway despite him being unable to follow basic instructions and driving like a total dick he did get out and take the flowers to the doors to save my dodgy back so for that I was thankful but my gratitude was short lived, I hadn’t eaten since 6am and by 6pm I was starting to feel really poo but Gary refused point blank to stop, I asked at every shop, garage and open takeaway we passed but he laughed as he passed them all taking me back to the shop “as I needed to crack on” it wasn’t until I started to shake, sweat and slur my words he stopped finding it funny and went out to get me something to get my blood sugar up before I flaked out. Feeling better I did as I was told and “cracked on” it took me until 10pm to finish by then I was too knackered to think about cooking myself food so stopped for takeaway number two of the week.

Well my first trip to a kebab shop was one I don’t fancy repeating in a hurry, it was crowded outside with teenagers whose parents had obviously been paddling in a very shallow gene pool, I doubt they could spell social distancing let alone get to grips with the rules, clearly not knowing the difference between 2m and 2cm they were arsing around pushing each other, sharing a cigarette and laughing in each other’s faces, dying of Covid would simply be natural selection but what an insult to those that have followed the rules and people risking their lives to help save others, their parents should be ashamed. I gave them a wide birth and went to take a step inside when a floppy haired twat pushed past and started asking deliberately stupid questions and laughing while his mates cheered him on, he kept looking at me then coming out with more crap, knowing full well that I couldn’t go in because inside there was already a teenage girl who looked like she’d been subject to some form of clinical testing, her body was at the hazard tape barrier in front of the counter but her over inflated lips were definitely breaching the distancing rules and only two people were allowed in at one time, too tired to be messed about I turned around and started to walk away at which point the kebabies ordered him out, the little shit shouted “oh sorry luv did you want to go in hahaha” clearly not aware I’m not to be messed with when hungry and tired I told him exactly what I thought of him and his sad sack friends and told him his future if he didn’t f#%k off out of my way. So I finally got my food, sanitised myself into a crispy husk of my former self and drove home stuffing chicken and lettuce in my face so I could crawl straight into bed when I got back.

I forgot to add in that when I got to work my landlords wife finally plucked up the courage to tell me they have sold the place subject to completion which has been delayed until next week, she seems to think the new owner is happy for me to stay there but obviously she can only go on what he’s said so I’m still none the wiser as to what the future will hold but luckily I’ve been a lot more settled in my head today so don’t feel worried at worst I will have to find another shop but I don’t think that will be too hard given a lot of businesses won’t survive due to the trading restrictions during lockdown and even when they are lifted life won’t return to normal anytime soon for some maybe never???

Hmm my food diary is now starting to read like a horror story! breakfast was a rather good bacon sandwich, lunch (if you can call 17:30 lunch) was a garage Ginsters cheese and onion pasty with a packet of space raiders, dinner as you know was a chicken shish kebab with lettuce served in some sort of soggy slipper, needless to say I was so thirsty I’d have drunk from the toilet bowl if I’d run out of water.

Due to my crappy diet I had an an equally crappy nights sleep waking countless times with my lips stuck to my teeth with dehydration and I had several glasses of Andrews as my stomach kept complaining what an arsehole I was………I promise I will do better tomorrow.
