Ever have one of those days when you have a list of things you want to do and you sit down at night and realise that you have had a good day!
Woke up and for once, on a day off, it wasn't raining! b***** cold mind you but lovely blue sky to go with it!
Took dog on a good 2 hour walk - check
Got out on the new bike for its first ever run - check
Enjoyed the new bike after being wary as to whether you would - check
Washed the car for the first time including being able to wash the roof of the car without overstretching - check
Re-routed the cable to the dashcam in the car that had been hanging down - check
Got the storage area cleared out and all the junk I had been keeping over the winter got binned.
All ironing done and up to date (brownie points) - check
Oh well, back to real work tomorrow!
Did you have a good day today?

Ironing?
Sorry, I thought you were married? Ironing indeed!
;-)

>>Ironing?
It has become a regular Monday morning chore, for me to locate and assemble the ironing board and to place the iron and the plastic water container conveniently close by.
You have to do your bit, Runfer.

I toddle off to my local car spares/accessory shop and buy the de-ionised water. I might also, err, have a mooch around inside while there, it would be rude not to. The guy who runs it likes the dog too, so she gets a walk.

Yeah, I think I read somewhere that you don't have proper fresh water "down there"?
Believe it gets recycled umpteen times or some such. Don't fancy it myself.

Beat me to that one Runfer.
I believe they buy drinking water in plastic bottles too.

Less of the "you lot" remember I have dual nationality and no DFF. :-)

Sturgeon is not stupid, she is well aware that upsetting the voters will cost her her job. That is also why you have Salmond down your end of the country.

Apart from shirts and blouses, nothing in our house gets ironed, and nobody has ever commented.
We live life on the edge, we do! :-)

Good:
- Took dog on a good 2 hour walk - check
- Got out on the new bike for its first ever run - check
- Enjoyed the new bike after being wary as to whether you would - check
Marginal:
- Re-routed the cable to the dashcam in the car that had been hanging down - check
- Got the storage area cleared out and all the junk I had been keeping over the winter got binned.
Of dubious value:
- Washed the car for the first time including being able to wash the roof of the car without overstretching - check
Beyond words:
- All ironing done and up to date (brownie points) - check
|
I genuinely don't mind ironing - if there is something good on the TV or a decent podcast to listen to , I can stand for a couple of hours ploughing my way through the shirts and easy to iron stuff!
In fact quite often I will iron when I am watching a footie match on TV, kind of gives some productivity rather than couch potatoing it.

Does he do vacuuming as well, Runfer?

I fear the worst FP.
Prob'ly knocking up some quiche for dinner as we speak...
;-)
|
|
Real men don't eat quiche...
|
Not much food I will avoid but quiche is one such. Ribs tonight, bought from the local market on Saturday, with roast veg ( onions, courgette, sliced spuds, garlic) accompanied by the finest Rioja @ 2 euros a bottle. preceded by a few XL G & Ts of course.
Good day for me also
