Me: “If the bus is scheduled to leave at 12:57 then it ought to leave at 12:57, NOT at 12:55..” K: “We should have left 2 minutes earlier, then we’d’ve caught it.” Me: “No, we were there at 12:56, that’s early. The bus should leave when it’s supposed to!” K: “But you can’t rely on […]
“ Greater love hath no man than this, that a man getteth out of bed at 3am and refilleth the hot water bottle for his girlfriend “ – Slightly adjusted from John 15:13 King James Version (KJV) 😉
..or train, depending on preference. I am back on the train to work after nearly two weeks sick leave. I’m not sure how much better I am than before, but anyway. Here I am. Not much has changed. Getting up early is still awful. The train is marginally less full – I have a seat […]
DB put his* latest bank statement down, looked at me with his big puppy-dog eyes, sighed and said: I still love you, you know, even if I am broke .. Well that’s a relief.. 🙂 [Edit: *as opposed to ‘our’ or ‘my’. This is brokeness I’m not responsible for…]
  Added later: DB told me to remind anyone thinking of making/having their own barrel pond, that they have to get the frogs out of it in autumn before it freezes and take them to the closest lake. Thank you for being kind to the wildlife near you. Â
You know, the sort that people arrange on their beds in pictures of fancy bedrooms. Can somebody tell me what they’re for? Please. And what they do with them when they want to sleep.
I went back to the doctor (a week after being prescribed iron tablets) because I had no energy – less than before – severe constipation and was falling asleep at work. A quick urine test later and I was written off work for a week, prescribed antibiotics and told to see a kidney specialist for […]
I don’t eat a lot of salt. Approximately 15 years ago, my dad was diagnosed with high blood pressure and told he should cut down his salt intake. My family had always made a point of cooking one meal and eating it together, so it was something like a group sentence: we no longer used […]
I saw this in a vending machine yesterday and thought it had potential, even though I didn’t want to buy the one, rather specialised book they were offering (“The destruction of the town library in Leipzig in 2003”).
🙂 thanks peeps! 🙂
I spend quite a lot of time falling into holes. Sometimes I dig them myself. Sometimes other people dig them. And sometimes I’m pushed.
(or on doctors and DBs – part 1) No. Chew chew chew. You chew definitely don’t chew chew have an appointment. Chew chew chew chew chew. We stared at the chewing-gum-man in disbelief. Turning slightly, we looked at each other, looked back at the man and shrugged before making our way to the car and […]
This is a common sight where I work: Why?! How hard is changing a loo roll??
Yesterday evening I decided to do a couple of loads of washing, and get some more of my paperwork sorted out. I loaded the machine and took an armfull of folders and loose papers downstairs. The DB was watching TV. I’d only just settled down and started spreading papers across the sofa when the lights […]
