This week has gone insanely fast. I've done loads, but not that much worth writing home about. So you'll have to excuse how completely mundane this is.
On Saturday, We went out for lunch! I actually have really missed hanging out with my school friends. We don't do it often enough.
This has to be a 2017 resolution. Although, I doubt we'll be welcomed back to the Barley Mow any time soon after the boys' writing and drunk rendition of "Fritzel the musical". They lack taste. and moral direction.
Maybe we'll just leave them at home next time!
That side, the musical was shaping up to actually be pretty good.. if very tasteless.
On Sunday we did chores. this seems to be a side effect of being adults now. Sunday is the day when we change the bed and towels and hoover. such edgy and interesting lifestyles, no?
On Monday, I met up with Tracey, just hung out and caught up on news. Her cat Albie is a food stealer, we made fancy salad and had lidls pasta for lunch and spent the whole time fending the cat off.
It was a work out in itself!
On Tuesday, I met up with SJ. We were supposed to go for waffles as theres a brand new waffle house that has opened only a road away from my house! Waffles!
I saw it when I was driving to work last week and was so distracted that I did almost crash.
We were excited, then we got there and realised that they only open in the evening (Who wants waffles in the evening?!!) and they don't open on a Tuesday. Fail on both counts.
We ended up eating a pancake stack at Ed's easy diner and drinking 3 coffee each as it's free refills.
Honestly, I do not learn.
I cannot drink 3 cups of coffee. One is a bit of a stretch. Honestly, I almost died!
On Wednesday I walked 10 miles. 10. I genuinely thought my legs were going to fall off! I walked over to Tracey's to feed Albie, which was quite a bit further than I'd previously realised- because I always get really lost using the cycle paths and just end up stumbling around woodland in the dark, so I didn't appreciate that even when you get it right, it's still pretty far.
Then in my infinite wisdom I decided to walk from her house to Town to met Ray and my Mum work lunch. That took a whole hour. It was the most well deserved panini I've ever eaten.
In the evening they came over and we did nails and had fancy lidls pasts for tea. I know it sounds like a weird thing to be excited about but it was so good just to have time to spend time together and actually talk.
We live our lives like ships in the night!
On Thursday, I had another moment of idiocy. I had an appointment in old town, so I decided to cycle there then cycle straight to Traceys. 8 miles later and muddy up to the thighs I did have some regrets about my decisions. I ended up drying my trousers on my bike on the waiting room at the Osteopaths!
I had to buy new trousers!
It was a disaster!
On Friday, Ru Paul's drag race day! and paperwork, but that is boring and not very festive so we won't talk about that.
Albie was extremely cute too!
I was like Cruella de Ville with her on my head as a hat. she's so cute and fluffy but so much smaller and more easily excited than Marley.
This has definitely reinforced my love of that cantankerous twat. She shows her affection by lying on the floor somewhere near you and blinking slowly at you. So much better! It's been quite nice to be able to have a day to relax.
Well, relax sort of.
In addition to petting animals and socialising, I have also done a complete ton of housework. If you're planning to visit, come now!
It's tidy!
I've chucked out so much junk- 4 recycling boxes and they only took our boxes on Thursday! we haven't even dealt with the wrapping paper mountain yet! We need more recycling boxes! (I'm sure I wrote about the recycling box debacle, were we started with 3 but now have 7). Even more please!
I've properly cleaned the kitchen and bathroom, oiled the worktops, descaled the taps etc, sorted the linen cupboard and bought new linen, hoovered everything, which was thankless because as fast as I hoover the cat makes more hairy mess. or Traff. or both. So much fucking hair!
This is all in honour of my Nan staying for christmas.
It's very stressful. It will be lovely, and at least I've had a whole week to sort the house out.
