damnit - too late for this yr!! will order one for next yr tho ;) haha
 
I had a resident one on my ceiling for a good few days, I was getting ready to ask it for share or rent & bills....
 
The garden is weeded, dead-headed and pruned. The washing is done and the recycling sorted. There is a beef stew bubbling on the stove for supper and I've cleared up the mess made in preparing it.

In my book that means it is now officially gin o'clock :D
 
Ah the joys of working in Aberdeen

All it takes is one road, or in this case bridge, to close and the city gets gridlocked. It's not usually a problem as I have enough knowledge of the area where I work that I can usually find an escape route but last night's chaos didn't half play havoc with my game of booze roulette.

I should explain what booze roulette is. It's a wee game I play on days when work has been overly stressful/shitty and I feel the need to break my no-alcohol on a school night rule. It involves me choosing the most congested route out of the city with options depending on how bad the traffic is. If the road is clear or has minimal queues then I take it as a sign to carry on home and my liver gets a rest. However if the road is a mess of brake lights and exhaust fumes as far as the eye can see then I pull into Asda and pick up a bottle before either using the housing estate as a rat run or finding another route home.

Last night the traffic was so bad I couldn't even get close to Asda never mind where the queues usually start leaving me to exclaim out loud "That wasn't a ****ing option!"

So I've added new choices to booze roulette for if I have to take the 10-mile detour home. If there's a parking space outside the co-op in one of the villages I drive through then my liver is obviously fully functioning and I stop and pick up a bottle of their rather nice chianti (Italian you'll note) but if it's busy I head straight home.









Today I would definitely benefit from some paracetamol.
 
I slept in this morning and was still the first one on site.

The perfect crime.

Suspect I've been overdoing it again though - genuinely, finished at 5pm then went on an hours door to door flyering. Got home, had dinner, fell asleep during Fifth Gear (a natural reaction, you may say)

Roll on 4pm on Friday :D
 
Carrying on the old people and sex theme, one of my older neighbours lost his wife last year and not long after started getting visits from a sprightly lady who I'd say was in her 70s. I haven't thought much of it up until now as it's not my business but I was amused this morning to open my curtains to see her scooting down the road at speed in heels and a smart skirt.

She seemed quite embarrassed to see me although it probably wasn't helped that I waved to her with a big grin on my face :laugh:
 
Well despite feeling completely knackered when I got home I appear to have woken up again. As I'm not at work tomorrow I think a few g&t's are in order
