Two More Sleeps
It's a known fact that holidays take an age to arrive then are over before you know it. That said, it seems that Sunday cannot come quickly enough.
I'm clearing things off my desk (bin) and leaving some semblance of having done all my work prior to going on holiday, when in actual fact I'm just prioritising the stuff that I think MUST be done and isn't what everyone else thinks MUST be done. Idiots. I am master of prioritisation. I am not master of keeping my desk tidy though.
Anyway what news to impart? I went to Hertfordshire on Tuesday. Behaved like I'd never stepped foot outside the M25 and even at one stage pointed and said loudly "there's a squirrel". It was, in fact, a rabbit. Several of them. That clanger aside, I had a lovely time which included having a rather wonderful curry that came with minature chips. Now I don't like chips. Yes I know, revoke my residency, send me back to the colonies, but the simple fact is that the chip is not my potato product of choice. That said I don't mind french fries and love the mash but that's pretty much it. Anyway we ordered a couple of dishes and one came with these matchstick sized perfectly formed chips. They were ACES! I suspect making the little bastards will take more than my desire to have them again is worth. Other refreshments included alot of red wine. So much so I had a hangover the next day. Hold the presses, yes a hangover.
The downside of the hangover was that I didn't do anything constructive on Wednesday night, ie, tidy the flat in preparation for my visitors tonight. So if I can just say in advance to my guests, I would have mopped the kitchen floor and hoovered properly if I wasn't lying on the sofa trying to reclaim some sleep. Mind you I did find time to pop round to the George for a pint with Rick & James.
As I said, priorities.
