read all about it

Had a bacon sarnie for breakfast and am now sat in the snug with a cuppa. Figured, with it being a Sunday, I’d sit and read the paper just like we used to do in the good old days. The paper is on my laptop but the principle is still the same.

The only problem is there is bugger all of interest. Didn’t take long to read the sporting news. Not particularly positive coverage of the British and Irish Lions nor the cricket. At least the Imps got the season off to a good start with a two nil win at home against Reading. Far too early to start the football season though.

So this morning I think I’ll ease into some more jobs. Firstly I’m going to dismantle the compost bin I started yesterday. Turns out you aren’t supposed to use blue pallets as the paint is not good for the compost, apaz. Will be easy enough to find more pallets. The blue one can go in the skip. Also going to have another look around in the attic to see what else we might be able to discard.

At some stage I need to stuff the chicken. I do a good stuffing. A skill learnt from me dear old mammaa. Bought a white sliced loaf on Friday especially. It was reduced to 85 pence and I had a 50 pence off voucher so it only cost 35 pee. Barg, especially as it didn’t matter how fresh it was, going as it is into the cavity of a chicken. There is no rush for any of this although a few drops of rain are forecast for this morning so it might do to get the compost bin sorted before then.

Too late. It’s started to rain. I heard it before I saw it as the conservatory roof began making pitter patter raindrop sounds. Quite relaxing. It is the sabbath so I shouldn’t come down too hard on meself if I don’t get some jobs done. Manãna Tref, manãna. The forecast is nice for this afternoon anyway. 

We in the UK seem to spend an inordinate amount of time talking about the weather. Makes you wonder what they have to talk about in places where it is always sunny. “Apparently it is going to be sunny this afternoon,” or “I wonder what the weather is going to be like today? Can I hang the washing out?”. V boring I’m sure 🙂 

Ciao amigos.
