This me I be

Last weekend we were packing. Packing. Packing. This weekend we were moving. Moving. Moving. The unfortunate thing is, though, the house we were going to move into fell through a World War 2 bunker, which lay hidden from the ground survey the builders didn’t do properly. So we’re homeless! Woop fucking woop! But the silver […]

By Wednesday of last week, it was clear that the week didn’t want to be acknowledged. It was one of those weeks that got me under my skin. If I could forget something, I forgot it. Monday was summed up by the human shit I had to clear up in the car park. Not one […]

A 915 haircut appointment on Saturday got me up and out by 830, which for my lie-in day, sucks. But I look pretty — I’d look prettier without the bags, but one must have a flaw. I popped to Primark with Jackie, but it was a fruitless endeavour because they didn’t have a rain coat […]

The problem with writing a weekend post on a Wednesday is that I don’t remember what happened. I struggle to remember what happened come the Monday. To steal one of Myles’ favourite phrases, “I don’t remember”. With that said, it turns out that I do. Saturday saw us rescuing the kid because he was boooooooooooooooooored […]

I went to bed 20 minutes earlier than normal on Thursday night, which of course meant I woke up an hour earlier on Friday. With all this extra time, I got the washing in the machine and the dishes done. My efforts basically meant that the weekend started at 17:30 promptly. Saturday was an early […]

The kid descended on Saturday and left us Sunday tussled and bedraggled, such a whirlwind he is… To somewhat calm ourselves, I tried my hand at this sausage tomato mascarpone pasta recipe. While it came out well / good / delicious — the tomato mascarpone sauce was better than store bought — the both of […]

A state of war now exists between myself and Myles. The kid has taken to trumping on me, guerrilla style. While I didn’t retaliate at the time for fear of having a poo on his head, which would need to be rubbed into his hair and then dried with a hair-dryer, next weekend I’ll have […]

Gone are the days of doing other people’s grocery shopping. And here are the days of overseeing cremations. To celebrate and prepare, the weekend was full of doing things. I treated myself to a haircut. ‘Treat’ lol — after however many months, it was a legal requirement. I tried to treat myself to a new […]

Tired of socially distancing in Portsmouth, I went to do it in Wales. The end

Sure, my mood frayed, but it always frays — I’m not very good at sewing. I can do that patch thing with the iron, but even that only lasts an hour or two. But I digress… With the kid off school and Shaun off work, the week was as it should be in our shared […]

This year, British Summer Time starting didn’t start the usual Friday night before it officially starts so I can get used to it, but started 7 minutes after it started, with me confused as hell. The problem I noticed this year, what with starting work at 2am on the day British Summer Time starts, my […]

The delay is in two parts, mostly because I’ve been hanging. More importantly, though — Shaun and I cracked out the cards and got to doing what is us. Mostly, skittle vodka and shithead. It’s important to do these sorts of things, to remember our roots, because life does sure like to try and topple […]

FREEDOM!!! Oh, it’s been bliss.  It’s been the most beautiful weekend ever.  I enjoyed Saturday — finally got the book mountain on a bookcase! I enjoyed Sunday — the day to myself was like the good old days when I used to potter around solo… Of the difficulties this weekend, no Myles = the biggest. […]
