the secret of happiness and virtue-liking
Apr. 19th, 2011 02:54 pmMatt! Splutter! (I'd put your wellies on if I were you, lest you slip in the drool).

get yer trousers on
Dec. 17th, 2008 04:23 pmYep, the Sweeney is back on TV, and not before time, but way too long between drinks for me - I've lost my Sweeney ear. I spent the first half of the episode whining "Hold up, George" and "SBS Euro cop subtitling unit: we need you", but alas, no SBS subtitles to the rescue, so I've still only the rough gist of the chappies in the very, um, impressive ski masks (wot, had the IRA bought up all the butch black ones?) robbing toffs with shooters and our lads grumbling and swearing and in and out of sweaty pubs and the like. A couple more weeks and I'll be like Manny after he over indulged in the Sweeney - grin.
So, of course, last night, despite having every good and just intention of watching the no doubt excellent Brit telly the ABC was serving up, well, it just wasn't going to happen, not when there was Tufty in the offing. So yeah, I watched Life on Mars. And loved every damn minute of it.

just a wild stab in the dark
Nov. 22nd, 2007 05:18 pmAnkle is rooted, spider bite is driving me nuts (sadly no spidey powers, just lots of ouch) and the usual post ironing migraine (is there no such thing as a non allergenic washing powder?) but other than that, feeling fine, because last night I was delighted and entertained by pretty, pretty Brit boys, bless 'em, one and all.

too many doctors
Nov. 16th, 2007 04:57 pmYesterday I was up to my eyeballs in crap. For seriously this time, as in blocked drains, plumbers, minor volcanic eruptions of well..crap. It was a whole thing and let's just a combination of old crumbly pipes, previous cowboy plumbers and thirsty trees, not to mention Himself who insists on using one bog roll per sitting, and thus it's a fairly regular and expensive not to mention flithy operation. Sooo much fun (also, had to uproot beloved pink daisies - no wonder they were sooo happy despite the drought).

treat the tin dog right
Nov. 14th, 2007 04:20 pmYou know it's a Monday when the bus driver turns around and asks us where we're meant to be going, exactly. [head in hands].
Actual bus driver or some mental patient just taking the bus out for a spin? To be honest, I'd never be able to tell.
My weekend wasn't much of an improvement on that. It wasn't like I didn't know better: don't drive, don't operate heavy machinery, don't go anywhere near a computer and don't attempt any housework, like, say, the washing.

such is life
Nov. 9th, 2007 03:20 pmLast night I dreamt we were overrun with Nimons, though they weren't half as much trouble as those people down the street, but everyone was asking me how to get rid of them and I had no idea because I'd given up watching Who at that stage. Even in my dreams I'm complete rubbish and useless.
Anyhoo, I supposed you heard my shrill shriek on Sunday. Yes, it was a girlie scream. Having to go out and finish the watering at dusk (and dusk lasts 30 seconds here so it was night by the time I got out the door), I figured how big could the spiders be? Oh, that big. And fie on you know who not coming to my rescue, pinned down as I was by the giant spider. The giant angry spider (trying to hose/shoo him off the wall just made him fiesty). Wibble.

the joy of seventies coppers
Oct. 26th, 2007 04:40 pmMonday: Um, no scans this week. I had other stuff to do and it was hot. Plus I'm knackered. Running around like a blue arsed fly. Made myself sick on Sunday, but that's what I get for weeding in 38C heat after having yoghurt and berries for lunch.
Today I am weilding the holepunch. You know, I wasted my twenties going to uni at night just so I'd never have to spend all day holepunching again, but sans proper job, it's my "special project" of the week. They didn't even sugar coat it with "as you've got records management experience..." Nope, it was just "holepunch, bitch". So I holepunch (therefore I am?).

the life of brian
Sep. 17th, 2007 03:10 pmJust had to go and get myself a nice hot cup of tea. Hard to know where to start. I thought I'd got through most things on the weekend, but I forgot to plant those azaleas I found while weeding (yes, the weeds had got out of control, but it's been hell since I got home from my trip, really), but then I was distracted by my brother falling down the enormous hole while taking the clothes off the line.
