Decided to take the pooch on a little expedition to the post office today, she seemed to rather enjoy having a nosey around the neighbourhood. It was all going terribly well until a bus came roaring past and I ended up with L flying from my arms and up onto my shoulder where she sat cowering. I dare say I have a parrot in furry chi-chi disguise. Got approached by an 8 year old girl with her friend who exclaimed “Excuse me, can I touch your puppy please?” Yes love, the left or right? I obviously jest, that would be extremely inappropriate…

Speaking of inappropriate, my Dad had a blood test today and his conversation with the Nurse panned out like this:

Nurse: “In a moment you’ll feel a small scratch.”

Dad: “Since when did you start saying ‘small scratch’ instead of ‘small prick?’”

Nurse: “Ever since I told an old man he’d feel a ‘small prick’ and he replied with, ‘oooh, have you been peeping?’”

Jesus Christ Almighty…

I’ve had such an unproductive day today it’s unreal. I woke up with good intentions to watch breakfast news (did that), read The Independent (managed that one too), tackle the washing (check), read up on LFW (ermmm), wash the car (ah…nope), and hoover the house (say what?) So yes, on the production scale I did not do too well. Instead I made lunch, fainted in the process then had to have a couple of hours lying down resting which consisted of fielding telephone calls and waking up to texts.

I feel SO bored with life at the moment…yawn. It’s such a boring process of waking up, doing the housework, eating and then sleeping only to wake up and do it all again. I guess it’ll be much better in a couple of weeks when the puppy will be able to get out and about so we can go for nice walkies every day. Where have the glamorous days gone of retail therapy, nice lunches out, girly coffee meet ups, salon visits and heart-fluttering dates? Down the drain along with my money I suspect.

Anyway, time for a fresh start tomorrow by an early visit to the gym. I need my personal trainer to whip me into shape just in time for the special surprise birthday celebrations I have planned. I would reveal more but then it wouldn’t be a surprise would it? (I can so imagine the face of disdain right now). Good things come to those who wait, right D?
