Bank Holiday Selection Box

I had today as a bonus day off, as I’d worked both Saturday and Sunday of the bank holiday weekend. Yet another perk of management. Philippa, bless her, had to go back to work, so it was a lay-in for me followed by a day of happy pottering. Below are some little things I wrote down at different points during the day:

Football is like dust -
it’s always on the telly
and I don’t like it

I popped to our local shop for some milk. Because I get a reduction on all goods bought at the supermarket I haven’t been in there for ages but I’d run out of milk and fancied a coffee, so off I went. The guy who sorts the papers was on fine form. Bemoaning the fact that he had to work all weekend, he ranted “Bank holiday? Bank holiday? EVERY day is a ****ing holiday for the banks. They’re off on ****ing holiday with all the money they stole from us taxpayers.” As they say in the movies - classic frontier gibberish.

I had some Cornish Wafers left in the cupboard and decided to do a little taste test. I covered each of them in a different topping, and had to write a review of the experience using just three words for each one. Here they are:
SLICED MEDIUM CHEDDAR - crunchy and cheesy
MARMITE - a bit dull
PEANUT BUTTER - TASTE OF HEAVEN!!

I accidentally called Ted ‘Teddy’ today. He said if I ever called him that again, he would suddenly remember all the stuff he was taught in the Army, and show me how they used to deal with opponents in the trenches.
I’m not sure he ever actually fought in the trenches, but I certainly got the message.

Note to self - next time I buy a vehicle, I need to check how long the tax disc has to run..
