An April Assortment

My blog postings might be looking slightly different at the moment as the company that runs this blogsite have insisted on changing things again and I can’t get the hang of the new settings. I can’t say much more at the moment in case they’re monitoring this - they might send some cyber-heavies round to delete me…


We have a date for our move. David and Becky are flying out to Hong Kong on Friday May 18th, so we’ll be moving in on the Saturday and Sunday. Philippa and I have both booked that weekend off and we’ve hired a small van, although exactly what we need to take into a fully-furnished house is beyond me.
I’m not sure how I feel about it all really, but Hannah has been dancing round the kitchen like a three-year-old since I told her, so I guess she’s looking forward to having the place to herself and her friends. I’m already looking forward to moving back in next year and ruining it all for her..


I’m getting a bit bored with Ted’s attitude towards me. He’s been giving me the cold shoulder so long that it’s frozen solid. I might send him some flowers to try and break the ice. Or maybe I’ll just leave him stewing in his own pool of grumpiness. I haven’t actually done anything wrong, after all.


I have more evidence that God hates me. I’ve fallen in love with our supermarket’s cheap own-brand of crisps. They do 12 bags in a multipack for under a quid, so with my discount card they’re only 80p, and if I drop them accidentally and damage the bag I can normally get them out for free. The trouble is, my favourites are the Cheese and Onion, but whichever end of the multipack bag I decide to open, God has deemed it so that the C&O bags are at the other end of the bag, so I either have to fish around inside for ages until I find what I want, or eat a different flavour. Philippa says I’m an idiot and I should just tip them all out and pick up what I want, but she doesn’t understand that there is an etiquette involved with consumption of a savoury snack multipack. She also fails to realise that this is a battle between me and the Almighty, and I have to win.
