Edit:
It’s monday and we still have leftovers.
Tag: slice of life
BBQ preparation, done!
Sangria infusing, meat marinating, veggies prepped. Just need to prep some burgers and then we’re ready for company.
Great ending to the week
I let my proverbial hair completely down for the first time in a while last night. I was doubly celebrating the successful end of a 6 month work project, and the official announcement of my transfer to the new digital nutrition research group at work.
Radovan bodged together a hacker charbonnade grill and I marinated some porc loin and skirt steak. The post-mortem this morning included 2kg of meat, 2 packs of sausages, charcuterie, grilled melons and pineapple, 3 bottles of wine, 2 bottles of prosecco (and unfortunately, a bit of a technicolour incident around 2am).
I needed this!
Can hardly contain my enthusiasm
What have I done so far on my birthday? I woke up late, which is always good. Then I went hog crazy and did a couple of loads of laundry, folded said laundry, vacuumed and mopped the floors, and watered the plants.
I am now chilling on the sofa with a glass of coke, a cat and a book. I could do worse. Missing my family though.
Missing my family
They drive me nuts at times, but right now I’m missing them.
Something I need to realize more often
You shall not pass
I had a really good session with Laurence this morning. She made me realize something that’s been gnawing at me for months.
Got a trifecta of lies last night
Too much “Storage wars”, too many pages, too many 5 minutes… going to be a fun day.
Katy and I went on a date
For only the second time in this trip, Katy and I were able to go on a proper date. Bobble chaperoned. We went to Coast to Coast for burgers and drinks.
Bad move. I don’t think we’ll be going there again. The service was sloooow. Kind, but glacially slow. The food was also very average. All in all, it was disappointing and left me feeling a bit queasy. A pootle around Leicester town and a good poo sorted me out, and then we were good to go see Ghostbusters. Really. Good. Movie!
They managed to surprise me
Mel, grab a pack with two green ones.
They don’t have any. Two blue, but not two green.
You mean to tell me that your sponges are color coded?!?
Of course.
*silence*
What about these ones, they have two green ones in the pack.
They’re the wrong type.
*confusion*
Later…
So what do you guys do when you come to ours and have no sponges? Bring your own?
Don’t give mother any ideas. The suitcases are heavy enough as it is.
