bar stewards
there was no postage here yesterday. there was never going to be in all honesty, but the daY I HAD planned out was, in actuality completely different to the day that happened.
i got up later than i had planned to, which was fair enough, however had apparently managed to sleep through the landlady arriving and banging on doors to get the message that the refurbishment type situation thing was about to kick off, so that was fair enough. by lunchtime we had no furniture left.so once again my life is in boxes, just this time not going anywhere. at 2.30 the decorator arrived. because we didnt know what his plans were we had moved all the contents of the rooms to the middle to allow for painting. in the meantime, Hendryx, who had gone to town had rung with the news that Thomas would be returning with him. Another person for tea, thats fine, but it meant i needed to go find more meat for my intended dish of the day. As it happened the decorator started on Rosie's room, so i was free to move my stuff back from the middle thus making at least one room in the house (still having my bed for now) usable in a social kind of way. The men who have been doing the clearing out/general stuff were amazingly thoughtful, and put up the swivel chairs we were getting so we had some seats, which was good. Anyhow, shortly after the decorator arrived i took Thomas down to Cool Extreme on Infirmary Road as he wanted to look around, and then we wandered onto Safeways where i ended up buying pudding cause i was too tired to cook both main meal and dessert after moving all my stuff around, and bought some more meat, a bottle of wine as well as some yop, and chocolate buttons (which have since disappeared) and bussed it back up. Got back around 4.15ish which meant that i had to get a move on with tea as people were arriving at 6.30pm, and there was lots to do. A message from Stephen arrived to say that Mike wouldnt be coming meant that my worry that there might not be enough food for the 7 of us were subdued as there would only be 6 of us...
Anyhow, made 2 hotpots - both the same, and this being the second time ive made it i think it was better than last time.
At 6.30 promptly Stephen and
Richard arrived to make our party complete. most people opted for alabama fudge cake and ice cream for pudding. i however, didnt, not especially liking chocolate so had rhubarb crumble instead, courtesy of Morrisons/Safeways, which wasnt as nice as mine but i cant complain as i couldnt be arsed.
the lack of furniture wasn't a problem, and "interesting" conversation was never far away.... so all in all a vaguely successful evening i felt. then everyone disappeared for a bit, as Rosie went to Jacks, and Hendryx went too,Stephen and Richard went home, i mosied around the house and Thomas played Unreal Tournament.
This morning was an early start for me... up at 8, as the people were returning then, and the Bt man was coming to fit the phone line but thats now happening on saturday grrr.....
didnt want to be stuck in the house so left with Hendryx and Thomas, and i went to meadowhell of all places. Really dont know why- must have felt the need for self torture or something..... just wandered around there for a little while, grabbed a sandwich as eating at some point during the day woudl have been prudent and then trammed it back to here, where it had proceeded to pee it down so figured id come in and wait for it to stop. ill probably head home in a bit and go to bed or something.
have to be relatively sharp tomorrow.... work have finally sorted out an interview. am not looking forwards to it to be honest. supposed to be getting paid today as well.... july is going to be a barren month me feels. havent been called into work once yet this month. ack.
how was that for an uninteresting boring post?
