1. Weather was nice on Saturday - caught up on some housework, and even managed to clean the kitchen floor! Did some ironing in the garden - it’s not nearly so bad when I do it out there.
2. LELI was away on a conference with his whole team plus loads of other very big knobs from work. He had to do a presentation on Friday. Apparently, the 20 minutes he stood up to give the presentation was the only 20 minutes of the day he wasn’t vomitting his guts up between the hours of 8 am and 4 pm. I have no sympathy - wine and whisky, I ask ya?
3. Went for a drink last night with LELI, where he is once again moaning about being fed up. Thing is, he’s not sure what he’s fed up about, so not sure what to do to put it right. His latest scheme is to give up work and sell ice-cream on a beach somewhere hot. Or give swimming lessons. He is off on holiday in a few weeks on a boat. I think that will be his next ‘dream’ - to take tourists out on his own boat.
4. Told the blokey at work who might have the job for me that if I didn’t get one soon, I was going to apply for one ‘oop norf, since one had become available and that I stood a good chance of getting it. He said he still hasn’t confirmation of the level of the job, but that last week at the conference he had been talking to several peopl about me, and every reaction he had had been good. He then went on to say he couldn’t promise me anything, but that I stood a good chance.
5. The lads LELI work with bought him a Welsh football top for his birthday, months ago. He did wear it once to work on dress down day, but I haven’t seen him wear it since - he usually wears tops with collars. Last night, when I picked him up, he was wearing this football top. Hmmm. Let’s just say it was snug. He has mentioned before about how he used to be into gym, and pumping iron. I also know he is fairly fit, and he does exercise regularly. But Phwoar!!! This well fitting top was showing off all his muscles last night. Has made me look at him in quite a different light! (Not made any better, by his casual mention of his speedo wearing adventures in the swimming pool and sauna at the hotel they had been staying in). I came over all unnecessary!
6. I am excited about my coming holiday. Booked the cats into their holiday home today - bloody hell, it’s costing nearly as much as me! Still, can’t leave them in the house all day every day while I am away, not in this heat (laughs hysterically). Well, in possible heat, should the summer ever come back.
7. Watched my first World Cup football game yesterday, when I saw England win. Can’t say I was too inspired - watching it on your own is just no fun.
8. Bugger. England are playing Portugal on Saturday, when I am going on holiday….. to Portugal! Due to land at 5.15, which I think is after the match has finished. But I am sure there will be plenty of pissed football fans around.
