Nine to Five

9am

What am I wearing?
Maroon patterned swimsuit given to me by a friend. It holds up by itself - no straps!! Oooh!
What am I doing?
Swimming
Where am I?
At the gym
What's the sky like?
Very blue with the sun shimmering on the water
What's motivating me?
An aim of doing each length a different way - swim stroke, walking forwards and backwards, swishing the water different ways (the sun makes the bubbles sparkle), trying to run in the water.

2pm

What am I wearing?
Jeans, black, thin jumper, flip flops
What am I doing?
Drinking what is supposed to be a real ale  - Steeplejack*, giving up on that one because it tasted .... no it didn't taste at all, and trying I.P.A., which was as awful as the first drink. Both drinks tasted as though they were watered down.
Where am I?
A pub which we will never go in again.
What's the sky like?
Still very blue, a few clouds and quite warm.
What's motivating me?
It was the prospect of walking down to the pub with DH, having a couple of beers and then walking home again. It was just the latter after we'd tasted the beer!

5pm

What am I wearing?
Slob about long black dress
What am I doing?
Eating tea
Where am I?
In the back room
What's the sky like?
It's clouded over some more and it is beginning to feel chilly.
What's motivating me?
Demolishing my lasagne - make from the slosh of yesterday's chicken casserole (minus chicken which DH had with his yesterday's casserole), a few added veg, cheese sauce and home-made - yes home-made lasagne. (Dreamer - are you proud of me? Ooh and yesterday I had ribbon pasta with my chicken cass!)


* I don't know which brewery it was from  - I've found a couple that make Steeplejack. It was probably the last in the barrel as the publican took the beer off and started to wash the beer lines after we'd bought our drinks. I've had I.P.A. before and it was certainly better than the one we had today.

PS I've had one more person wanting to join in the Tea Party. Yeah!


Only under a couple of weeks to go.

  1. How many now? Can't wait, but I hope my contributions are not too pathetic. I haven't got a clue what I am going to do, but I will think of,something! I'm afraid it will be only me, but I don't mind. I love tea! Looking forward to it! xxoo. JO

  2. Your lasagne looks fab, pasta for us tonight, but it will be out of a packet.

  3. Crikey! You make your own pasta! Now I'm afraid for my tea party offerings.
