What Were You Doing Five Minutes Ago?

[Analogue Boy]

Life is a constant battle with laundry detergent. I switched to the pod things after about the 100th time of tipping the powder all over the floor.

Then I sometimes decide to put the pod in the machine ready for next time and load it a bit at a time, but always forget whether I've done it or not and have to drag everything out again to check. Curses.

If you eat one, you get a random superpower. This is absolutely true.

You also get a free trip to a local health facility. Bonus!

Reading an email informing me my order of the documentary Blood And Flesh: The Reel Life And Ghastly Death Of Al Adamson is due to be delivered next week. What bliss!

 

[Mythopoeika]

Hearing my dim next door neighbours arguing. They'd been pretty quiet lately, I'd almost forgotten they were there.
I feel sure it will end in divorce.

Storming the Bastille...

Putting the bins out (garbage and green waste).

Cringeing at the sight of an ex, on a photo I saw by chance online from about 35 years ago. What WAS I thinking?

I know your game. You like to say 'These bins get taken out more than I do!'

Due to Covid, the bins get taken out more than any of us!

Watching the Merlins teaching their fledgling some amazing aerobatics outside of my house. They are very noisy about it!

I was good enough for you at the time...

Empathising with Swifty's deep deep pain. Get around Swifty, you guys. I'm sure you all have him in your hearts - everyone around this website who is worth their salt knows Swift is one of the diamond geezers. We love him dearly.
We're at that age. God bless you, mate. I'll hold you in my heart now, and you'll hold me when it happens for me.

I know, I let you go. You will forever be The One Who Got Away.
(For which you will always be grateful! )

Reading the news about another country's interference with the GB's way of life- christ what has become of Great Britain?

 

[Bad Bungle]

Finally - email from Metal Detecting club - Sunday is a go and site is only 35 mins away ( well, M40 so add 10 mins) (and TomTom sat nav so add another 15 mins). Joy.

Sitting in my beer garden, supping some gin-based cocktail cobbled up by Techy, watching my solar lamps flicker on one by one, listening to the classic rock radio station...

All alone, as Techy has gone to bed.

Still out here. Watching planes go over snd identifying thrm with flightradar. Soon I'll see the comet. It's green.

Strange, GB interfered with other countries way of life for years during the days of empire...

And that's all I shall say, politics is forbidden...

Putting away the groceries. And yes, I did wear a mask while shopping...

Good choice, we wouldn't want you freaking anyone out.

Tasting the casserole with cheese dumplings made from a recipe I saw in a magazine.

Dodging a crazy driver who shot out of a side street and turned right in front of me causing me to slam on the brakes.
I guess he must value his life though as he was wearing a mask.

Your post has pretty much just summed up 2020 so far.

Is that actually you rolling the dice of danger with your own love pillows? .. and if so, why do the bees on your right seem more amicable?

Don't know how to break this to you, but I am male! Those bees are just feeling a right tit about now...
