Just another Tuesday Pt 2

I had an excellent night's sleep and I feel much more energetic this morning. After brunch, Ex Sis in Law went off to the hospital for her test and I visited a new masseur, very near home. He was good!

Not much happened in the afternoon until I received a call from the hospital saying Ex Sis in Law was ready to be escorted home, so I caught two trams to St Vincents to collect her. Once home we sat and had a drink and watched some tv news then went across the road where the restaurant has cheap steaks on Tuesday night. Quite nice and neither of us could finish our meals. 

She left immediately after dinner to return home and meanwhile WWIII had broken out at home, with two grown up boys careening around the apartment and attempting to hide while shooting at each other with foam bullets. Yours truly was caught in the crossfire once. Phyllis had bought the guns for Kosov for his birthday and we had a little celebration Sunday night.

Ray would have been furious that I didn't iron the tableclotth.


The cake was very small as Kosov is not a cake eater. Nor does he drink coffee, tea and rarely alcohol. 



He was very appreciative of the effort that went into his birthday. I chipped in half for the guns and cake.


I suppose this will sit at the door until the balloons go flat. 


The damage to the blind was caused by me a few years ago when I fainted after standing up too quickly from the arm chair. However, the side alignment was a result of the earlier WWIII. It just needed straightening.

  1. The creases in the table cloth tell me it was folded neatly so viva la fold marks!
    A Nerf gun fight and cake sounds a lot of fun

  2. thecontemplativecat here. Nerf battles are the best, esp. when played against skilled opponents.

    1. CC, there was another battle tonight and skills are developing. The novelty will soon wear off.

  3. Who won WWIII? Do we need to know? Your home sounds so lively and fun with the additions.

    1. Strayer, I don't know who won. Phyllis shrieked a lot, so maybe Kosov. It is very lively with both of them here now. Kosov is staying rent free, so a job list will be posted next week.

    1. Merlot, that is where they are not children. I don't know what time they went to bed because I was sound asleep but they didn't rise until 11 this morning.

  5. I'm glad you have those young men to keep you company. I love shooting those guns, my grandson and I have gun battles all the time. That cake looks very good.

  9. Big smiles, and I love that you joined in the fun. Fold marks are NOT the same as wrinkles. Or so my ironing averse self thinks.

    1. Ah EC. I am not sure if I am comforted by that or not, when I view other fold marks and wrinkles.

  10. Ha Ha WW111. I love that you allowed the guns and foam bullets fun. The cake looks pretty. I'd leave the balloons there too, they add some brightness. I don't even bother with a tablecloth these days.

    1. River, I just thought I'd make an obvious effort for his birthday, and I had bought him a nice card.

  11. I wouldn't have worried too much about the unironed table cloth, but I would be seriously annoyed about the guns.

    1. Hels, I was worried about the guns. Will they mark my newly painted walls? No. The foam bullets only fire about seven metres. No damage to anything.

  12. Good of you to join in the fun. Those boys must think they have the best landlord ever.

    1. JayCee, I haven't bought tickets to the Dua Lipa performances here next year, but I never realised how diverse the musical tastes are of young people. They actually like my music, of the seventies and eighties. Thankfully they are not enamoured by hardcore rap.

  14. That was a lovely celebration and great fun. Nerf guns have been around for a long time.

    1. Alison, it is all good fun, playing out right when I am watching the tv news. I am not going to spoil their fun by telling them to be quiet.
