Yesterday was so busy. There was terrible condensation on the windows, and the water on the sills had to be mopped up. A friend of Phyllis arrived at 10am.I went out soon after and did not return for three hours.
They were out when I returned home, and at 2.30 Phyllis was supposed to be ready for a driving lesson but he was nowhere to be seen. We went out a little bit later with Kosov and their friend Sarah in the back seat, remaining silent as I told them, via the big blue shed for some stationary for them. I had a headache after returning, and my leg was aching from riding the invisible brake. My droning on to Phillip with driving advice had sent Kosov and Sarah to sleep.
I had forgotten Ex Sis in Law was parking here while she and a relative went into town to dine and see a show. She called 20 minutes before their arrival, and I let them into the carpark and then let them into the building.
I made them tea and surprisingly, my already opened Aldi ginger biscuits weren't stale. Go chemicals. They went off to do their thing and Phyllis and Kosov went out to buy bento boxes for their meal, which is rare and also rare, they ate the same time I did, they having picked up a hamburger I had ordered on their way back.
The theatre goers returned home and we chatted for a bit and off they went. It was 11.30 by then, later than I normally stay up but I feel fine this morning.
This is a bit of a nothing post, but I'll publish it as it will quickly go stale.
There are so many adjectives that could be used to add to #47's name and not one of them is good. Contrast him to a truly great leader, a statesmen, a fine speaker, a man of grace, kindness, honesty and decency.

You have been busy then. Haven't had condensation for years and years, Andrew.
ReplyDeleteIt was very cold Margaret, around 3 degrees for the couple of mornings. There were clothes drying on a rack, which I guess added to the humidity. This morning it was around 3 and I turned on the exhaust fan that extracts from my bathroom, the main bathroom and the toilet, so sucking in fresh air from wherever and it wasn't so bad.
DeleteI know this is going to sound trivial, but that photo of Pres. Barack Obama looks handsome, trustworthy and pleasant to be with. The current Pres. looks ugly, deadly and unpleasant to be near.
ReplyDeleteHels, pleasant to be with sounds like a euphemism, one I quite like.
Delete#47 appalls me. I read a poem written by someone who shares his birthday with the orange felon and my heart went out to him.
ReplyDeleteGosh EC, who would want to share a birthday with him, or own a Tesla for that matter.
DeleteI am pleased to hear that your biscuits had not gone stale. Nothing worse than soggy ginger nuts.
ReplyDeleteYou made my head sag and my mouth grin.
DeleteEven if it felt like a “nothing” day, your post captures the vivid texture of real life: hectic, unpredictable, a bit absurd, and strangely comforting in its ordinariness
ReplyDeleteRoentare, my life seems interesting I suppose, and I can't deny I think it is.
DeleteSounds like a long and busy day. Thanks for the political post.
ReplyDeleteI should have added, Inspired by TP.
DeleteMy President.
ReplyDeleteThe two terms in office is both a blessing and a disappointment.
DeleteI'm with you on Obama. If only we had him back! Or someone like him.
ReplyDeleteThe word urbane was invented for him, Steve.
DeleteThis post wasn't stale at all.
ReplyDeleteIf I left though Kirk, it would have become.
DeleteTaking my son out for driving practice is one of the most worrying thinks I've ever done. Daughter an others in the distant past were fine, but I had no confidence in my son. Amazingly, he passed first time.
ReplyDeleteInteresting, Tasker. Does it say something about boys being overconfident about their driving skills?
DeleteIt sounds like a pleasant day, all round.
ReplyDeleteIt was fine JB. Just rather busy.
DeleteI'm glad you're keeping busy. :D Be well, my dear.
ReplyDeleteThank you Darla. Such thoughts are returned.
DeleteLooks as if you had a nice time ! I finally managed to publish my new blog. It took time to create it ! The old one was from 2006 and everything was so simple ! Now you nearly have to study how to create a blog ! I hope it works. I called it "Nonna's castle" Nonna means grandma in Italian. I had my two men for a visit last week, Toby is nearly as tall as his Dad, with 14 he measures 1.99 m ! I felt like a dwarf. People are looking at us when the little mum walks her tall boys !
ReplyDeleteIngrid, nothing to do with being twenty years older? I used to really struggle with header photos, which is why I don't change the photo. Maybe because he is slimmer, that makes Toby look taller.
DeleteI can appreciate that fine man 365 days of the year! The orange one doesn't deserve the title, neither "man" nor "president"
ReplyDeleteYou think correctly River.
DeleteIt is good to be reminded there have been men worthy of the title president. You never know there might even be a woman with that title one day.
ReplyDeleteFun60, as long as she is from the correct side of politics....it came so close.
