Fuelling Amusement

Well, what a surprising response to my last blog, even more popular than that which just contained a picture of a coat hook. I hope that what I was trying to say came across in the way I was trying to say it. It's still being read by more people even now so it seems to have some appeal

The topic I would like to write about today is not really suitable for this medium and, as I've previously stated, there are elements of a persons life that are not for public broadcast...but lets just say I'm not convinced that Anne Frank would have been a belieber

I've had my new car for about 2 weeks now and I'm still very pleased with it. It's hasn't failed to deliver on the promises that the Internet said it would

Nice to drive - check
Well equipped - check
Fast - check
Comfortable - check
Aesthetically pleasing (nice to look at) - check
Subject of various gay/hairdresser jokes - check
Horrendous fuel economy - check

I do find it quite amusing that the driving of a car can lead people to comment on my sexuality and my profession......I was only saying to my boyfriend the other day.....on the way to the salon.....that people are really quite unoriginal

To be honest, the only attribute that it has, that I am not overly pleased about, is the fuel economy. It's currently returning somewhere between 'crap' and 'dire' miles per gallon. I am attempting to solve the above problem by driving very sensibly, average motorway speed of 55mph. As someone who is known for slow, sensible driving....i have been awarded points for it in fact....you'll know this isn't a great challenge, but it's still a little bit of an effort at the moment

My painting is all done. I had set out with the intention of painting every wall, ceiling and skirting board in the flat...this ambition changed slightly as the work progressed, but I think I found a happy medium (a medium? Ooh I don't think so sir)

People argue that you should paint ceilings first, but they're wrong. Ceilings are the messiest part and I think realistically if I'd done them first (or at all in fact) I'd have spilt so much paint on the carpet that Dulux would be coming to me for supplies. As an extra bonus, by not doing ceilings I didn't need to unleash my extendable roller, or my second tin of paint, so that went back and the money is in the bank

I noticed today that since its inception in January, my blog has now topped 8000 hits. I doubt this would be seen as impressive in blogging circles, but either way I'm pretty pleased...especially since the last 2 weeks have been more or less Blog Free

A wonderful afternoon today with Amelia and a friend (&son), very brief trip to The Range (you won't believe it) and then off to the Common to play in the playground. Amelia was annoyed as she wanted to get home, but I just can't resist a see saw or roundabout....and don't even get me started on swinging

I was looking in the mirror earlier and I couldn't help but think 'you look so much like David Beckham it's unreal'. Then I noticed that it was a reflection...of a poster....with only pants on.


I'm joking of course....no pants ;-)

So as to not bore anyone I shall leave it at that tonight, I'm sure I'll think of something once I've published, always do, but hey, another day another dollar

Lets finish off with some pictures, which will actually make a pleasant change. My new doormat, BBC looking like dildos again, amazing defacing of property and no wonder it's all going wrong in the financial sector...relaxing place to work though ;-)

Bye bye for now
