78

When somebody says "bear with me" during a phone conversation, I picture them sitting with a big brown bear standing behind them, listening on our chat (your call may be recorded for training purposes etc).

Snippet of late evening conversation

"I smell of cheese [pause] t's a good smell"

"You are very Martha Stewart"

Paul Merton would be so proud.

Happy birthday to me

Bubble tea

OK it's a bit early since it should be tomorrow but tomorrow I have some important and boring things to do. Things like: A) joining the queue of over-optimistic parents who put their child through the entrance exam for one of the local grammar schools (The Boy's candidate number is in the 1600's, there are only 120 place, you do the maths) and B) looking around properties with estate agents. This mean there will be no time at all for fun stuff tomorrow so the birthday stuff was brought forward by a day.

On the wish list this year:

  • Cake that I didn't have to make - Check
  • Mind blowing kiss - Check
  • Trying bubble tea - Check

For the last one, MFC decided the best place to go would be the Oriental City food court in Colindale. I am not normally a big fan of frog spawn , or sweet tea but I have to admit bubble tea worked for me. There is something about the large straw and the chewy balls which is quite satisfying so much so that despite being full to the brim with bento with side serving of sushi goodness (The Boy), glass noodles with seafood goodness (MFC) and seafood dumpling soup goodness we just had to try melon pearl drink and watermelon pearl drink (it is still the year of the pig for a little bit after all so it's ok to eat like one for another month right?).

Nice extras that were not on the list but that I got anyway:

Oops better go take the Christmas decorations down .

You know, the one with the pram tumbling down the stairs

The film: Battleship Potemkin

The soundtrack: performed by the Pet Shop Boys and the BBC orchestra  

The venue : The Barbican  

The verdict: Neil Tennant missed out a great opportunity to belt out a camped up electronica version of The Internationale when he re-wrote the score.

Public service announcement

Aimed at the barely 20something year old who was poking, squeezing and generally fondling his moobies while standing by the side of the swimming pool yesterday:

  1. I know you looked lost into your own world but you were not invisible, we (that's the 2 other women in the pool and myself) could see you.
  2. Please don't manhandle them when I am trying to get into a rhythm. I mean do you know just how difficult it is to breathe regularly and not choke on pool water while failing to stifle a giggle?
  3. Had I drowned, it would have pained my dead self that cause of death might have been pinned on my lack of fitness rather than you fancying your C cups more than is appropriate in public.

My sincere apologies

To all the people with whom I am currently playing Scrabulous on Facebook for slacking a bit.

See it was a choice between the screen and a game with MFC on a physical board with the nasty plastic tiles in a green bag while drinking beer and eating pork scratchings in the local.

Playing with MFC in the pub and beer won, sorry.
