How Was Your Day?

[Rincewind]

Bit worn out.

Went over to Oadby to use what I had on an Asda gift card. First time I used my free bus pass.

 

 

Then went into the Wetherspoons for a couple of discounted pints using vouchers from CAMRA. Tiring day for an OAP like me.

 

Does this count as a super-dooper humblebrag?

Done my gardening this morning. The grass has gone from shin height to the point where Murray and Djokovic may be playing on it tomorrow in stead of SW19. Borders trimmed, hedges done.

 

Sunbathing this afternoon, I really fancy getting on it now but the missis needs picking up from work at 8pm

 

Golf in the morning

Rincewind people like you annoy me, still fit to work and could easily get a decent 35 hour a week job but rather sit on benefits and brag about how you get everything half price and for free. When's their honest people struggling to live atm.

He isnt really bragging is he... Getting a bus pass is a kind of a landmark in life and i`m sure this is how he sees it, I know its how i`m seeing it.

 

He`s also just had a spell in hospital and I doubt a 35 hours a week job would be the best thing for him right now.

I would prefer to work TBH. I have tried for the past 18 months. I worked for 45 years. What am I supposed to do? I am only having what I am entitled to by the laws of the land. I work a few hours a week part time and my income is less than it would be if I worked 40-60 hours a week but my health is better. I choose and budget for my income. I am not wealthy and I  cannot afford a City season ticket, Sky TV, £35 pm mobile phone or run a car. I do not sit on my backside I try to keep active and volunteer for causesa when I can. I find it more worthwhile and rewarding.

 

TBH I was trying to be cheerful and post  some light-hearted stuff. It seems people have had enough of hearing about government (take your choice of parties) and their latest out of touch cock ups.

On Tuesdays I hear various stories and info from sources other than the mainstream newspapers and give it out on air on the Thursday radio show. So it is available for those interested without me posting it.

I'm trying not to post negative things now.

It's the most shocking thing ever, i'm in skeggy and there's not even a cloud in the sky.

Leicester shirts , 1x Rotherham United, 1x Derby shirt, 1x Sunderland, 4x Chelsea

Do you have a little book to write them all down in like train spotters  

[The Year Of The Fox]

Just found out I'm in fact playing TWO rounds of golf tomorrow. Christ I'm knackered after 18.

Skegness - a place where the entertainment is full kit willy puller spotting.

Watching Elementary and the main door was kicked im. Cops arrive. Never saw the door but they said it was definately broken. Maddening thing is my neighbour swears he doesn't know them. He said to me 'They were outsiders' It was still light and I don't believe burglars operate when they can be seen by people in the area.

I don't know what happened to the bloke they got Friday. The cop said it will be sorted. Even he said it was not good enough.  When he denied knowing them I told my neighbour it's just a matter of eliminating fingerprints.

The cops are aware so maybe they get here as they are doing it next time.

 

Also early this morning the fire alarm went off.  My neighbour silenced it but there was no key to reset. Got home today and he miracuously found the key. I took charge of it and said because if it is left neat the panel it will disappear. There is also a key

Cops are outside with a laptop resting on a bin and taking photographs.

Someones doing a lot of hammering.

It's one slip up and easily done when you've been drinking. Don't let all your good work so far go to waste. It really is a disgusting, smelly habit. (Yep, I admit it, I'm an ex-smoker!)

[Rincewind]

Considering going Nottingham today. Not a lot in Leicester. (been most places) Nice day don't want to be stuck indoors. Trouble is may end up in a beer garden and I need to resist the temptation to spend money and overdo the alcohol.

 

I did say I was considering packing it in after a visit to the doctor but as long as I'm sensible I should be OK. Not been called in for another blood test yet.

 

Derby beer festival is on next week Wed-Sun. Hoping to go Friday or Saturday.

How about a day at the seaside?

[MooseBreath]

Go against the doctors advice and keep drinking kenbo. Don't worry, the tax payer will be there to fund your medical care at the end of the day.

[Rincewind]

Which seaside. Bit far for a day  out.

Nottingham was OK. Walked along thw canal visited the Trip and Primark (no better than Leicester's) and got home as Murray was lifting the Trophy I supposed it will keep being repeated for the next 12 months. What are the odds on him getting the SPotY?

 

Lost my badge hat. It had a couple of City badges on. Lost on either the train or Nottingham bus station.

[Leicesterpool]

Been a chill out Sunday really, woke up at 6:45, went for a jog on the seafront. Got back, went on my laptop for a bit, had dinner, then slept for a few hours. So yeah a pretty relaxing Sunday. Might watch Troy tonight.

 

Blimey its bloody hot!

36 holes of golf today. Shattered. I hit 111 then 112. I made a few pars as well. I had some nightmare holes too though as the score shows.

I've got some right tan lines now!

[Fox92]

BBQ today, in the garden most of the day. Very hot though, and my arms are slightly red now! Hope it isn't as hot tonight though, can never sleep in heat.

[The Year Of The Fox]

You always know if you've got burnt if you get in the a bath and it hurts!

[FoxyPV]

Made the most of the good weather yesterday and took FoxyJr crab hunting at the rock pools at the local beach.

Booked a holiday to Tunisia for 2 weeks at the end of August. Went for a nandos, then had a round of golf. Good day.

[BoneDog]

Took the dog for a massive walk earlier and he was ker-nackered. Walked past two squirrels and he couldn't even be arsed to flinch.
