the bloke downstairs is selling his flat, so we're going to have to get used to new neighbours, after 8 years, he's been alright, very quiet, away a lot...
i was thinking of trying to put off potential buyers by sitting on the door step, in a vest and trousers (no socks or shoes) trousers flying low, the mouse nearly out iof the house, swigging tenants super and yelling at eveyone who walks past the door...
but then i realised i did that all of last week, and it's time i got myself a new hobby
and hox needs it's vest back...
They're just jealous because i played beach volley ball with Heidi Klum and Monica Belluci...ignore them john they're all hot air mate... probably too much pumping pie.
*sniggers*
i'm just off for lunch, and i have to remember to post a card to my parents who "celebrate" 40 years marriage on the 31st, also their mates, who also celebrate 40 years, they knew eachother then, and got married the same day, people had 2 receptions to go two, people were going between the two...
we're off to see them on sunday, but my moany old dad, doesn't think it's worth celebrating, so he won't be getting a present then, and mum will, for putting up with the old *%@# since 1964
and i celebrate my 40th in 5 months time...
medical technology was apparently vary advanced in bath in those days as i have been informed by mum that i was a premature baby
I'm in an email cafe. AGAIN.
Woke up. Read the first half of 'An Artist of the Floating World'
Wrote a 'Things to Do' list-
1. email
2. photos
3. Brian's present
4. Milk
5. Butter
6. Bread
7. Breaded Pork
8. Cheese?
9. Amend 'Things to Do' list
Still struggling with the first one. Will slim it down to just some breaded pork.. and then spend the rest of my day settling into another new apartment (although this one is anything but new).. bollocks to decorating.
So many mosquitoes.. so little time.
[%sig%]
I've managed to put off doing three things I really need to do whilst reading this utterly mundane post.
I will now go and talk to Fidel Catstro and tell her that she is annoying me by scratching on my office door. It will not be gentle. She will not come in. She shall not pass.
meant to say is any one slim enough..
i am in a bad mood btw, got a shitty e-mail from my boss...
now i must learn to strop, something i have never been able to do properly
saw a little mouse at the bus stop. I don't think it was waiting for a bus though. I smiled at it, but everyone started backing away from me not knowing why I was smiling at the floor.
went to post office and posted my heart to another country where it won't be able to hurt me again. At least not till it gets back, should take it a while to find it's way back to me.
we decided to have the dog and after a very long family discussion in the the car on what to call her we managed to decide on Capt. Mo Marley ... as soon as bert saw the idiot dog he demoted her to corporal ... the kids chased her round the RSPCA centre for half an hr and then we came home ...
since then i bought some very expensive staples and left the stapler in tescos and had to go back for it ... the woman at tesco was disappointed as she had her eye on it for the office ... it's a good stapler ... does up to 60 sheets of paper ...
Had lunch with Beyonce...swam the nile after lunch on a full stomach...played beach volley ball with heid klum and Monica Belluci mid afternoon, came home and wrote a booker prize finalist before tea. then spent about an hour answering comments on my poem 'I wish whales had bazookas.' on other sites.

"Pumping pie did it make you feel bloated john???"
Well, Bloated John, did it make you feel???
Am off to buy a pumpkin from the market so I can make pumping pie too. Have got some cardboard left over from the last time I tried to cook something. Luckily.
Please, call me BJ.
And no, I've never met pumping pie and I'm particular when it comes to my feelings.
*Puts on mucky rain mack and goes to fallow in Flashys foot steps*
Yes please Liana. My daughter wants to make it, but i don't know how and cant find it in any of the cook books i have hear.
She says she knows how, but then she always Say's that.

Thank you and will let you know how it goes after Sunday.
*Me daughter will be so impressed*
1. I had parsnip soup last weekend and quite liked it.
2. My face and ribs hurt from last night's fight with a policeman. (rather more mundane than it sounds, we are friends, but sloe gin and masculinity got the better of us)
3. Now wondering whether Miss Wainfleet is going to be more surprised by me being masculine or me eating vegetables... (suspect the former)
He's your mate Andrew?
I hope I'm not considered your enemy!
I doubt St Mary would be surprised about your masculinity either, you appeared completely mescaline when I met you.
Sorry I mean masculine, I really must learn to concentrate.
Must brave wind and rain for a trip to tesco express to buy more Rizla. Only five leaves left **enter stormy with revelatory Nick Drake connection**
Must check for car bombs.

I find that highly unbelievable, Flashmaster. You expect us to believe that you visit other writing sites? Pah!
