A DAY IN THE LIFE

couch-potato-cat

I’ve been terribly busy of late
There are so many things to be done
Roll out of my bed and shower and shave
Toast and then butter a sweet sticky bun.

Then a little sit down to plan out the day
With a coffee to wake up my brain.
The garden needs digging and the grass is quite long
I’d better press on – oh no here’s the rain.

Plan number two, the shelves in the hall
They’ve needed tending and fixing for weeks
I’ll just check my emails … and Facebook and Twitter
My goodness the world’s full of nutters and geeks.

Oooo – time for a break, have some biccies and tea
With the Saga magazine to leaf through.
And now I can’t think, because of the pace
If earlier I managed a scratch and a poo.

Never mind – I really must start on my chores
And use every moment that’s left
I’ll just switch on the telly to check on the weather
And oh dear, now what’s that? That poor woman’s bereft!

Where has the time gone? It’s time for my lunch
And a snooze to regain my will power.
The trouble is now it’s hardly worthwhile
To start anything new – I’ve just seen the hour.

Well another full day has been done and been dusted
It’s time to unwind and relax
I’m hoping the morrow will bring some relief
For my blisters, and more for my poor aching back.

(Don’t fret, Peabrain. There’s another large consignment of horse liniment arriving shortly. Lo,TG Ed)

    Though it was kind {{rolls eyes}} of you to update us on the status of the ‘poo’ portion of your life, some of us are already all too aware of it.

    The Canadian chapter of ‘Nutters and Geeks’ was planning on publishing a cook book to raise funds to help send that brave Canadian plumber over to the head office; have you a recipe you could share?

    daddyp replied:

    My signature dish is baked beans on toast ….. or would that be a bit sophisticated for Canadialand? …….

    Nutters and Geeks (Canadian Chapter) replied:

    Actually… the army, settlers and fur traders relied on them and regarded them quite the necessity. Did you know during the Klondike Gold Rush, beans sold for $1.50/lb.?

    Why else would I be able to find a plumber (experienced enough and willing to tackle your office lavatory) here in Canadialand?

    Perhaps you should ‘jazz’ up your recipe though, by serving the beans on bannock instead of toast? After all, shouldn’t you want to thank Canada for sacrificing a plumber for you?

    daddyp replied:

    $1.50 a pound!!!!!!? …… that’s a fortune!!! …. perhaps I’ll go for just the toast ….. I’m a bit strapped for cash at the moment …… I have no idea why ………..

    Geeks'n'Nutters (Chichester Chapter) replied:

    Best not to encourage DP in the kitchen Frac, I seem to recall a bit of a ruckus the last time he tried Bannockburn…..

    daddyp replied:

    You could be right …… I’ve only just cleared up the mess from cooking oeuf à la coque ……

    Nutters and Geeks (Canadian Chapter) replied:

    I’m sure you’re right. How’s the original chapter making out over there in Chichester? I hope you don’t mind us Canucks starting a chapter over here? (We’ve reversed the order of the name just so folks realized we’re on the ‘other’ side of the pond.)

    daddyp replied:

    You’re on the other side!!!!?! ……. is Doris Stokes here?

    Geeks'n'Nutters (Chichester Chapter) replied:

    I’m sure the Chapterhood is thriving over there. I guess you’re doing Fracretarial stuff for them too. [do they pay better than your UK employer?]

    daddyp replied:

    How many chapters are there in this pulp fiction? or are they fictional factions?

    stupid cat, sittin around waitin for his welfare check

    daddyp replied:

    Yer …… stoopid cat …….. chase it away Nooter ….. if you’re ‘man’ enough …..

    70steen replied:

    shouldn’t that be ‘dog’ enough… I am guessing that Nooter is not a King Charles Spanielwho are friends to the world and think they are not actually dogs?

    daddyp replied:

    I believe that Nooter thinks he’s a man really ….. I didn’t want to upset him. Your pooch is obviously a special case ………

    70steen replied:

    she is very special ’sigh why didn’t we buy a real dog’

    daddyp replied:

    We used to have border collies ….. the main drawback was they were more intelligent than me ….
