Not deep, meaningful nuggets though. I don't really do those. More like the sort of thing that pops into your head when you realise that the world is not only random but actively going out of its way to screw with you.
So...
But when I put a duvet cover into the washing machine it will magically swallow everything else in there.
Maybe that's where I'm going wrong. Maybe I should wash the duvet and the cover at the same time and let them bond naturally.
How come... I can spend an entire night desperately trying to get to sleep...
But when the alarm goes off I suddenly can't keep my eyes open.
I'm convinced that I've spent most of my adult life surviving on the 40 minutes of sleep I get in the gap between my alarm going off and actually getting up.
So tonight I'm going to try a little experiment. I'm going to set the alarm for 2345 and see what happens.
How come... I keep seeing discarded underpants lying in the street? What's the story there?
I can understand if there was an accident involved but I keep seeing perfectly intact, perfectly clean grundies draped across hedges. Never mind, "Who Shot Kennedy" I need to know whose kecks those were I saw on my way into work on Friday morning.
How come... I see people happily marching along with their nose stuck in the phone - but when I walk along reading my book I get shouted at?
That is, admittedly, a bit dumb on my part but some consistency would be nice.
How come... I can use my debit card to buy a bottle of Coke and the whole transaction can last less than a minute - but it then takes two days to come off my account balance?
The bank presumably knows whether I have the money or not, and Christ knows they're fast enough to put the kibosh on when I'm 15p short. So how hard can it be to have an account balance that reflects current events?
Whatever. Now I'm in a bad mood so I'm going to go raid my fridge and watch dumb shit on Youtube.
That's all folks.
Do the duvet cover up before you wash it.
ReplyDeleteDoh!
DeleteHey there, dedicated blogger...

Oh I say. that's very nice of you. Thanks.
DeleteHAHA I totally get the duvet cover thing. Furthermore, my comforter always ends up in one corner of the cover after a couple of days. I feel like I need to just get a quilt.
ReplyDeleteHi Vanessa. I'm looking forward to the summer when I can get away with just a throw-blanket.
DeleteExactly so! Or move to a warm climate permanently!
DeleteI lived for a few years in the UK and loved the country dearly. But my husband had had enough bad weather and pale-faced babies. He wanted to sleep once again with just silken sheets and a light blanket.
On the other hand, be grateful that you don't have bush fires that ravage the countryside and nasty crocodiles in the tropics.
I have tio admit that's one of my favourite things about Britain: No big predators. Or even medium sized predators. Badgers are vicious bastards who'll do for you if you get too close but as far as I know, have never eaten anybody.
