Whooshy

Must go sailing/get boat sorted this weekend if nothing else. This spring and its showers are dragging on. It feels as though we should have been out every day for the past 6 months at the moment.

Perhaps it's something to do with last spring being so warm; following by the must utterly rubbish summer and house buying nightmare. I dunno.

Got to get out, even if it's just for a float.

Fuzzy

The sight of two rather manky looking chefs sitting outside smoking, as we approached the restaurant on Friday evening did nothing for my appetite. I almost had a Gordon Ramsay moment after 2 glasses of wine on a virtually empty stomach when I noticed on the bill that they had charged for my food. Gits.
Everybody else appeared to enjoy their meal as I mauled a rack of lamb that smelt like mutton and tried to chew on calamari that had the texture of rubber bands.
I had a rather classy hangover to show for my pickiness the following day. The kind that gets worse and worse, until I forced myself to down a G&T to ease my suffering. It's been quite a long time since I last experienced a second heartbeat in my head.
Since adjusting to a rather hectic new schedule, I'd become quite sensible. It's quite nice to know that it hasn't lasted too long.

See the B52's (will consider this box ticked if they make it to July without falling out)

Paintball offensive boats (note I didn't say motorboats, but I think they account for 90% of the wash creating and pretend that they haven't seen you whilst a) aiming at you and b) getting far too close)

Climb K2 (I no longer want to do this for some reason)

Meet a gorilla

Catch sea bass for once, instead of mackeral all the time

FFS and other things

The weekend proved to be a sure step forward weatherwise; aside from the lack of wind that is.

It's actually warm; which is quite some news because the sun hasn't shone in this neck of the woods since around last April and even then, it didn't hang around for very long.

So weekend and evening BBQ's and boat scrubbing aside, I'm currently sitting at my desk; doing my bit in order to buy the boat polish, steaks and wine (Pimms too, sod no drinking during the week for now).

I'm also mad as stink for the second time in three days. All work related, of course and am blooging in an attempt to resist the urge to poke the person who has antagonised me far too many times for their own good recently in the eye.

Fun and larks.

Oh and me phone is being an arse, so I'm re-posting a piccy of Biccy.

Bemused

Truth be known, I have been in a rather foul mood all week for no apparent reason.

One of those dark periods of time where feeling optimistic and remotely jolly is more than a chore and the only thing I want to is lock the door and turn my back to it.

I am slightly bamboozled about not being entirely sure why; so I went through a list of things that could have contributed before making my mind up to get on with it. Well not exacly, as it never happens that way. I just feel alright today.

Possibles:

Train - maybe, but the train is more likely to see me spitting feathers than moping

Weather - More likely than the above. It's been raining almost non-stop since the beginnning of the week and my mood did lift when the sun came out this morning.

Colleague (s) - Hmmm. Not too likely, as any negativity is always replaced by glee once I am out of the door for the day.

Fur work stress - Is the attempted mutilation of one's laptop as the result of a discontent moment a reason to be miserable? Hissy fits shouldn't really count..

Being rubbish and most likely selfish - Top of the list.

A combination of the above.

Any suggestions most welcome.

Fuff out
