26 Feb 2014. WHY BOTHER?BLOG.
www.whybother?co.uk
Got up and had breakfast (lightly boiled egg, toast, coffee, one sugar as usual). Unlike some people who sort of bash in the top of my egg with a spoon I always slice the top. This is because one time when I bashed it in it left little bits off eggshell in my egg. Not pleasant. So I never did it again. After breakfast I cleaned two pair of shoes, one brown one black, then tidied out my sock draw as it was getting in a bit of a mess.
Then came the first highlight of my day, if you don’t count my breakfast, when I caught up with other bloggers blogs. I’m reading ten blogs a day at the moment, but not always the same ones. I suppose I read about twenty blogs altogether, fifteen of them regularly. I went to Home Thoughts from a Broad first (still my very favourite blog title even if she doesn’t live abroad, she lives in Northampton, but I suppose HomeThoughts from Northampton isn’t as eye-catching), to see if she’d finally made up her mind about her new bedroom curtains. Interestingly she had. She chose the yellow flowered ones on a white background in preference to the yellow and cream striped ones. Personally I thought she’d go for the striped ones myself (as I wrote in my blog last week and the week before), but there you go, you can’t win them all. I made four comments. I hadn’t really got anything in particular to say so I confined them to ‘Good on you, Baz’, ‘Well, that’s life’ Sophie, ‘Wow!’ and ‘First comment on your post of today at long last. Hurrah!’ It’s nice to be involved.
Then I checked to see if I had any comments from my post of yesterday. There were two (making six for the week, one up on last week). They were ‘Good on you, Cec’ from Baz and ‘C’est la vie’ from Pierre. (Pierre on www.frogblog.org is well worth checking out. I visited his blog initially because I’ve always been interested in pond life and quite naturally thought his blog was all about frogs but even though it turned out not to be about frogs but about his life in Rouens I’m glad I did as he’s a very interesting chap).
Then I checked to see if there had been any comments to any of my three comments but there weren’t. Then I went for a walk. It wasn’t raining again. I am fairly sure that is an original statement. I have heard the expression ‘It’s raining again’ many times but I’m pretty sure I’ve never heard anyone say ‘It wasn’t raining again’. I may well have added to the world’s vocabulary!!! It started raining again just after I started my walk and it occurred to me that if it had already been raining when I set out I might never have added to the world’s vocabulary, if I have added to the world’s vocabulary. It just goes to show, doesn’t it. Then I posted on my blog what I have written so far.
Next I went to the launderette to do my weekly wash (seven shirts, seven pairs of socks, seven pairs of underpants (boxers now, thanks for the tip Julie), two pullovers, three towels, two sheets, one duvet cover (blue). A man in the launderette told me that he used to wear y-fronts and now he wears boxers but he’s thinking of going back to y-fronts because he feels uncomfortable walking about in Ricky Hatton and Muhammad Ali. (I think he was making a joke but he looked serious when he said it.)
The launderette has been redecorated. The green painted walls are now lemon and the woodwork has gone from blue to white. Suzy’s (Home Thoughts From a Broad) yellow flowered curtains would go well with it but it looks like they’re sticking with the old green spotted curtains unless it’s just that they haven’t got round to changing them yet. Probably they haven’t got round to changing them just yet.
On the walk back with my clean washing the rain stopped again. Then it started again just before I got home. When I got back I dried myself off (home and dry!) and checked to see if there had been any comments on my post so far. Just one. Pierre said that he thought Suzy would have gone for the flowered curtains too. I thought he might say that. I commented ‘Good on you Pierre’.
