:hallo: Folksies

Fecking sweltering here. 37C the last time I looked. Almost sorry we're not in the local mall anymore. Survived MIL and have deposited her at home. Collected niece at res. Now just trying to survive the heat. Might have to brave the sun and get into the pool.

Good Morning, Army!!!!!!

Just rolled out of bed and my curly red hair would either win me a Medusa prize or Kramer on Seinfeld. Geez, no wonder I haven't had a date in 6 years.

Tips:

Survived MIL and have deposited her at home.
:H:H Sweltering in SA, huh? Ugh. Not good! Enjoy the pool...naked of course.

Hi Jackie and Molly! Hope you are having a lovely day. I was watching the Olympics last night, and OMG, the Skeleton competition....my stomach was rolling so much I could barely stand it. I thought I was going to be carsick right on the Stairmaster. Those ladies on those sleds must have ovaries of brass!

Hi fair lassie Satz! I did LOVE to read Rox -and lost it while drinking I suppose. Now this 'effin laptop has taken over.

Me, too, Satz! If you're looking for a great book, read "Blame." I could NOT put it down.

Better pop on the Abs Thread. Hi to Dream and all my friends here....hope you're having a peaceful day!!!!

Mario, this isn't fun - it's a few degrees hotter than tolerable.

Rusty! I think the kids would have a fit or something. Never mind damaging their retinas - they always joke about having to put sunglasses on when I'm wearing shorts. The rest of me is even whiter.

We haven't watched any of the Olympics, for some or other reason. Maybe the sight of snow will cool me down.

Wot's up, Molls?

I burn, peel and return to white... Clearly the few centuries my ancestors have been in Africa haven't been long enough. We're still regarded as colonialists in any case.

DO NOT TALK ENDLESSLY AT ME AT A CHECKOUT IN FRIGGINTESCO'S --- just cos your kid and my kid went to school together when they were like 5 - does NOT mean that I am fascinated by your daughters education jobs husband (or lack of) your grandchildren OR your bowel movements ---


SERIOUSLY --- she talked at me for 20 mins!! I couldn't even remember her name or who her daughter was --- I'm all for a wee chat IF (and only IF) the customer feels like chatting --- I rarely would instigate chatting with someone unless they obviously wanted to --- then try stopping me --- but latherin HEART --- wanted to smack her one!!! Sorry - just a bugbear of mine --- I HATE friggintesco so much -- to spend an extra 20 mins listening to other peoples lives when I don't even know who they are - and a queue a MILE long forming behind me -- most of them looking daggers at ME cos they thought I was delaying HER!!!!! Just check out my food --- tell me it's cold outside and it'll get warmer tomorrow --- and LET ME GO!!!!! --- rant over

New toaster, new iron and apparently (courtesy of Joey) new sockets --- if my leccie goes off ONCE in the next 95 yrs I'll lose the plot:H
Right - coffee ice hockey and candy crush afore the ironing --- happy days!!!

X-post

Alrighty, then :H:H:H

Speaking of mongrels. Mrs. T and mum get really pissed off when I refer to the cubs as "halfnaaitjies" - archaic local slang for kids born to people across the "colour divide". Their reaction just eggs me on, of course.

Off to goggle the Spanish Armada. Rings a faint bell... I'm not exactly a world historian.

See you in a bit Molls.

Panting here... another dip in the pool required. Was hoping for a nanna nap, but it would be impossible.

I haven't had a proper meal meal today - too fecking hot to eat much. Didn't stop me from gobbling 4 of those choc-covered marsmallow easter eggs.

Very late check in from Whizzy.
Got flu and been in bed all day. ( Still better than a hangover)
Weather been awful and lots of damage done to the house I sold to my daughter.

My mother originally from Kinsale who had very dark hair used to always tell us the story of the Armada and reckoned that is where the family Spanish colouring.
Just going to take a paracetomol and get back to sleep.
