Ridiculous

 

So, I have some weird thoughts sometimes and, you lucky people, I'm going to share them with you 😄

- when I watch crime TV (document or drama) and someone has been stabbed they often mention defensive wounds, when the victim has tried to grab the knife. And I just think, what are you doing trying to grab the blade of a knife? Think of your hands! But of course, this is ridiculous of me because obviously if you're getting stabbed you don't care about cutting your fingers!!

- you know the massive Lego sets that you can build into a spaceship and such like? Well, I think you should buy these ready erected, like an ornament. This is ridiculous because if you are into Lego the whole point is to build it yourself, and be, like, proud! 

- when I was dieing and always trying to lose weight I thought it was pointless to just lose, say, 1lb a month. This is ridiculous because after even 2 years you've lost 24lbs instead of just staying the same. 2 years passes fast. 

- then there's alcohol free alcohol. Even that is an oxymoron, and just why? But actually if you can find a nice alcohol free wine or beer then they are really good when you're trying to cut down or are driving. I stand corrected. 

- finally one that I haven't changed my mind on. If you are a vegan (and that's totally fine if you are) but why oh why do you want to eat fake meat? Eat all the naturally meat free foods you want but something that pretends to be a rasher of bacon or a burger that isn't, is ridiculous! You want something that's like chicken? Eat chicken, it's very like chicken. So says I.

My socks are still all over my bedroom, not quite got round to sorting them but I have done my wardrobe. I was sick of clothes sliding off the hangers into the floor so I treat myself to 50 velvet hangers (so cheap on Amazon). I got all my clothes out and re hung them and put all my winter clothes into a suitcase (or 2). It looks lovely and tidy. Socks will be next, followed by shoes.

I need to apologise to my son. Last week I wrote that he'd had egg on porridge as a substitute to toast, which is true. However, I found out that it was an actual recipe that he found. Savoury oatmeal with chilli a bit like American grits - so not quite as mad as I thought. Although I still don't fancy it.

Can someone sensible please, please, please tell me they have done this (otherwise I have really lost the plot). The other evening, after work, I stopped at ASDA. As I was walking through the carpark I rang my neighbour to ask if she needed anything. As she answered I suddenly realised I didn't know where my phone was! It had been in my pocket but no longer was. I started to head back to the car to check if I'd dropped it when I realised it was in my hand, at my ear and I was using it to talk to Gill. Now, surely someone else has done this too?? Please let me know. 

Have a great week. 

You can do anything,  but not everything.
