Mark Asser / is on Nostr

Idle. Sometimes bone-idle. Trying to write fiction, intermittently. Also (still) trying to find the right chap. Easily distracted. I'm in South Australia, by the way. Sealions muted on sight.

Not if it's already clogged with prams and things, and an elderly guide dog with a preference for lying down in the aisle instead of under the seat... People actually use the buses here, which is nice.

Perils. They're everywhere. Take, for example, ice-cold Voltaren (not the pills, the smeary gloop). One has muscular pains in one's side, one grabs the tube and splats on a bit of the gloop, and suddenly one flinches because of the cold and the muscle spasms and there are terrible screams and much foul language.

This story is probably my favourite of the current crop of stories-that-keep-on-giving.

Today's source of glee is a letter from the Council. They set up a 'no parking between 3 and 4pm on school days' zone across the road to stop entitled pricks with kids at the non-government school across the road from clogging up the street. It's failed because these utter dicks just kept parking in it while others queued to get into the carpark, thus blocking the street.
Council is now replacing the 'no parking' signs with 'no stopping' signs. This is going to annoy a whole raft of people who bloody deserve it.
Tonight's menu: schadenfreude and chips.

Spike Milligan did a splendid retelling of the first half.

It's that time again. One of my feet is starting to tunnel out from under the covers. The other will follow it. They'll take my legs with them. The rest of me will be dragged along, like it or not. Verticality is imminent.

I meant to empty it yesterday. If I leave it much longer it'll need another wash.

Out of bed, that's where I should be. Among other things I need to empty the dishwasher, but of course if I don't get out of bed I needn't bother. The case for doing anything at all is getting harder to construct.
