Unrelated apple sliced by UFO. |
Home Improvement. Nothing of universal
significance really happened today although I wasn't maintaining
complete attention at all times, I may have missed a bit of detail or
hot action. The chicken salad worked for me and on me but that's
another story. Once there were two breakfast yogurts, then none, the
flavours were modern and vague. In the background a radio played and
it felt cold outside but I learned a lot about Scottish Islam Week,
it's on this week all across Glasgow with a series of gritty events
being run. I won't be bothering attending much this year as I am
without the appropriate head gear or any meaningful religious values
whatsoever.
I wore a jumper straight from the hot
tumble dryer and noted that it took a short but fuzzy car journey to
work to uncrease the creases. Ironing is so 20th century I
told myself. Later I visited the Post Office to collect two parcels.
The journey was marked by the buzzing of an irritating VW Golf that
seemed to latch itself onto my rear bumper. It's driver was a
complete stranger.
Once there I managed to pass myself of
as both myself and my wife and still got away with one electronic
signature and a wink from the girl behind the counter. We've yet to
open the mysterious packages and why oh why did they send me a text
message to tell me a parcel was coming, then not deliver it but just
leave a red and white card with scribbles on it? Then they sent me a
text message to tell me they've left me a red and white card and I
cannot reply to the no-reply text number they use. It happened twice
(?). So that's why I have to drive 7.5 miles through road works and
pot holes and traffic lights and back again to get to the Post Office
pickup counter where I park badly in protest.
In general and without malice I blame
the road-men and the dead weather for the general non-delivery of
things and what I like to call their “happiness sabotage”. So I
can't even be bothered to turn on the telly but if I did I now have
a smart SKY connector to connect the stupid TV to the slow-witted
wi-fi, if only I could get around to opening up the package. I think
I may have left it in the boot. Tomorrow it's an airport tea for me
and though you can't start a proper sentence with so you can end a
badly constructed sentence with so.
