On The Up!

Well for a change I took on the germs and didn't wallow in self-pity like I should do, being a bloke....

....paracetemol, water, tea, leftover spare ribs for breakfast perked me up. I didn't go in to clean the pub today but 99% will tomorrow. In fact, by early afternoon I felt so much better that I began delivering this week's freebie papers!

Picked Sam up from nursery - his last EVER day at nursery - and we had a pretty good evening. All but one Mister Muddle cock-up. The lamb I was planning to cook tonight ran out of date yesterday - I was amazed as I only bought it on Friday. Guess I'll have to take more notice from now on. So, we had to make an emergency Tesco trip, and grabbed chicken breasts.

Now, not sure if you know the lady in question at Gaywood Tesco, but she never seems to mind being called Chicken Breasts, and positively LOVES being grabbed by the customers.

Joking of course. Tea tonight was carrot & swede mash (so sweet-tasting when you cook it very slowly), sweetcorn, buttery mashed potato, peas, and we shared a grilled chicken breast fillet. We scoffed it up! Great to see Sam eating so well, especially his vegetables. Because of the meat mistake we were running late so we only had 10 minutes bath time before it was time to head back to mummy's, but there was another epic battle between Sam's goodies and Daddy's Baddies. If only my lot would stop there trousers falling down, clean the paint off the end of their telescopes, resist the urge to start belting out disco classics in the heat of battle, etc, they may have a chance to win.

Claudius the cat (seemingly on purpose!) took a huge pooh in the middle of the battle. It honked. YUUUUUUUUUK!

Sam was not too happy at having to get straight out of the bath then heading out of the door, but in these instances it's a matter of trying to make him laugh and forget about leaving. That, of course, is hard work for me, because I don't want him to go either!

Tomorrow should be a "relatively" easy day, which will be nice. Might even head down to see the Grumpy Old Men if I feel up to it!

Pic is Sir Chopalot, tonight's sole survivor. Sam won.....again.
