annanotbob2's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two out of three ain't bad It's Bloke's birthday tomorrow and I've made a bit of an effort, painted him a card, bought a banana plant to replace the one he loved that was caught by the deep frost we had this winter and a few more bits of decorative malarkey from the National Trust shop. We're going to have lunch in Brighton with daughter and Grandson, then go to an exhibition of photos by a local guy we both knew. For fuck's sake. Today has been hectic - HIIT, then mad dash to a farm shop to buy blackcurrants, quick before fucking Ribena buy them all, managed to get enough to make a couple of jars of jam and have boxes in the freezer to sustain me over the winter. Started a sourdough loaf, cooked my lunch, went to art group, painted a load of copies of the wildflower patch at the National Trust place, had a swim with Daughter, sat on the beach under a heavy grey sky chatting shit for too long, came home, made dinner, did my line of crochet, waited for Bloke to go to bed, got all the birthday shit out of the car, set it all up to look cool, while doing 'stretch and turn' on the sourdough every hour. Not resting, not quite. But the good news is that both the seats with the big Tory majorities were lost, one to Labour, one to the Lib Dems. The fuckers kept Uxbridge but only just, by 495 votes and at least the repugnant L Fox lost his deposit. I can't wait for them all to fuck the fuck right fucking off.
