How did I ever have time to work?

I'm feeling a little left out. Photos of cleavage flying around Edinburgh, the earth moving in Kent and Windsor...

But the house is as clean and tidy as it's been for ages, as is the front garden. The neighbours will start to think we are tarting the place up ready to sell. My lecherous next door neighbour doesn't believe I don't have a job lined up and I shamed him into cutting his front lawn yesterday. I have this unusual thing at the moment that I keep doing jobs. Most unlike me. Mrs Moose went off to colect the mooselets who had each been at different friends for after school playtime and tea. In the hour or two she was gone I teak-oiled our garden bench, swept the drive and the path, and did the ironing.
This morning I've been on swimming lesson duty for mooselet #2 and then a DIY trip. Have just arrived at the office for a rest.

I visited the golf club yesterday and I think I will join. It has a fitness club too and is half way to here so it's just too convenient to pass up. Well, I'm convinced. I am planning to go later this afternoon and part with my cash.

Moose - it can be most satisfying getting those odd jobs done and think of all those brownie points from Mrs Moose!! Just how lecherous is your neighbour?

It's sunny here but very breezy and as a result, one of our neighbours has a wind chime which is sounding demented (other garden ornaments are available). This must be a new addition to their garden as I've never heard it before ..... the thing is, I HATE wind chimes. They drive me absolutely barmy. I'm sitting here blogging to you guys and all I can here is "ting ting ting" - I might have to break in to their garden and cut the bugger down! What with the bloody parrot one side of us, and now a wind chime on the other, I could well be certified before the week's up. Heeeeeeelp!!

OK, relax, deep breaths now ..... that's better. I think I'll be off to make a cuppa - anyone for a dunk-in?

Moose,

Isn't it amazing that when our circumstances change (for the better) the wee jobs that we used to find so impossible to attend to - are actually easy peasy?! Suddenly, we get energy from somewhere - it's just great.

You have made a move in your life, it's positive, and from now on - all systems are go!

I need some of that positive energy - where does one find it?!

Jollygit,
Very lecherous is the answer. He is famous for it throughout the village and beyond. I was once on a team day at a certain famous racecourse where he's a member. I was sitting having lunch with my 2 colleagues, one being a dusky maiden from Mauritius...very embarrassing as my neighbour lurched up to us, off his head and proceeded to drool over my colleague.
As I was cutting the grass yesterday he was walking past the lady who lives down a few houses. 'Do you like older men?' he asked. 'Yes, but I'm quite happy with the one I've got, thank you' came the reply. 'Well let me know if you ever get fed up with him.' Age gap 30 or 40 years...
He lusts after Mrs Moose's mother, quite openly. And he's infamous for walking about his garden and the village wearing his dressing gown and not a lot else.

Is that lecherous enough?

ChrissieS - energy. Good question. I once tried to analyse when, where and why I have energy and when, where and why I don't. For me, eating was a significant factor. When I overeat I have little energy. It starts immediately after having eaten but lasts much longer psychologically than the physical effects of the eating.

Think the sun is getting to me - just seen this and thought you may enjoy it with your afternoon cuppa. My favourites are numbers 7 & 8!!!

At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated,

"If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."

In response to Bill's comments, General Motors alledgedly issued a press release stating:

If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:

1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash........
Twice a day.

2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.

3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.

4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.

5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.

6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light.

7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.

8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.

9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.

10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.

...and I am plugged in to the radio. Very pleasant to sit here writing with a bit of music and chat.

And isn't Richard Allinson a million times better than SW?? IMHO

Hmmm Energy! What is this strange phenomena? It's a Tuesday afternoon, the office is baking, the electric lights are burning away like crazy at too bright a setting. All I want to do is close my eyes and drift off to ..... the very last city where the grass is green and the girls are pretty. Oh won't you please take me HOME!!!!

DD out

Moose said...

DD - I'm there with you!

Moose said...

...and has anyone checked out exactly what CLP is grabbing in the photo on the BBC website (Entertainment...Big Picture).

No wonder Natasha is smiling!

Bad double chin though...CLP that is, not Natasha.

Hi Moose
Agree that RA much better than SW.

Goodness your neighbour is more lecherous than a lecherous thing, how dreadful! Yuk!

Hope Mooselet #2 enjoyed swimming.

Caroline - LOL - its been years since I behaved outrageously and I laughed so much with your description of the night!

Jollygit - It is breezy here too but no windchimes or parrots (thank goodness!) - just the sound of traffic passing by and the occasional wild birdsong when things quieten down a bit. Oh and radio 2 playing softly as well! Good luck with the agency thing this week, will keep fingers and toes crossed that something comes of it.

Chrissie S - I am struggling on the energy front as well. I had a poorly child at the weekend and cannot make up for the lost nights sleep! He is fine now & bouncing around, me, on the other hand, could sleep for a week but am at work!

jollygit said...

Moose - your neighbour sounds horrendous. And as for him in his dressing gown ......

I absolutely agree about Richard Allinson - he should definitely have a weekday show, preferably the 2-5pm slot!!!

Amanda - thank you xx

Erm, I sometimes have my breakfast in the garden, in dressing gown (and PJ's), does this mean I'm a lech too?

Seems that I am a letch too, if breakfast in garden in PJ's and dressing gown is the criteria! Although do I get off on a technicality (oo-er missus) for my Simpsons slippers.

Firstly. Refresh refresh refresh how many more times and check to see if Moose has done a new post.

Secondly. Jollygit. See if you can get parrot to eat wind chimes. Two birds (or just one) with one tone. Sorry, sometimes I just gotta.

Thirdly. Sometimes I just have breakfast in my garden, whilst hanging my peejamamas on the line.

Moose - You may well be earning brownie (or beaver, or scout (other small childrens cults available)) points, but beware Mrs Moose expecting it all the time. I expect it from the boy at all, and I am constantly let down. Take it easy and don't build yourself up too much if I were you...

I cannot stand SW, although I think his 'playlist' is ok for bumbling along to in the office, i think he...sorry you all know how I feel and this is not the correct forum for spleen venting, unless you are a spleen ventor by profession(?) sorry I'm being offered a small tablet and my nice fitted jacket and I'm getting a bit fed up with the sycophancy that is going on on other radio shows what is he after will it stop now there are lots of sonys...that's it.

ps I think that the foldery thingie that CLP is clutching in the photo is the new pansy print dress by Kate Moss for Topshop.

Anonymous said...

Sorry guys - I posted it first on the 'other side' - remembered it while there...

I have been 'chatted up' by ANOTHER cross dresser.

I am giving up.

I am.

True.

Definitely.

Well, ok, maybe not COMPLETELY, but, oh dear - gotta larff!

Probably upset that they couldn't get hold of a new pansy print dress by Kate Moss for Topshop.

sammie - please tell him I know where he can get it if he wants it. This would apply to the LN of Moose too...

jollygit said...

Sammie - how come you know so many cross people? Is it something to do with the air where you live?!

Apologies to anyone who takes breakfast whilst in their dressing gown ..... it wasn't the dressing gown that I objected to, just the thought of a lecherous geezer wandering round the town in one!

I'm heading for the seriously dumb corner DC1!

Moose - sounds like you've got things sorted! Once you run out of jobs around the house & garden let us know, i'm sure we bloogers could come up with some for you - virtual or otherwise.

Caroline - sounds like you had a good do. Photos of cleavage via bluechip is so much more classy than photocopying bum.

Jollygit - did you say the earth moved for you? Or was it just your wind chiming?

Chrissie S - I think you have a lot of positive energy - you just haven't recognised that.

Sammie & DD - breakfast in the garden in PJs - it's heaven - I just soooo love doing that.

Lyndyloo - I e-mailed you at the address you gave last week re the new blogs you'd set up - but it didn't get through. I'm happy to take a look at them if you let me know how to find them.

Luv to all.

jollygit said...

EG - I couldn't possibly say!!!!!

Moose - please may I be excused from the blog today as I will be in deepest Surrey until 4pm? I do have a note from my mum.

The sun is shining, the wind has dropped and thankfully the wind chimes have calmed down, and I think - and hope - that the parrot has a sore throat, so should be peaceful here today ....... shame I won't be here to enjoy it!!!!!

Have a good day one and all and I'll pop in when I get home to see what you've all been up to!

I realise that my slightly changed schedule of posting has become confusing, so I'll try to remember to post a note on yesterday's blog when a new one is up.

A new one is up!
