Laxie Goes Primetime

[gatso]

obv if you have to have it then it should go in the cupboard however let's be honest, it's filth and really belongs in the bin

if your food tastes that bad that you have to disguise the taste with ketchup then your time would be better spent learning how to cook than worrying about where to store it

Show me a meal without tomato sauce and i will show you a shit meal.

Tomato sauce on everything apart from Indian food and Sunday dinners. Simples.

Now then...where were we? 

For a start - Jack and I are still going strong in Leicester.  Despite all the DIY the poor man has been subjected to since I arrived, he's not given me the road.  To be fair, I think he was more concerned about my giving up the smokes.  He was a bit worried I'd turn into a cranky psycho.  Come to think of it, maybe that's why he's been so good about the DIY.  Fear of my 'snap' potential.   

But four weeks on without the ciggies, I haven't snapped and it's safe to say there's no fear of it now.  Well and truly happy.  Who woulda thunk it?

Jack's sister Sue has been a great help with garden ideas and other stuff.  She's told me from the start to feel free to call over any time for a cuppa or whatever, but I've been 'woman on a mission' getting things done around the house.  Plus, I've still not figured out where she lives...despite it being just around the corner.  Sense of direction by me is pure and utter rubbish.  Luckily she calls over here now and then or we'd never have that cuppa.

Would be grand if it were straight forward getting around but there isn't just one way to get from A to B.  Jack's shown me every fecking way, besides sticking to just one.  Reckon it'll take another 6 months before I have a clue where I am or how to get where I want to go.  Good job I've lots to do around the house.  Keeps me busy until I figure out the area.  For a small place, it sure is big here.

I've met the Cat Lady properly now!     But it wasn't loud music that broke the ice...it was washing up what did it.

We've a new power washer thanks to a late night fit of shopping madness Jack suffered a few weeks back.  I'd been itching to use it in the yard but had to wait until we got the proper attachment parts to do the job.  Once those were got, there was no stopping me. 

While I was at it, Cat Lady walked past.  I thought, "Marv.  She's going to give out to me now for starting this job so early in the day."  But she didn't.  Instead I was asked if I'd moved in and if so, she'd like to say "howdy neighbour" and introduce herself.  So now we're on a first name basis and I've this odd desire to keep the music down to a more respectable level so as not to upset her...or her cats.  Only a matter of time before I get to know a few more neighbours around here and then we can start organising the summer block parties.  Poor Jack.  He had such a peaceful life pre Laxie.

Ireland.  [ ] That was an easy trip to make. 

One jumbo size edit and delete later.  Went about doing the Ireland post, but that's going to take a bit of time and thought before I go at it.  Leave it with me and we'll get back to ya.

'Upcoming stuff' is an easy peasy post to do but I've to get meself together around here before we head out this evening.  So you'll have to wait for that one too. 

In the meantime, settle a debate for me...

Door handles - which way is correct?

A)  matching handles on each side of door

or

B)  different handles on either side to coordinate with décor?

I agree.  Pity Jack doesn't.   

[gatso]

what sort of a loon would have different handles on the same door?

I think you've saved him just in time.
