Vagueness and the Aftermath - A sporadic diary

Is this the same as MelissaChloe from off of the Shoe Porn Thread?

I'm trying to convince her to buy these:

Red shoes and a bee outfit would clash terribly.

Good point, Machka.

Mrs Red buys a selection of soups that I like, plus a can of minestrone.

I don't like minestrone.

Eventually, we run out of the soup that I like. Invariably this is when Mrs Red isn't here. (I eat a lot of soup when Mrs Red isn't here because it's quick and convenient.)

I am forced to eat the minestrone.

The next time she goes shopping she buys it again.

I tell her I don't like it.

She says' "Well you always eat it."

So, after rooting around in the cupboard for 20 minutes, I came to the realisation that today was minestrone day. As I looked at the can I wondered, Just what the hell is minestrone anyway?

I couldn't see the ingredients list without my glasses, and I couldn't find them. (I lose my glasses 100 times a day.)

I put the soup down to look for my glasses. I eventually found them. they were in the bathroom on top of the face towels because I've been reading in the loo again.

Now I can't remember where I put the soup.

Isn't ageing great fun?  It's a constant cycle of playing excellent games and solving puzzles.  I spy, scavenger hunts, name that food, 100 metre dash (to the loo)...

I can't remember names. I'm getting quite worried about it now.

Last week one of the dealers at DTD came to my table and I said "Hi Amy".

We chatted for a while and then she was pushed. "She's a nice girl" I said to the new dealer.

"Who?" he asked, and I couldn't remember her name, even though I knew I'd just said it a few minutes ago.

I resisted the urge to go and look at her name badge, but after an hour or so I gave in, but by that time she'd left.

It finally came back to me two days later.

That's not an isolated indecent, it happens all the time.

On the bright side, I've just found the minestrone.

No wonder minestrone is so horrible, no one knows (Or cares apparently) what's in it.

Witness this extract from Wiki


There is no set recipe for minestrone, since it is usually made out of whatever vegetables are in season. It can be vegetarian, contain meat, or contain a meat-based broth....

Tony is in Vegas getting fatter, I'm at home getting thinner.

We are on course to pass each other going in different directions.

I predict that we will briefly weigh the same today at 18:45 BST.

Pan heads in a threshold.....

OK. I give up.

What is it?

[RED-DOG]

Pan heads in a threshold.....

Standard.

No room to countersink.

Soup.

Was also trying to find a link for the Dinnerladies minestrone moment. Something like...

Brenda: What's soup o't' Day, Twink?
Twinkle: Minestrone
Brenda: Well why isn't it on't board?
Twinkle: Can't spell it


Was funnier played out, promise.

Too late.

I bet I've put on two stones since my diet ended, which was less than 2 months ago.

Nightmare.

New crash diet commences soon, will have to lose 2 stone. Again.

Will you ever learn?

Standard.

No room to countersink.

You can get a 12 to sit flush in a 3mm thick extruded angle, lay it in place and countersink so the floor takes some of the screws chamfer.
