IT'S ALL GO UP HERE

*AN UPDATE*

New posts from your favourite Curmudgeons coming soon.

In the meantime I'll tell you about my day so far.
It's a beautiful day here despite the weather warnings of rain and wind which haven't come so far.
I recently rejoined the golf club so took off to play this morning to test out my knee. It all went well and I played some great golf which was good since I hadn't played for over a year.


It was hot though so I'll go first thing in the morning or in the late afternoon in future.

I'm going to take a load of garden rubbish to the tip this afternoon and then go for a swim.

How's your day shaping up?

Look I'm sorry but this is more of a filler than a post.
I don't think that the comment "How's your day going?" is really going to entice people to leave lots of long comments like,
"Hey, thanks for asking. I went shopping this morning after I'd renailed a board on the house that had come loose. Gosh, doesn't the washing take a fair amount of time out of the day! I'm meeting my daughter a little later this afternoon so I took time to prepare dinner for my wife who doesn't get home until about 6pm. It's a lamb casserole with Indian spices and lots of veges. I have a nice crispy lettice in the fridge that my wife can use to make a salad, if she is home first. My daughter lives in Lyall Bay so it'll be quite a long drive home for me, and there's the Wellington traffic to contend with. Boy, will I be ready for a Chardie when I finally get home! I filled the car up with petrol today. I normally check the oil too but I knew it would be fine because I checked it not long ago. As I write, the last of the clothes drying is nearly done. I put the towels and one of my wife's dresses on the line and used the dryer for the smaller things. The towels didn't dry completely, even though it was very windy. I'm finishing them off in the dryer. Hey, The Curmudgeon, thanks for showing an interest in my day."

Yes, that's more like it - an informative comment.
Well done but please watch your spelling of salad vegetables in future.

Hey thanks for asking. My conscious day started at 5 am when I awoke and regained awareness of this temporary world. By 6am I was working dutifully in a place that produces dangerous micro organisms. At 9.15 I visited my doctor asking her to look in to my chest infection.
At 9.45 I had a blood test. At 10.10 I took my prescription for Amoxicillin to the chemist.
I spent all day with Helen who job shares and gets half the income. I asked her why she thought there were ten commandments when the bible does not number them. She proceeded to hold her cell phone to my ear as I drove with a spoken voice attempting to answer me.
I managed to ask a few pertinent questions in between recordings.
I dropped her off and picked up my medicine buying lamb chops and beer at Supervalue.

Thanks Second.
Hey, this is good with these expanded and interesting comments coming in.
I think that both Richard and Robert should delete their blogs and just comment on THE CURMUDGEONS INC. posts.
It would cut to the chase since THE CURMUDGEONS INC. posts. are undoubtedly preferred by the casual readers out there who don't comment.

THE CURMUDGEON said...

In the interest of Health and safety though Second I must point out that having someone press a cellphone to your ear while you are driving is a potential danger and must be discouraged.

THE CURMUDGEON said...

Just a quick note about Amoxicillin. It can cause skin rash and swollen, black, or "hairy" tongue.
Be careful and tell your wife, should these symptoms manifest themselves, that it's the medication and you have NOT turned into some sort of devil.

Thank you Anonymous (whoever you are).
It was good to receive you comment although, to be honest I gave up reading after the tenth 'the'.
Maybe you should consider creating a blog where you can post your raving ..... your individual-style comments to a wider (and far away) audience. Maybe Robert The Whore would consider hosting you.

Richard (of RBB) said...

Come on TC! That's not very welcoming of people with writing impediments!
Shame on you!
The The The Guy, you're always welcome over on Richard's Bass Bag.*

Move aside stutterer! I've had a shit of a day!
Everyone is asking me about The Whore of Babylon and if my church is involved.
Fuck off!
I call the bloody shots with my Catholic church, not some whore. I blame that guy Robert for employing (sorry, job sharing with) these people with tiny brains.
Robert needs to buck up his ideas, and think about who he lets into his work car.
Look, we've got the priest thing well under control now. The brothers will take a bit longer, but that's brothers.
I'm off for a chardie. Catch you all at mass.
At least that's a chance for you all to adore me.

WHY'D YA DO IT?

Old Tom said...

Glad you had your swim after, not during, golf this time. Are you still playing with other people’s balls?

THE CURMUDGEON said...

Well, in the sense that I never buy a golf ball and only use ones I've found then I guess, yes.
