Tuesday, October 06, 2009IF IT WASN'T FOR THE BLUE...................Today has - so far - been one of those days when I've wondered if the gawds aren't conspiring to piss on my battery until it just short circuits & fizzles out in a heap. Yesterday, I did all the housework, including washing & ironing, as I wanted today nice & clear, to do a bit of retail therapy. Over the past few days I've been jotting down all the things I need - things ranging from plants & flowerpots to iced tea & streaky bacon. After a quick tidy up this morning, I had a shower & got dressed. Now, last week, I bought myself a blue blouse - nothing exciting about that really, although I must admit I was surprised to find clothing in my size in the Last Outpost, which wasn't khaki in colour *coff*. So this morning, I decided to wear my new blue blouse. I haven't worn this particular colour for I don't know how many years, although I do have a Harley T-shirt in a similar shade, but that's different innit! I put the smashed picture frames in the car, in order to get the glass replaced, armed myself with my shopping list & my freebie Gulf News eco-friendly shopping bags. (They don't arf come in handy!) My first port of call was the bank, to collect a cheque book & credit card. The cheque book was ready, but no sign of the credit card. I've been waiting a month now & I think the nice lady at the bank is as pissed off as me. *sigh* The main road through the Last Khaki Outpost is receiving treatment of some kind. This involves a heap of labourers standing around picking their noses & flicking the snollies away as they direct the traffic. I couldn't actually see why there was a diversion, but there was & I didn't complain, as it took me to right next to the nursery. I know what I want & the nursery didn't have it. They had infinite amounts of big green leafy things, but no pyrostegia venusta or petunia seedlings. The choice of flowerpots was pathetic, so I was doubly disappointed. **double sigh** Next stop on my list of things to do was go to the post box & collect mail.........which involved disposing of numerous bills/accounts of 3 previous tenants. Not my problem. Next up was buying a lamp for the living room, plus a bedside lamp for the guest bedroom. I couldn't get what I wanted, so I ended up settling for the next best thing. *next sigh* OK, onto the next item - take broken pictures/frames to shop nearby that advertises 'Picture Framing Done Here'. I get there & it's a FastFoto shop. What they knew about framing was dangerous. Fuck it! Now I'm getting seriously pissed off I can tell you! I headed off into the Pick 'n Pay supermarket to do a spot of grocery shopping. The useless fuckin' shop was only just starting to re-stock shelves & fridges from the weekend & much of what I wanted was still lurking in storerooms. Bollocks!  By the time I got out of the supermarket, I was well pissed off & had simply had enough. I came home, had a bottle of 'Cranberry & Apple Sparkling Flavoured Kwench', sucked my dentures back in & thought buggrit, I ain't going out again. Knowing my luck I'd get a friggin puncture! And, the icing on the cake: whilst shopping, I never heard my cell phone ring (well, it was in the depths of my handbag!) & I missed 3 calls - one of which was from a good friend in Abu Dhabi. ***sigh so big I've got palpitations*** If wearing a blue blouse means having to put up with so much soddin' grief, the bloody thing is gonna get chucked up the back of the wardrobe! BUT I am still smiling :-D Labels: Ellisras turned blue., Nedbank is useless
