Even though the Big, Tiresome Work Project has come to an end (see last month's Rutherford post for slightly more details), I'm still finding it difficult to return to blogging. This is partly because something else has taken its place: the Allotment Drama! I won't go into all the whys and wherefores now otherwise I'll never finish this post, but I will do at some point soon because at least it'll give me something to blog about. Some of the other reasons are the same as in this post from a year ago except that I don't have any washing on the go and Ms Scarlet hasn't published a new post, although her current one says it's new..... Scratch that. In the time it's taken me to compose this, there is a new post!
Anyway, here are a very select few of some things that have been going on here recently:
Saturday 22 February: Sonic Shower Show Rutherford. Although number four in the series, this is the eighth Rutherford fantasy action figure I've created:
11:04 am, Sunday 16 March: I received this text message from my sister:
Yg----=----..-sD
Turns out my nephew had got hold of her phone and had sent it "on her behalf". Just to clarify, he's not a toddler - he's 7! He's perfectly capable of stringing some letters together to make actual words - sentences even - so gods know what's going on here?!
09:30ish, Thursday 20th March: "My" lifeguard instigated a conversation with me!
I had finished my swim and was putting my shoes on in the changing area foyer when he walked through having done his stint in the chair tower thingy. He said hello with that little smirk that makes me all hot and flustered and then complimented my swimming. He noticed me! HE NOTICED ME! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!! 😍💗💞💓 (Our "conversation" only revolved around swimming and only lasted a couple of minutes or so, but still.)
Today: I am now not far off my forties. Bah!
I will return later - although more likely tomorrow - to reply to comments in the previous post and to visit you all at your blogs (I have been visiting you all when time has allowed, but aside from a handful of comments, I've been mainly lurking).
Oh this post made me smile!! YOU HAVE BEEN NOTICED!!! And by someone who spends a lot of time almost naked!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the allotment drama - I hope a bathmat features?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
SXXXX
I had a swimming trunks malfunction a couple of days ago - fortunately My Lifeguard didn't see that!
DeleteI should get a bathmat for the allotment. After all, there are two baths up there...
Ooh, the lifeguard's on the prowl - there's some mouth-to-cock resuscitation around the corner, with any luck!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, dear! I got you a Dyck. Jx
I live in anticipation, Jon!
DeleteOh, and thank you for the Baroque sausage.
Happy birthday, Mr. DeVine! It's been a pleasure watching you grow up.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Very mistress! Although, I thought I'd plugged all the peep holes?
DeleteHappy Birthday! Congratulations on your swimming prowess and for bagging yourself a lifeguard.
ReplyDeleteIt was more of a sack than a bag. And he didn't half struggle in it, too - I had a hell of a job getting him in the boot of Car.
DeleteYes...a little bird told me it was your birthday! Happy Birthday Cutie!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd don't get discourage by Lifeguard.Yes, maybe your "conversation" only revolved around swimming and only lasted a couple of minutes or so, but I bet next time you'll be on your knees! Has he seen you in your square cut or is he blind???
Yes, he has seen me in my square cuts and is now blind!
DeleteA day late, but Happy Birthday, sweetpea!! *sigh* I remember my early forties and bemoaning the fact that a fifth decade was just around the corner!! But screw all of that, darling, YOU HAVE BEEN NOTICED!!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteExactly, Savvy. birthday, shmirthday - MY LIFEGUARD SPOKE TO ME!!!
DeleteI thought I'd already wished you a happy something-day? I'm so busy packing I get things muddled. Ooh...maybe I packed you into one of our "not needed in transit" boxes? You'd better activate the Magic Bathmat and escape...
ReplyDeleteI thought it was a bit more cardboardy & bubblewrappy than normal in here...
DeleteThirtysomething again ? Any way - I wish You all the best, dearest IDV.
ReplyDeleteYes, you'd think after 20 years of practice I'd be pretty good at being in my thirties by now...
DeleteWow, happy birthday! and WOW LIFEGUARDS! Here I am late as usual but no less sincere. My goodness, how you've grown! (said the lifeguard!!!)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ms Nations. I shall suggest a family-size changing cubicle when I next see My Lifeguard.
DeleteWow, I'm surprised Rutheford needed so much towel to cover-up! My, my. So happy you had a nice little chat with the lifeguard. May it lead to more! One has to start cautiously, especially when they are inclined to start something in their work environment. I think it's your turn next time to initiate the conversation to declare some mutualism in appreciation.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!!!! (Belated, but most sincere nonetheless!)
Rutherford's quite a big boy!
DeleteI did initiate the next conversation - but not in the way I'd hoped (as mentioned to Ms Scarlet upthread, a trunks malfunction was the instigator. I shall probably explain all in a future post because nothing else of any note has occurred. Fortunately.)
