Minor triumphs

Chameleons  

It had been yet another busy week, I had some minor triumphs at work late on Wednesday, and Thursday morning I was in a very good mood, and really looking forward to getting to Chams later that evening. Not that I don't always look forward to going, but I was really in the mood to go that day.

I had hunted for my outfit the previous night, rummaging through the piles on the floordrobe , and picked out a number of options. I went with Leather look leggings, a purple Darth Vader T-shirt, my biker boots, leather jacket and platinum blonde wig. I was really pleased with the look - I don't normally do leggings, or even jeans outside the house, as I fear bumps showing where there should be none. 

I think that side of things was OK, although the detail at the bottom of my shapewear did show though if you really looked.

It was a good night, we had marshmallows and hot chocolate, and Debbie had brought buns for her birthday, I ate two because I'm an Heffalump, and they are allowed two :)

Joanna seemed to be really happy, and seemed to be connecting will with a new person, swapping Youtube channel names they both seemed to mutually enjoy. It was nice to see, and hopefully they will be back.

The drive back was uneventful, I had charged at the church. I did a few photo's for Insta when I got home as didn't feel too tired.


The Weekend  

I had meant to be going for a drink with my brother on the Friday night, but he messaged to tell me he was ill.  I'm not sure if my mum has hinted to him, well it seems likely. I haven't told him yet, I wasn't in a rush to really. I think it will be a month before we get another night where we are both free.

I could have gone out to Wakefield, but didn't fancy it, so I stayed in.

Saturday morning I finally got my Morris Minor to the point where I could rope the wife into helping me bleed the brakes - I am putting a disc brake conversion kit on.  

It went well, and I did a 12 miles test drive in the afternoon, and it stopped when I pressed the peddle !! It's neen ages since I had been out in it. I did probably shorten myself by an inch going over a speed bump at 30 , the rear leaf springs are well past their prime, that's the next job.

In the evening I celebrated with a nice bottle of low alcohol red wine sourced from the co-op, it was lovely, then a bath with some candles and a bit of Amazon Music. 

Today I have done a spot of work, well just an hour. then I went for a 6km run. 

On my return I did some housework and put the slow cooker on - today's creation includes sprouts and PEK (which not many people seem to have heard of). 

I also saw these boots today that I totally should never buy, but I shall dream of owning :

This week is a 4 day one, with LFF on the Friday, bouncing to go on this again. Thursday will be Trans-Wakefield where there will be a talk about our leaders transition. It will be at the 'Our House' venue again. 

 

Addendum

Forgot to mention that my boss mentioned that my hair was longer every time he saw me when we had our weekly call. Wonder how much comment I will get at the big company wide meeting in the 2nd week of Feb !

  1. It seems Thursday at Chams seemed to work its magic for more than one person then! 🌟 It was good to see you and I thought your outfit looked fab. I didn't see anything -ahem- untoward, so there's that

    Congrats on getting the car going out and about. Oh and 500 quid for boots? By all that's fabulous, that's a price tag.

    1. Glad nothing untoward was seen :) , and thankyou on the car.

      The boots appear to be old ones, and quite in demand, I will have to choose something else to drool over that is cheaper.

  2. Yay! I missed this going live, so I apologise, but so glad you enjoyed Chams! I meant to say (and keep forgetting to) that your leggings looked fab! Certainly nowt there to draw the eye but how fab they looked. On the boots: I know exactly what you mean, mooned over my fair share of such things over the years! But, hey, keep an eye out for the sales!

    Glad you got partner aid with the car project, that there sounds like good shared time. I, too, am amazed by how few people have heard of Pek, used to have it with piccalilly or sandwich spread on sandwiches all the time as a child. Hmm, must get me some in, I think, though I seem to recall that it was a pretty pricey option when I went to University (hence why I stopped having it). Blooming tasty though.

    Also, an early yay for LFF and getting talks!

    1. You don't need to apologise ! Glad you liked the leggings, I may well be doing more of that look.

      Maybe I could do an Insta Ad campaign for it, I could be the new face of Pek !
