Post something good that happened today, Parts Two

[rock hound]

Had my Doctor's appt., got my prescriptions refilled, all lab tests were normal, heart and lungs in great shape.  Finished some errands and bought some comfort foods.  Cooked some Spanish Rice and shrimp for dinner and enjoyed by Carla and Amber.  Weather very warm, with comfortable humidity.  Busy day, but, stuff got done!

In future, cook the prawns in fish oil.

Coffee.

Finally, finished some odd jobs that were bugging me to get them done.  And it was a hot, but, sunny day, but, I didn't mind doing them as my pint of Ben and Jerry's Vanilla Ice Cream is awaiting it as a treat for getting things done.  YUM

[Pyraxis]

The first evening in ages that I don't have anything to do that can't be put off until the next day.

 Yayyy! enjoy it  you richly deserve it.
yes, you do.

[Tequila]

My morning cup of coffee. Only instant but it will do for now.

You mean we might actually get a little new blood??

Sit on my finger, sing in my ear, O littleblood.

(here's the poem:https://ordinary-times.com/2010/09/26/a-poem-for-sunday-8/ )
aaaand...
we have a new member called Littlefinger

The significance of all the above?
Oh! Just that Walkie likes poetic resonance.

I have no idea who the heck this littlefinger actually is.

[Pyraxis]

Neither do I.  But I'm not opposed to poetic resonance.

Got any poems that will encourage them to post?

Hmm. We could try "This be the Verse" by Philip Larkin
Or "Jabberwocky" by Lewis Carrol
For some reason (Well. the reason's pretty obvious in the former case  . It's the one that begins They fuck you up, your Mum and Dad..." ) Those two poems  really appeal to Spazzes , even to the point that at least  half of the spazzes whom  I've met in my lifetime know one or the other (or even both)  by heart . Seriously . (Guess which category i come into?  )

Or we could try something like :

There was an old autie called Odeon
Who thought he might like a commodium
But his plans turned to crap
When a spazzer  called Scrap
said , I thought that you meant a commode, Ian.

(real name disguised, cos it doesn't rhyme)

   or maybe not.

Enjoy.

Six of us played Fantasy AGE, a tabletop game similar to Dungeons and Dragons but more relaxed. I'm the only human. I play a guy named Marric whose main aim is to buy a boat. It's become a bit of humour among us.

We had lunch as well. I got to take vegan apple pies home.

[Walkie]

went out for lunch to commemorate the first anniversary of my Ex's death. Son couldn't be there (on holiday in Cornwall, ATM) 'so it was just me, Exs last partner , Ex's daughter and her partner.  Sounds ghastly, put like that,  doesn;'t it? but they are all really nice people with a quirky outlook on life,  whom i've very much come to regard as family and it great to get together with them. As things turned outm, the place we were going to eat at was closing two hours early today, so we went somewhere else instead, and - predictably- i just had to sip pineapple juice whilst  watching them eat, cos my diet is pretty much impossible these days.  NP, I'd purposely had a late breakfast, and my ex-stepdaughter (for want of better title) let me nick some steamed carrot (the only thing on offer that  I could actually eat) off her plate, We talked and talked and laughed and laughed , and when they dropped me off at my door it was nearly 7,00 pm, Couldn;t believe how the time had flown.   A really pleasant afternoon.
