They Say What They Say

I know a lot of people might consider this to be blasphemy, but thank god the weekend is over. I had the nephew's fifth birthday and as usual Saturday was spent in a flurry of preparing things, including the cake, and then came Sunday and the big day and while it was fun, it was also damn hard work. No wonder I fell asleep in my sister's bed at three in the afternoon.

However F's party was great and things did get off to a ripping start with the delivery of an early birthday gift of a copy of French Provincial Cooking by Elizabeth David from phoebesmum. Mmm, Gateau aux Chocolat et aux Amandes. Simply divine!

You must read this, it's just wonderful: Proved by Your Conviction, Supernatural gen by kroki_refur, rated PG-13. Sam Winchester walks out of Martin Wyatt’s classroom one day late in 1997 and never walks back in again. Except that's not entirely true.

I am currently driving my mum's big blue Magna Executive because I left Delia in the old home town for a service. The Magna is huge, much bigger than anything I'm used to driving. But that's not what I'm worried about. What I'm worried about is the inevitable phone call from the mechanic who will proceed to tell me that, to keep Delia going for another twelve months, I am going to have to get about $1000 worth of repairs. That's what I'm worried about. Therefore I am on a very lean budget this week. Very lean indeed with no room for extras. This week's gonna suck.

I really need to do my dishes. But what else is new?
