Silly goings-on of various kinds!
Had a quiet morning today and then, after lunch, popped out to do various things. First, went into Tim's work to pick up his wages (actually, FIRST, we got stuck in a quite alarming traffic jam near Bournemouth Airport!) - nothing interesting to see there (work) .... not that I thought there would be!
Next, we drove the short distance into Christchurch town centre and went for a walk along the river and fed the ducks. We also wanted to collect some river water in a jam jar for an ecosystems experiment Rosie is doing (as part of her ecosystems lapbook). In the end, I sent Tim off to do this because his arms are longer than mine and it was a bit of a stretch down into the water! Annoyingly he didn't fall in, in an amusing comedy fashion (oh, how we would have laughed!) and came back with a jar of what looked exactly like tap water - it was so clear! I'm not sure our experiment is going to work with it so we may have to go elsewhere for some slightly more inhabited pond water or something.
Anyway, after hoping my poor husband would fall into the water and give me a laugh, I was duly punished by falling down the steps leading from the ruined tower and promptly making a complete arse of myself *rolls eyes*. Note to self: don't "will" silly things to happen to Tim again! I'm going to blame the fact that I was wearing my high heeled boots (my favourite knee high boots!) for the first time since last winter and I've been wearing flat sandals all summer. Wasn't used to the heels .... ;)
Next stop after that was Sainsbury's at Castlepoint however, so bad was the traffic that we had to take a ridiculous route to get there and it took AGES! We eventually pulled into the car park and were listening to the radio and Tim (for some reason that I can't remember now) decided that the next song after the one we were listening to would be a Chas and Dave one. WHAT?! Chas and Dave! What on earth was he thinking?! Anyway, so there we were sat in the car for EVER while we waited for the song plus a load of adverts to finish so that he could find out if he was right.
He was wrong - it was Marillion. What can I say? His psychic powers were clearly having a day off.
Chas and Dave! .... I ask you!!!
PS - having just typed that last sentence, I can't help thinking what a WEIRD thing it is to say! "I ask you" ..... I mean, it's something people say without thinking about it but when you actually type it, it seems odd! I ask you what exactly? *laughs* What a strange mistress the English language is!
