Uncouth
The only place that you will ever find the unwashed buggy pushing teenagers and foreign students together - Lidl. Bought more than I could carry for seven of the Queen's pounds, and made a dash for my safety locked car. Head back home, and procrastinate over cleaning the flat.
Then RV calls - just to say she's arriving back TODAY. Fear of reprisal - for degenerating the flat to squalor - spawned a new motivation to clean. Two hours later, a new flat. Cooked. RA shows up, sober. As I started to eat, RA pointed out what makes me more uncouth than your average uncultured troglodyte - tables, chairs, cutlery and even plates are passed in favour of eating standing up, straight out of the pot, in the kitchen, with a ladle. "We have a table, perhaps you should use it". I did. And I ate slowly. An altogether foreign surreal experience, and almost worthy of repetition.
Went to see the parliament building this morning. Feels like 'Nam with all that bamboo. Glad it was free. Sorta. THIRTY OF MY POUNDS are now going towards a parking fine, for leaving a car on a single yellow during a bank holiday. Grrrrrr.
