today in a uncharacteristic moment of forward motion, i decided to walk to trader joe's. it looked cold outside, so i bundled up for safety in my thickest hoodie and jeans and set off. however... it wasn't actually very cold outside at all. it was actually 73 degrees :| i reached the store looking like a crispy worm baked to the sidewalk, perspiring like a pig... and who should i see? only Pedro fricking Hernandez the hottest checker on earth, that's who :| if you can imagine George Michael with fine latino blood coursing through his veins... the eyelashes... the stubble... the careless whispers :) he really really really should consider changing his name to 'Jorge Miguel' :)
hmm i am not sure if the little weather icon on my iphone is just designed to say '73 sunny' or if it just 73 and sunny here every single day regardless of what day it is and what month it is :| because it NEVER EVER changes.... and now i am checking it day and night to see if it will change :|
today i went to the library which reminded me - i hate the library. it totally sucks for soooo many reasons... firstly all the 'customers' in the library are creepy and odd and have beady eyes and three cornered faces. secondly to do anything you need to remember your PIN which is just plain impossible for me. thirdly i don't really read - apart from breaking showbiz news - so it's not really current enough for my requirements. and lastly - the staff are total asshat bullshit bonesmokers. there was a bucket of puppets in the playroom - my favorite room in the whole place, given that it has 20 foot floor-to-ceiling windows, zero furniture and is set away from the main library and the odd people with the beady eyes and the three cornered faces. i guessed the bucket of puppets was in there for kids to play with...? so i allowed the kids to play... not overly loud but at quiet/moderate 5 year old volume, and i of course, lay on the floor taking millions of pictures :)
this awful, a-w-f-u-l, a-w-f-u-l nazi woman who is the childrens library police came over like 4 times to look over her glasses, shake her head disapprovingly and tell them off for harassing others because their voices were 2 decibels over a soft whisper.
so i wrote a letter. oh yes i did... the week before my 'time of the month' :) after getting overheated this morning and getting a huge migraine from spending too long in the sun :) after 2 entire days of no chocolate :) i wrote a very mean letter to the person in charge of the entire county about her and how she is terrifying small children from wanting to ever pick up a book and how i demand her head on a stick by the end of the week. i felt better instantly! now i wait and see :) back tomorrow xoxoxox
ps a couple more beach pics:
What I read in November 2020

It’s almost the end of the year! The kids are going to be done with school
any day now, I am so excited. That means my book reading will go down
signific...
oh man...you almost make me want to walk down there to that Trader Joe's. oooo la la...but boy oh boy would I look a fright by the time I got there.
ReplyDeleteoh and that first beach shot. sunning. Could you tell me the meta data. did you tiltshift? I just love it. very cool.
oh and I emailed you earlier. No pressure, I'm just wondering if you got it, or if it went to some dude named frank who sits at home and picks his nose?
Great Beach pictures. When I saw Jorge Miguel, I thought you meant the dog whisperer. I don't even know his name. But as I was reading ahead of myself, I actually thought how amazing that you saw him at your local Trader Joes.
ReplyDeleteYou can take the girl out of Britain, but you can't take Britain out of the girl.
ReplyDeleteI love how when the English get really riled up they..... write a letter. So cute.
And the fact that you can say 'total asshat bullshit bonesmokers' but you can't say 'couch' or 'get'. Again, tres cute.
If I were American, i would 'heart' you. But I'm not, so you're 'good value' instead. Really good value.
