Goldfish

01 August, 2013

My housemates have gone on holiday for a few weeks, which means I've become a goldfish carer!

To show how seriously I'm taking it I've added "Feed goldfish" to my Google calendar alerts, and the fish food is on top of the microwave in the kitchen, a spot I walk past whenever I go in the kitchen, so even if Google fails me hopefully this won't.

Except the goldfish isn't gold, he's blue. Does that make him a blue goldfish? A bluefish? A sapphirefish?

Have a nice evening everyone!

The Flying Sock

10 January, 2012

Just before last Easter I packed up most of my life (about 20% of it stayed in the old stables at my parent's home) and moved to south west London. I rent a small room in a small flat. There's a small kitchen, a small bathroom, no living room because it's used as a storage room instead, and three housemates in two other bedrooms. It's actually quite nice, I have my own space (which I love) but if I need company there's generally always someone in the kitchen I can talk to.

It also means that things can't go missing in the flat. It's too small for you to lose something (although I do occasionally misplace one of my QPR mugs at the back of a cupboard). Sooner or later something will be found. And in my case I'm constantly losing track of my socks. It's rather embarrassing actually, I rarely wear matching socks simply because the other half of a pair will wander off somewhere (generally to the bottom of my laundry basket).

This evening this happened;

Housemate Mon- Biiiiibliophile?
Me- Yeeeeees?

Suddenly it came through my open door, flying through the air with all the grace and aerodynamics of something foot-shaped made of cotton and elastic. It hit the floor like a the lightest potato known to man, and sat there accusingly as if to say "why did you leave me in the storage room? Aren't I good enough for your feet?"

Housemate Mon- Hehehehehe.
