The young lad is five and a half and has started coming out with some really funny shit. Everyone in the last day or two is now called bro. Anything that happens or even just exists, "literally" happens or "literally" exists "bro"!

I collected him from school yesterday. It's not far from the gaff and it was nice out so I rambled up to get him. We detoured to the swings on the way back and then took the long walk home which includes a steep climb. We get to the top of the hill and are just around the corner from home and he goes "my legs are literally bored from waking,  bro". I nearly pissed myself.

A few minutes ago my wife was in the jacks with him and tells him to wipe his bum. I overhear him reply to her, "seriously, bro!"  :laugh:

Some craic.

Pancake. Lemon curd. Heaven.

Coming in to work on a Friday morning and booking a half day straight away to go play some drums for the afternoon as you couldn't be fucking arsed working any more this week.  :abbath:

Putting the hand in the pocket of last night's jeans for change and finding a joint in there with it. Don't think it's ever happened before though, so maybe it's not really a simple pleasure at all

I plugged in the guitar to record new stuff earlier. Total shit. Nothing of worth coming out at all and because I've so little spare time lately to record it felt incredibly depressing. I was really pissed off. I started cooking dinner and got a little idea in my head that stuck there throughout dinner so I plugged everything back in afterwards and ended up recording the bones of a song. Victory wrenched from the jaws of defeat  8)

Reluctantly had to go into work this morning, then got delayed there and all. But got home to a full Irish brunch with cuppa Barrys and a pint of Guinness. Bless her cotton calcetines!

I had the inspired idea to make Greek style lemon potatoes and they turned out so delicious I sense an obsession coming on. I'll go book a spot in the pet peeves thread for three months time.

I was home for the weekend and found some CD's I thought were lost or stolen, including Death Is This Communion and Murder Ballads. Happy days.

Getting a new tool for the shed (insert juvenile joke here)

Spring hitting with a bang today. Walked in and out of town earlier, it was lovely to be out in the sun with the birds chattering away. And just now I've my first bumblebee in the window.

A couple of months ago I came across a post looking for 'people with trade experience to work with a work wear brand'. I was like why not so I emailed and they got me in for a 'pre-fit' and just took 3 photos in work clothes, using an iPhone so didn't seem big budget stuff. I thought nothing of it and thought that was it. Then last week I got an email saying they they cast me and they're flying me on location for 6 days and covering all flights, hotel, food and on top of that paying me nearly 6 times my weekly wage for the week. Fucking mental. The whole thing seems surreal, I would have said it was a scam if I wasn't here right now. Can't really believe it, I'm far from a model and have never done anything like this,  thankfully I just have to act like I'm working and no Zoolander poses involved. Crazy though, still in disbelief  :laugh:
