Apple Apple Apple

This week I am making an effort to eat more fruit and stuff-- so on Monday I bought a bag of apples! Lovely...

I just ate the last one - which has meant I've eaten at least two a day! I'm feeling healthy and its done my constitution no end of good.
I also had a Banana yesterday so I'm definitely getting my 5 fruit and veg a day!

I've also eaten one and a half kit kats today oh and a double Decker! (probably shouldn't have mentioned that...)

any hoo, I better get some more fruit for tomorrow!

Would you like Fries with that?

Yesterday Jo and I decided to go out for lunch. I wont name the eating establishment we went to so lets just say it serves a lot of chicken and rhymes with Bando's

The main reason we chose to eat there was because Jo had one of these loyalty card things which meant we had a whole chicken for free - so it was a cheap way of eating out, just pay for the chips and drinks....

I went to the till to order....

So I asked if I could use the voucher and claim our free bird - which seemed to be fine.
I then added some chips and rice to the order.

Would you like a drink? - yes, a coke and a mango juice

ok that's £17 please, to which I replied, no its not (pointing to the loyalty thingy)
Oh oh yes sorry (bashing keys on the till) £6.50 please.

She then asks What drink did you want? A coke and a mango juice!
(hands me a glass and a bottle of mango juice) - Do you want a glass for the juice? Yes please i reply.
She then tries to hand me a wine glass which she promptly drops onto the counter, it rolls towards me and i catch it as it drops off of my side of the counter!

So after that i paid the bill - as she handed me my card and receipt she says "have you been to *****'s before?"
(it was at this point i could feel a Basil Fawlty style outburst rising up inside me...)

BEEN HERE BEFORE...?!
Of course I've been here before, my wife and i had to eat about 15 meals to get to the point where you would give us a free chicken - or did i miss the part where you started handing out free meals to new customers!!
(Was the reply in my head)

i just smiled and said "yes", and took my receipt, card and glasses (not forgetting the bottle of mango juice) and went to my table.

The food was fantastic!

cheers,

Long Distance Clara

Hello one and all - sorry its been a while since I last blogged.

A couple of weeks ago I had an event to do (for those who don't know, I'm a production engineer so spend a lot of my working life doing events)

On this particular event I had to drive the van, it was a fairly long journey 300 mile round trip. Couldn't help feeling a bit like Long distance Clara, sitting high up in a van! Good fun (and the event went quite well too)

Anyone else want to admit to liking Pigeon Street?

Round The Twist

I don't know if you do this but I am always doing something along these lines....

I am always in a bit of a daze in the mornings, never quite sure what I'm doing - I'm surprised that I make it to work some days!

when I get in the shower I often get things mixed up - not thinking, I often put shampoo on my body and shower gel in my hair! And I never realise till its too late and stand there feeling a little silly.

the other morning I took it to a new level...

after my shower I went to brush my teeth, I grabbed my tooth brush and instead of going for the tooth paste I squirted some of the hand wash soap in the general direction of the bristles! Luckily I realised before it was too late. It could have been horrible!

this may go some way to explaining why I don't use hair products - there would be potential for disaster every morning!

Where have all my Jumpers gone...?

I can only find one jumper to wear - all (and i mean all) of my other ones have gone missing, i dont know where they are!

if anyone has them, or knows the where abouts of them, please let me know.

Thank you
