Hiiii everybody! (in the voice of Dr Nick Riviera).
It's fr-i-i-day!
Spring Break WOO!
SO tomorrow faithful followers, I am off to Poundbury, in Dorchester, the model village of Lord Sir Prince Charles(look it up if you don't believe me), to stay with my Grandmama. There I shall be indulging in the following activities (in order of frequency):
*Going to Poundbury Garden Centre
*Going to Waitrose (it's the main supermarket in Dorchester-! I KNow!)
*Watching telly
*Going to The Octagon, it's the cafe in Poundbury, my dad goes there for bacon sandwiches, it's also where my uncle Tim can usually be found, he stops off there between jobs (he's a cabbie- purveyor of 'Hackney Harries' cabs!) and his wife Anita, she takes photos for the Dorset Echo, if anyone watched the programme last night about the ex-Wooolworth's manager in Dorchester who's turned Woolies into a new shop 'Well-worth's', you may have seen Anita on it. But you wouldn't have cause you don't know who she is, but she was on it. I saw her.
* This leads me to my next activity-Visiting 'Well-worth's' and trying to spot the people off the programme! It was a BRILL programme, although, maybe only if you know Dorchester and how mental it is there! It was probably the funniest thing i've seen in years! Mainly to see how they behave cause the camera is on them, the Town Crier was the funniest! I don't know who pays him, no one i think, we always always see him everywhere in Dorchester, outside a sandwich shop, wandering about, whatever, ringing his bell and shouting, on this he kept turning up and playing up to the camera SO much!! "Hello, hello, I'm here to lend a hand, what can I do?" the whole time looking at the camera from the corner of his eye, and making his way into every single shot, even when Chris Evans is there opening the shop his face is obscured by the point of the Town Crier's hat!! hahahahaaaa!!
* We always stop off to have a laugh at our favourite tea shop, it's very 70's and on the front it says "Even Thomas Hardy would be delighted!" I'm laughing out loud now just from thinking about it! I'll upload a photo for your enjoyment. Talk about any way to try and use the name of the only famous person from Dorchester! Thomas Hardy would have been delighted by a cheese and pickle toastie! We're sure of it!
* Going to Goulds, the old ladies shop in town, it always has cheap bras.
* Charity shops, it's cynical, but where there be lots of old people, there be well-stocked charity shops.
* I also intend to drink a moderate amount. I haven't had a drink for a long time, as my grandma always says, gin is a good clean drink. So i will drink lots of gin.
So that's it i reckon...no blog for a while my friends. I just learned that I have to work on Easter Monday for literally no reason whatsoever. Also, there's a new signing-in system cause people have been being too liberal with their hours (I can't imagine who? certainly not me Mrs) so all of my plans about nipping in and out and calling it a day's work have been dashed right in front of my stupid face. >:(
It's so weird how very quickly my life has become void of booze and of social activity. I can't drink if I have to go to work, it can not be done. Also, everyone's up and bloody left me. I do miss doing the quiz. And I miss boozeday Tuesday, but then maybe I just miss being a student (I do) cause I still have no money ever, which is confusing to e and all around me, at least there was time for cooking and for making fudge and for going for a pint at half midnight in the student days...I don't miss the booze, but I miss the mayhem.
Cripes it'll be nice to get away from work, this place is unbelievable, someone just got fired today for swearing at a student, they can swear as much as they like at us, with no consequences whatsoever. everyone's on the verge of a nervous breakdown, it can't last forever...
Anyways, off I pop, have a sweet easter. I'll be writing to you from my desk at 9 am on Easter Monday. From the only job in the world where you get no extra pay to work bank holidays.
I'm gonna suck in as much countryside as i can for 4 days until i'm literally saturated with it, i'm gonna stick my face into the grass and rub mud into my eyes and breathe in sea air until my lungs are all salty fresh and my brain is wiped clean for a few days.
