Serves me right of course, and I blame the red wine. One glass - I ask you, ONE GLASS last night and it's stuffed up my day today. No, before you ask the glass wasn't the size of a bucket, but it was a large one at 175 ml. I had a pint of iced water along with it too, but unfortunately it got a grip of me and I didn't get up until 10.30 today.
I had all manner of things planned too. Hoped to be up by 7-ish, washed and dressed, out to Morrisons for the weekly shop, visit daughter for a quick coffee and then do some gardening this afternoon. I had a mound of paperwork to wade through as well - pension stuff now I've retired. What did I do? Here's the list:
- Dossed around feeling rubbish
- Stared at the paperwork
- Did nothing about it
- Made a coffee
- Had breakfast
- Looked at the clock and decided it was too late to start much
- Answered phone to daughter
- "If you're coming round can you bring some milk?" Cheeky madam!
- Groaned
- Decided maybe I should get my backside in gear
- Went to post office and missed the post
- Groaned
- Got milk
- Went to daughters
- Made coffee
- She was banging about upstairs so I shouted up to ask what she was doing
- "Come up and see"
- I went upstairs only to have a paint brush shoved in my hand
- "Do us that door, will you?"
- Groaned
- Painted door with brush and mini gloss roller
- Coughed a lot
- Drank my cold coffee
- We both finished off and went downstairs
- Caught up with Coronation Street on her fancy telly
- Had another coffee (warm this time)
- Had her cat on my lap
- My jeans had a fur coat
- I went home
- Made a sandwich for Grumpy Trousers
- Went to Morrisons
- Groaned
- Saw old chum
- Had a natter with old chum
- Laughed with old chum
- Head cleared
- Felt better
- Went home and unpacked shopping
- Made a quiche from scratch
- Figured I'd done enough for one day
- Paperwork still there
- I'm still procrastinating as will be obvious from this posting!
......and I demand to know yours too. Go on, we've all got some. They don't have to revolve around sex and erotica do they? But even if they do, what does it matter?
Whoops, there I go again creating naughty keywords for my labels. Ok I confess, my curiosity is piqued. I'm dying to see what turns up as a result!
Anyway, back on track. Here's my list....
1. Red wine.
It's good for you in small quantities. I like to try it out twice to see if the first small quantity worked.
2. Chocolate.
But you know this already and it's probably on your own list. Dark chocolate is good for you in small quantities. I like to try it out twice to see if the first small quantity worked. I think I said that about red wine too. Well, you have to make sure.
3. Sleeping.
I shouldn't feel guilty about this, but I do. I can nap for England, sometimes three times a day. Grumpy Trousers must be so bored. It's no wonder he retreats into his man-cave!
4. BBC Radio 4.
No longer a guilty pleasure. Just a complete and utter pleasure. If you haven't indulged yet I suggest you tune in for their play and book readings. I've often sat in the supermarket car park listening to the end of something rivetting. Can't possibly go shopping until I know who's done it!
5. Burlesque.
I absolutely LOVE burlesque. Done properly it's not in the least but rude, but it IS cheeky and mischievous, not to mention hilarious. It's also beautiful, and very tasteful.
6. Guys with deep toned, posh voices
I have been known to fall apart at the seams, rendering me a gibbering wreck when in conversation with such a man. He ends up talking to himself!
7. Liam Neeson
He's tall, he's Irish. He's good looking. That's all.
8. Facebook and Twitter
I'm not addicted to FB or Twitter. I visit my own pages on there 2-3 times a week for catch-ups with chums etc. I like to take a look at my Penguins Waddle page most days though in case a follower has commented. They don't very often but I live in hope.
9. Buying music
I can't help it. I hear it, I like it, I have to have it. There and then. Thank goodness for Spotify, iTunes and Amazon.
10. Kindle books
Aside from my photography stuff, Kindle books are my biggest indulgence. As with buying music, I see an appealing ad for a Kindle book and it has to be bought there and then. I rarely buy expensive ones however. The prices I pay vary from £1.99 to absolutely free. I've had some brilliant books for those prices, but they are now stacking up in the Kindle. I need a nice long holiday to be able to catch up on the reading.
I have FAR more guilty pleasures than the ones I've mentioned. Maybe I'll list numbers 11-20 another time.
C'mon, off-load some of your own guilty pleasures here. There can't be just me, surely?
