Half a Saturday

A productive morning so far, and there is still half a day to go. I've done one load of laundry so far which was initiated by my desire to change the sheets on my bed. I also decided it was time to turn the mattress around, so I did that as well (damn it's heavy). I went through the pile of clothes in the corner to give to charity and managed to bag up four bags worth. I took two of the bags with me when I went out and put them in the charity clothes box by the recycling bins. I did all of this before my weekly sojourn to Broadway Market where I scoped out food for the party next Saturday. I had pie and mash for breakfast/lunch which I'd not had for a couple of weeks. There was a new stall of exotic mushrooms which looked promising for future cooking experiments. I also bumped into S and C and a friend of theirs on my way out of the market so had a quick chat.

I came home with challah and lots of berries. I have a plan to make challah french toast which is my favorite kind. And I'm debating making a berry tart this week. I also bought diced lamb and potatoes and carrots and I think I'll make a stew. Yummy things to look forward to.

So now I'm home for a few hours before S comes over and we head over to meet B to see the movie.

Yesterday I got a few texts from Mr.Aloof. Seems he's been in Italy with his kids. He's still busy, but it was nice to hear from him.

I'm looking forward to my party. I wasn't sure I was, but as it gets closer, I find I'm getting excited. When I had the party last year, I didn't really have any furniture as I had just moved into my flat. Now my little flat is packed full of stuff, at least I have a bunch of chairs now! I was thinking it will be funny to see who ends up finding the shelf and a half of erotica I have on the bookshelf. I've never believed in hiding the porn. I put it up on the top shelf, so that if a child were to come over, it wouldn't be accessible, but I don't feel the need to hide it under a bed or up in my bedroom. Anyway, there are too many books. I have always kept my erotica on the shelf, and on the shelf it will remain.

Once I caught someone at a party of mine standing in front of the shelf staring at it for a good ten minutes. Not taking anything down, but not looking at the spines of any of the other books either. I didn't call them out on it, but I did think it was funny. I'm sure it would have been much funnier had they opened any of them up and gleaned the topic of most of the stories.

Why do you keep the porn too high up for the kids to reach, Kay? Don't you believe in giving them an early and diverse education?

Think about the children, Kay, the children!
