Four mopey girls, one harassed bloke and an ironing board

[whotheheckami]

Last night was an evening of domestic chores prior to me heading to Haarlem later today and Mendi preparing for the arrival of her parents who will be looking after Alexi and Ivan whilst Mendi joins me in Haarlem for Bridget-Jones-esque City Break.

I arrived home to be confronted with the challenge of emptying, defrosting and sorting out the contents of our two freezers – joy. This took me nearly 2 hours and involved much head scratching as I discovered packages of unidentifiable “stuff”. Alexi and Ivan were happy because they were able to have a snowball fight with snow they saved from the winter.

Pixie and Daemongirl arrived during this excitement and proceeded to be depressed and mopey. I struggled on and completed cleaning the freezers and then got dinner ready for us all. At this point another mopey woman arrived in the form of Kanga who went with Mendi to walk Maggie (she wasn’t mopey). This left Pixie, Daemongirl and me to climb the ironing mountain and work through countless shirts etc. Kanga must have had an effect on Mendi because it was a mopey Mendi that came home to help finish the ironing.

Bed and sleep were a blessed relief.

Oh yes and they were all listening to Gabrielle which got them even mopier, especially, "Out of Reach"

I can think of other places I'd prefer to go than down the pub, but the drive's a bit of drag ;@)

On a more serious note...I don't really have any male mates to go down the pub with. chaoshedgerow is either too far away or too busy.

Interesting; actually (and I hope you take this as a compliment as it was intended) my statement was designed to provoke a response.

I would have said you are quite the feminine type so I could well believe that being the case. I'm very much the same, but some laddish behaviour is not unknown ;)
