A little while ago, I wrote a post called Sometimes I Think Too Much about a girl who was new in the area and has asked me to go for a drink, in a best-friend-date type of way. Some of you asked about how it had gone.
So here's the story. The next time she came in, she mentioned needing a job, I said we had one. Two and two were put together and they equalled my new potential best friend and I working together. It was all ok for a few weeks. Then she got another job and left. And that was that really. Done.
Clearly I gave it way more thought than it warranted when she asked me out for a drink.
The second thing is that the local drunk who featured in "Are these donuts?" recently took a picture to a gallery nearby to have it reframed. It has been reframed now and, as the owner of the gallery is a friend and has a bad shoulder at the moment, he has asked me to help him go to Mr Red Wine's flat and help him reframe it.
That's right. I get to go INSIDE Mr Red Wine's flat! I am beyond excited. I imagine it'll be like one of those programmes called Grime Fighters or something, where cleaning companies go into old flats which are full of crap and pizza boxes with mould growing on them and rats running around.
My gallery owner friend has pre warned me that we will have to stand on Mr Red Wine's bed to hang the picture and that it is alive with bed bugs. He also said I shouldn't worry about just standing on stuff as I walk in the flat as there is no free floor space anyway.
It is going to be mental, I can tell.
Also, a few days ago, whilst at work, I was leaning over a bowl of soup to get something and there was a ladle in it with a hook on the end, for hanging it up with. Somehow the ladle hook caught on my apron and as I stood back up, I pulled the ladle with me, which was full of soup, and scooped it onto myself. It went all down my front and onto my Crocs and in the little holes and into my feet. Niiiiice.
I just thought you might like that little story.
