"Do you want fries with that ...?"

Out and about over the weekend, and as it was lunchtime we swung by the drive-thru McDonalds. Now there is a preconception about those who work in McDonalds, implying that they're not quite all there and can't get a job elsewhere - unfortunately the feller who served us yesterday lived up to the preconception.

Charlotte doesn't like the onions, gerkin or mustard on her cheeseburger so I ordered a plain cheeseburger for her, but was asked if I wanted the cheese on that ... Surely if I didn't want the cheese on the plain cheeseburger, then it's a hamburger?

Other than that not a lot else. I washed the hall carpet yesteday, and got a perverse satisfaction when the black mark by the kitchen door went ... I also did a spot of weeding over the weekend, having realised the bush outside the study window wasn't actually a bush, but a weed of gigantic proportions! Our little vegetable patch is growing quite nicely, and we all got excited when we spotted some strawberries coming through.

Last week at work until holiday - I set up the weather setting on my iPod set to Ayia Napa, and give frequent updates to all concerned as to what it's like over there - Currently it's 91 degrees, which is 35 more than it is here. I did go swimming shorts shopping on Saturday, and had to take my chosen purchases back on Sunday as they were too big. The ones I have now fit nicely, but unfortunately my belly hangs over the waistband .. I'm of the opinion that I'd rather my belly hung over the top, than my shorts fall down whenever I launch myself out of the pool ... And I'm sure the other people in the pool will agree.

I also have this wednesday off as Charlotte's class are off to Walton for the day, I'm police-checked due to my PTA role, so am going along as an adult helper. I gave Bethany the choice of me going on her class trip, or taking off the non-pupil day 2 days later and us all go to the Tower of London. Tower of London won.

Right, now to cram 3 weeks work into 4 days ... I better get a coffee.
