I know it’s immature of me, but I still can’t read the name Sean Bean correctly. #randomToot
In the news: Germany is going downhill.
Me having to work with the German sister company: I can see why, really. Not surprised at all.
I think the Pearl Fisher's duet has to be my favourite operatic duet.
Him: Do you want crisps?
Me: Mmyea
Him: You don't have to...
Me: mmm
Him: So do you want some crisps?
Me: Yeah
Him: Are you certain?
Me: Mmmno?
Him: *Sigh* *EyeRoll*
Me: But I am never certain...
The conversations in this house are just priceless

England's folks..... is anyone getting a post delivery on a Saturday these days? We haven't had one for yonks.

Dear Dutch people, please vocalize! Dutch not being my first (or second) langauge, I have a frigging hard time understanding you.
Even worse if it's on the phone, and I can't read lips (I mean, not like it's easy because you don't frigging vocalize, but I can only try) & there is plenty of background noise.

I might or might have not cancelled someone's birthday dinner reservation for 8 in portland tonight. Because that person keeps using my frigging email to sign up for stuff or book stuff or have people send her stuff
In the "things that needed to happen but not necessarily during vacation": the oven is clean now. Thank you Ikea for selling ovens that have removable doors, with removable glas panes, and easy to remove rack/tray holders. And an easy to replace bulb.

Even being flexible enough to reach properly, I still suck at painting my toe nails.

Three bands I never thought I'd ever get to see live... #SkunkAnansie, #Garbage and #DeadOrAlive (I miss you so much Pete)..... could #FrankieGoesToHollywood be the next I wonder? Pending reception of the temporarily re-formed band for the #EurovisionSongContest. Have to say that both Skunk Anansie & Garbage have never been stronger, both are AMAZING live.

Someone at skoda decided that the cup holders should not be able to fit anything beyond a (throw away) plastic bottle or a tin.
So my reusable water bottle, my take away insulated mug, even my mints don't fit in any single of the weirdly cut cup holders.

Random thoughts / rants:
- Why does everything need to be a video now? I don't want to listen to you babbling for 15 minutes when I could quickly scan a page of text & pics on a fifth of the time.
- Why do people with a website (so they have a domain) still use an email address from a free provider as their **business** email? Mind boggling
- Why do website owners with their own domain use a free/pay service to make a "link tree" (yes, you know what I mean here) instead of creating that same thing in their own website and directing even more traffic to their site?

Full day of work, brain fog, went for a walk after work (sun! flowers! ponies! warmth!), got home and promptly started making dinner, only to realize it was an hour too early. Whoops.
So I got some studying done before continuing making dinner.

Thoughts on #InternationalWomensDay :
- that we still have this date on the calendar is sign enough that there is too much work to do
- giving women a flower to "appreciate their work" is bullsh*t
- there is nothing "happy" about it, so stop saying "happy International women's day"
- words are small, actions are giants.

Nearly daily walks help keep us moderately sane. Love looking at the clouds.

- Ran out of peanut butter, bought a different brand (because the one we like the best requires a trek to a different store), and it's not as tasty as our usual
- Tired of reminding a client to pay their bills on time. Even if you want to wait until the last day, frigging program the transfer in your account, dammit
- Once more the weekend flew by and didn't get any studying done (neither last week because work was extremely annoying)
- Vacation is still a few weeks away, and I am so exhausted it's not funny any more.

Cooking musings:
Is it paella still if there are more vegetables than rice?
Is it Spanish if only the cook is?
Will any possible far off relative from Valencia disinherit me for the bastardisation of the dish?

I have really abused the slippers I've owned. I need new slippers.
And a proper rain jacket.
