Title: Georgeousness
Post by: PMC on March 18, 2005, 02:06:52 PM
Hmm, the sun is shining and it's like a summer's day outside.  Just been to the park to enjoy the warmth (while it's still a novelty) and watch Springtime unfold around me.

The trees are slowly starting to bud, with little flecks of green appearing on the branches and the air is alive with the scents of early blooms.  

Just three weeks ago it was snowing hard....

All is now right with the world :-)

It's so perfect today, I wish I could put it in a bottle and live there.

Spring is definately here. I just walked a few miles doing some errands today and I actually felt too hot!

The trees are starting to bloom, the sunlight is mellow and warm. Great :-)

Oh, and it's Friday (of course)!

I looked out my window this morning and saw lots of yellow/white things in the grass area infront of our house.

"I though ok what the hell have they dumped this time" before I realised it was actually the daffodils!

Of course, the joy of Spring has been tempered somewhat by receiving this years feckin' Council Tax Bill :-(

I was pleasantly surprised that mine didn't go up that much from last year.

Having said that, a hundred and forty odd quid a month, for a single person is fahking outrageous!

In my opinion. :-P

Anyway,

Goodnight!

Hmmmmm...when I first saw this thread title, I immediately thought it was about Blobzie...

...but on closer inspection I saw it was about George.

Of course, one could argue that the little princess in georgette could be gorgeous, but where would that leave George on a Friday such as this?

 :-P

I'm only £23 a month and I'm in a 5-person 3-bedroomed house with Siouxsie.

Mind you, she's a student so she's exempt (which means I get 25% discount for "single person") and I'm on incapacity benefit :-D

We're on £113 IIRC, which isn't bad for London.

Edit: does she wear georgette, and if so, does she wear it on a Friday?

Bloody nora. The price of living in Glasgow astonishes me.

Still, at least the nice weather has arrived. Think I'll go for a walk.

But yeah Glasgow will be more expensive than crappy old Dundee :-D

Bloody Nora is such an "old blokes playing dominoes in the corner of the pub and chatting about their woes" kind of remark.

Reminds me of my old local, where a pair of old guys basically spent all their time (and pension money, one expects) doing just that.

Occasionally you'd just hear one come out with "Blooooody Norrrra!". Usually when talking about the activity of the local chavs ;-)

Pretty restrained, really :-D

I wouldn't say the place was that bad, although I hear it went downhill a lot in the last few years.
