Underrated Pleasures

It’s one of life’s mysteries, even when you change your mind, its still the leaflet end. The tablet packet equivalent of getting the “yellow” end first in a new packet of fruit pastels.
My wife was a pharmacist. She reckons that, if it has been done properly, if you hold the box so that the writing is correct then opening the right hand side of the box should avoid any problems ...
 


I love Mrs bluerobert to bits but once a year she goes to Trearddur Bay for a week with her entire family. About 40 of them, I head down the final weekend to have a round of golf with her uncle and brother but from the Saturday she leaves to the Saturday morning I head down it’s the greatest present she could ever give me. I book the week off work spend every day walking the dog in the morning, playing golf in the afternoon, making anything that takes my fancy to eat. Usually I’ll make things she isn’t a fan of like Tonkotsu ramen or Chinese bbq. I’ll take the dog to Crosby beach first day she’s gone so I go past that Chinese supermarket facing Bramley Moore and stock up for all the obscure things I’m going to eat over the week. It’s true bliss
My wife and son scoot off for several weeks every summer to visit her family. I'm a contractor so can't afford to take the time off.

The first week is strange, the second week though is pure bliss, the third week I am worried that they will come back and see that I have somehow managed to destroy the house or something and that I'm in for the chop. But that 2nd week or so is shear unadulterated slacking wonderfulness even with working from home or having to go into the office.

The art of loafing in itself, is an underrated pleasure.

Mate I find that first night I’m a bit lost, you have to endure a full week of it. After that first night though I’m right in my grove. I usually save a box set to start for the evenings to get me through the week. Usually something she wouldn’t entertain. I find I clean loads while she’s away so I don’t have to worry about her coming home to a mess. I find it relaxes me in the evening to know that everything is done. Usually I’ll order a little bag of kush to see me through the evenings then I don’t touch it till she goes away again the next year 😂

I booked my week off today in work 16th-23rd August she’s away as they’ve confirmed the dates they’re away this year.
