Camp Guy On Phone: "Yeah, well, I was like gonna go, but then I realised where it was, and I have a policy of never going further out than Zone 2, darling".

The Boyf and I roll eyes at each other.

Punter (a tad aggressively): "Oi, mate, where are those oranges from?"

Market Trader: "Spain! You???"

Not Exactly Prolific

Blimey, it's been over a month since my last post. To own the truth I'd kinda forgotten I actually have a blog.

So, what's been going on?

Well, the puppy's coming along nicely. He's 4 months old now and a little terror/angel, dependant on what mood you catch him in. He's very strong-willed, but he's pretty much house-trained now (not been easy as we live in a flat), and I wouldn't change him for anything. He's teething at the moment, which means my hands look like they been attacked by a small shark, and a lot of the furniture is taking a battering. Ah well…

What else? Well, I've just bought a new car, which I'm waiting to collect. It's the first time I've bought brand new, and with the current economic crisis hitting the motor trade I got a really good deal. Ever since I was a little boy it's been one of my ambitions to walk into a car showroom and pick a new car, and now I've finally done it. And I haven't told The Boyf yet - I'll just park it outside our home and surprise him with it.

As for going out - we've not done very much of it since May Bank Holiday, and even then we didn't do a great deal. Even at weekends I'm getting up for the dog at 8-ish, so it's no more getting drunk and falling into bed at 6 anymore for me.

All a bit dull really, isn't it? Makes you wonder why I persevere with this blog, if you call one post a month "persevering"...
