Entry for 26th May, 2008

It has been a relatively stressful evening so far. My Significant Other forgot to buy anything for dinner, and burst into tears when she explained this to me. It is not a terribly significant problem for me, as I can generally make a pleasing snack from the most unpromising of ingredients. It must be remembered that I lived alone for quite a number of years, and there are few single men who do not know of delights such as Weetabix and Jam, Pasta and Butter, and indeed Cooking Chocolate on Bread. Gordon Ramsay: if you need a few ideas for your latest menu at the Dorchester, I am but a phone call away.
On top of the "no dinner" issue, I forgot to bring a CD home which my Significant Other needs for a rehearsal tomorrow (my regular reader will recall that she runs a dance school). I was only reminded about this four times today, and accordingly it is not my fault that I forgot it. If I am to remember something, it is essential to tattoo the name of the thing in reverse on my forehead, and then bash me on the head at breakfast time - five times with a non-stick frying pan, repeatedly yelling "Look in the mirror at five o'clock, stupid."
So, "no dinner", "no cd" and also no Significant Other. She has disappeared off to the school prom. Ostensibly this is to supervise, but I know that she and the other teachers all spike the punch and then let down the tyres on the limos that the sixth years hire.
So, I have been bathing the babies. They are now in bed. It is nice and quiet. I am going for a lie down. Do not wake me.
