Well, apparently I can't even do a Scottish accent in text.  Never mind.  I only lived there for four years.
I know I don't blog very often, and if I thought I had any level of readership then maybe I would apologise for my digital neglect - but I have no such delusions, so I really don't think an apology is necessary.  I have been busy, and/or lazy, so I didn't post anything, and that is just how it goes.
Incidentally, that attitude (busy and/or lazy) is how I frequently get myself into the following situation: it is Thursday night, and I like to have the flat nice and tidy for Chris when he gets home from a week away, but I come home from whatever I was doing... and there it is: the washing up.  It has hit critical mass, again.  There is nothing left that does not need washing up.  For three days, I have been drinking hard-water orange squash out of a ceramic noodle cup, and eating toast because it doesn't require a plate.  And now the time has come, and it has to be done.  I get close to the sink, and move a few plates.  The smell begins to rise.  Opening the window seems like a great idea until I am reminded, by the sight of a naked elderly man, that my kitchen window faces directly onto the bathroom window of the flat facing mine. 
Is there a worse way to commence your least favourite household chore?  I doubt it, somehow.
But I got it done!  (I should note here that now, every time I say or hear any phrase relating to something getting done, I have to resist the urge to say "Git'r done!" because I watch far too much South Park.)  And now my hands feel like sandpaper and my kitchen smells like crap.  Having the window open does not make much difference; I will have to put some laundry on before I leave for work tomorrow.  I love the smell of fresh laundry.  How domestic of me!  Never fear, though, I have not quite reached Housewife City just yet: I still occasionally get so drunk that I throw up, and then continue drinking.  I am still in touch with my inner seventeen year old.  What can I say - I don't think anybody's stomach reacts well to a combination of red wine, vodka, kahlua, amaretto and milk, when they have only eaten a bag of cheesy Doritos all day. 
I can't believe I am blogging about doing the washing up and puking like an underage delinquent.  I know it's 1am and I have been so sleep-deprived this week that my right eye has developed a sort of manic murderer twitch, but this blog entry is really taking the piss.
I am going to sign off before I start talking about my boobs.
Over and out.
