Feeling better already!

So in a bid to start as I mean to go on, tonight I decided to give myself a manicure and a pedicure (it's been a while). While I was in the middle of the pedicure André came in and asked what I was doing, so I told him I was shaving my feet. His response - "what are you a hobbit?" Damn I'd forgotten how quick he can be. When he's on form - which is most of the time actually - he can be so much fun! Since he's planning on going in to work tomorrow I asked what time he planned on getting up, to which he replied that if he couldn't get out of bed in the morning he would work from home in the morning and go in in the afternoon. "And that's one of the disadvantages of working from home, you get out of a routine and you end up working from bed". So I suggested that if that was how he preferred working the only alternative occupation I could think of for him was prostitution, but he might need to have a shave occasionally! Said he'd give that a miss - well he definitely will in my place anyway!

He's been binge-watching The Crown lately (I must start watching that as I've heard such good things about it) and said that if he watched much more he'd have to start speaking with a British accent. And oddly enough I'd just come across this clip on Youtube not five minutes before. Sandi Toksvig is actually Danish (but lives in England) and did this brilliant clip of how Donald Trump is possibly just misunderstood - in the literal sense of the word!

  1. Even with an English accent he doesn't make sense.

    2. If you feel that you are beginning to understand him, I would advise you to seek immediate care from a mental health professional.

    3. You might be right Debby - that's why I've given up drinking until Christmas just to see!

  2. I really enjoy being around people who are quick like that! All three of my children have a quick wit.

    1. Both my kids are quick and I love the banter. Some of my friends too - and you can get some real belly laughs with them in no time at all!

  3. He's definitely a mess. I wonder how long before he ends up in a dementia unit.

    1. I don't think he's ever been coherent so you might be right - with Giuliani to keep him company?

  4. I watched that program, it's hilarious and Trump has given them and most other comedians so much material you wonder how they'll all cope without him! I often wonder if he's aware of what a joke he's considered to be! Probably not. x

    1. While he has been a nightmare for the world he has been an absolute dream for the comedians hasn't he, but I don't think for one minute he has any self-awareness that he is a joke! Narcs don't I believe!

  5. While it's sounds more elegant with the Brit accent, you can't mask the stupid.
    I laughed till I cried.

    1. I had never heard of that programme before, but Adam Hills who hosts it, was born missing a foot, hence the name of the programme. I'll have to look out for it on TV or watch it on Youtube as it looks good!

  6. My kids are whitty-I come of as sarcastic, not funny. I agree-without routine, it does get hard to maintain work life balance when working remotely. I'm a bad example of good habits. I know Sandi form the baking show. I will need to take a good listen.

    1. Humour makes the world go around doesn't it! If you like Sandi, she took over from Stephen Fry when he left QI. I didn't think it would be possible to replace Fry but she manages it easily as she's very intelligent as well as funny!

  7. Though all of my sons are quick witted, one is the king. We all bow down to his greatness.

    1. Both of mine are quick, but in different ways - I just love it because we can have so much fun!
