Day nine - bags full of too much produce

Bit later to the square today. Got some bananas which are in the process of marinating in their own rot sitting on the kitchen counter. The vipers had bought them from the dude round the corner at the pizza shop, who for some reason was selling 2 bunches for $2. So, needless to say, they've sat there since.

I had bananas and custard one day last week - but there's only so much of that one guy can eat. So, anyway, I was down at the grocery store to buy baking soda and baking powder (what is the difference?) in order to make banana nut bread. Got a recipe from C.

Back to the pizza dude who sold us these unused 'naners. We got a bagfull of red bell peppers and green 'hot' peppers over the weekend. Again - $2 for all you can carry.

So today (after a lunchtime pint) - gonna do some 'naner nut bread. With choc chips.

This not working stuff is fantastic. The vipers thought I'd get bored - and deep down - I thought I would too. But so far, so good. The days actually seem to fly by. They go so much quicker than a day at work.

And another thing - I just don't care what time it is. At work, I was constantly obsessing about the time - meetings, timesheets, other crap - now it doesn't matter what time it is. Excellent.

Weather's ok today. Not hot - not cold. I have shorts on, but also a light jacket. There's just a little breeze - very pleasant. Sun is trying to come out. Bought a solar panel yesterday with a little motor. Would be nice to build something that costs nothing to use (am I becoming cheap?)

Getting something for nothing has something very appealing about it though. I was reading an article about some guy straightening reclaimed nails from a neighbor's lumbar - that's a bit extreme. OK. 11:55am. Must be time for the rats to leave their race and come out for lunch. No real sign of them yet though. I'll sit here for a bit longer to see what happens.

There are a lot of nannies around it seems. Women with babies who obviously don't belong to them ... they look too different.

Was supposed to be meeting with Jim tomorrow night - but he's not coming now. Oh well - that would have just cut into my week anyway. :)

1:30pm. In the pub. Just finishing pint #2. That's enough for one lunchtime. Weather is absolutely beautiful now, so gonna go out and sit in the sq for a bit. Got some shopping to do. Well - buy a birthday card for the old lady, and perhaps a hat.

Gotta love not working.
