    Everyday chores you hate doing, but have to

    Brushing my teeth - a real pain in the arse, takes me 3 minutes and the toothpaste foam dribbling from my mouth stains my shirts, then I have to take the foul taste of having a smoke afterwards.

    Using my moobile phone - I live in a granite listed building, so zero phone signal gets through to my flat. I've become accustomed to not being bothered by texts and unecessary calls for about a year now. I have a land line, and those who wanna get in touch can do so. I've grown to hate sending text messages and having to have conversations while out and about, and no I don't have a smartphone/iPhone of any kind.

    Having to get more beers mid-session - A vital must-do but the 200 metre walk of shame to my nearest co-op can be a bit precarious without no sunglasses and a stagger. Preparation is the key I suppose.

    Tying my shoelaces - I wear a pair of adidas ankle boots (skateboarders style) and each time putting them on I have to loosen the laces up and squeeze them on, making me squat down awkwardly. I've often fallen backwards when I've held them so tight and my hand slipped. Taking them off is equally as annoying. I wear a pair of brown slip on shoes at the moment.

    Rant over, for now.

    Feeding the cats in the morning.

    Everyday at about 6 the two of them start yowling and wrestling with each other because they want feeding so after I shower and shave etc I get their food ready and put the bowls down.

    Then they run away so I have to go and catch them and put them in front of the bowls or the dogs will nick their food.

    I tried not feeding them to teach them a lesson but they kick up such a noise and/or start jumping onto the computer keyboard while I am having my coffee and checking emails that I can't concentrate so it's back to the bowls.

    Usually on the 2nd or 3rd try they will start eating and STFU. I suspect the evil little bastards just like to fuck with me while I am bleary eyed and grumpy of a morning.

    The other day one of them puked his breakfast onto a live power strip and nearly blew his little furry skin off. So near and yet so far....

    I presume after all the feeding frenzie problems the cats just went and got comfy and slept for the rest of the day? Been there done that.

    Me, it's cold and rainy today. I have to go to the bank, I have to go to get credit for my phone, i have to do food shopping etc. And top up on wine.

    I hate the rain. It's wet and dismal and i am sad that the summer is over. and i have to wear socks in bed.

    Cutting and filing my nails, a monthly occurence. The habit of filing came from being in Thailand, and scratching the hell out of my skin isn't fun. The worst part is using my (weak) left hand to cut my right hand, a bit like trying to maturbate with the wrong hand, useless.

    Life can be tough at times alright, brushing your teeth, putting shoes on, going for beer.
    I suppose you could just be thankful that you have teeth, shoes and money for beer at all, that might make you feel better.

    Pretty much. Occasionally they will rise from their slumber and come to pester me for food, they only get wet food for breakfast but kibble for the rest of the day.

    ^ isn't life wonderful. Long may it continue...
    ^^stingy fuker...

    The missus buys Mackerel from an old geezer that comes around on a bike fortnightly; 15 or 20 baht for several; sticks them in the freezer then gives it to the cats for breakfast. Cheaper than supermarket catfood and they lurve it...

    I think she hates defrosting the mackerel in the microwave then taking the bones out for the cats, but she has to...
    Cycling should be banned!!!

    More so, the items of life that might be considered "chores'.
    Surprised he didn't list taking a dump as one.

    So, I was chatting to the missus last night and me says: 'what are you doing?', her retort: 'kee yai'... Bloody chores...

    And I'm not stingy, I buy only the highest quality semi-rotten frozen mackerel when Tesco Lotus is flogging them off at 12 Baht per fish. So there.
