I did something last night that, in retrospect, I’m not all that proud of. You might say it was a bit wrong. In my defence, it all seemed so logical at the time.
It involved pork chops. Now, I know there are those amongst this blog’s readership who will think anything involving pork chops is a bit wrong (mostly vegetarian, queasy types). I don’t want to get drawn into that debate, so let me just say this: you’re wrong. Pork chops are God’s greatest gift to the taste buds and the stomach and every day spent not eating them is a day in your life wasted.
Anyway, the pork chops, they were sizzling and getting pretty close to being ready. Also, to complicate things, the bath had just been run and the water was nicely hot. Now, I had something of a dilemma. Do I eat the chops and let the bath go cold? Do I jump in the bath and let the chops go cold? It’s a tough one.
I leapt to a logical conclusion – why not combine the two? And I did. I plonked the chops on a plate with a knife and fork, stripped off and jumped in the bath.
Looking back on it, it’s probably not good form – eating dinner in the bath. There are probably OH&S rules against it. But hey – you gotta do what you gotta do.
Running
I went for a run this morning, starting and finishing at my office in the city. As I started out I noticed an unfamiliar sensation. The air seemed moist, and the ground slightly wet. Also, there appeared to be some sort of liquid falling from the sky. It didn’t take me more than a few blocks to realise this was rain! Rain! You remember that, back from the good old days before climate change.
It was more of a drizzle to be honest, and a pleasant drizzle at that. By the end I was a touch wet and dripping. It’s not a good sign when you have to stop and wring out your shirt. Ah well, I’ll probably get a cold now.
