All dressed up and nowhere to go


i had a dilemma this morning............................

My truck is still shop coded (poorly sick) and there is no run planned on me but i am meant to be back at work at 08:00.

And im still tired.......................................................

The problem is, Jan has to be at work so if she takes the car i am stranded in Raymond. If she drops me off at the truck then i am stranded at the truck which is poorly and with no run against me then i could be sat around unpaid all day.

The solution was all too simple, take Jan to work, come back home, phone in work, then go back to bed............................

Well that was a great plan and it worked perfectly, its now almost midday and i got an extra half (so far) day off. But now i feel sick................................

When i woke up again i was hungry.................. yep hungry for something greasy, meaty, eggy, saucey and slapped between 2 pieces of bread.

I learnt a lesson this morning.

Pastrami, egg, cheese, mayo and A1 sauce sandwiches are nice but 3 is too many.

Just phoned into dispatch and it looks like Turkey Day (Thanksgiving) in the States is having a bit of an impact on us, its probably to do with meat inspections or something.

Luke and his buddy has just turned up for his lunch (the school is just round the corner), school lunch for Luke is a pretty standard thing, chicken noodles, meat sandwich and one of those Yop dairy drinks.

We actually have one cupboard in the kitchen that is purely for those (Icheyban) thingies, they are disgusting, like a pot noodle without the pot.

Teenagers eh?

Well it looks like another day back at the ranch, if i dont get a run tonight then i think it will be a call to try out one of those little prezzies i got from Graeme Brown when he came down for supper the other night.

He gave me a dozen little sachets of a curry mix. I put them in my ingredients cupboard and now everytime i open the door you get a waft of east indian spices. It smells like a Bangladeshi cook house in there .................. its great 8-)

Those little sachets are fabulous, all the ingredients are ready mixed and the instructions are written on the outside of the packet.......... woo hoo, show me the naan bread !!!
