Mouldy spaghetti

Monday, 15 September, 2003

I love my husband. Even though he does some very strange things. The other night he had friends over to watch Spirited Away. He and Joe went grocery shopping for the ingredients to make mini pizzas and noticed that Woolworths were selling bright yellow buckets for 98c each. They bought one bucket each. Then Simon and Pakman dared Ben to use the bucket instead of a bag so, for two weeks, Ben went around campus carrying all his possessions in the bright yellow bucket. After one week, Simon and Pakman purchased their own buckets and did likewise. Buckets are really the man's fashion accessory! I came home from Katoomba Women's Convention on Sunday afternoon and pretty much went straight to church to teach Sunday School. Somehow my group ended up with 18 kids which is a lot for one leader—especially leader with no teaching experience! I was pretty tired by the end of it so I did a naughty thing and skipped church. Ben (who is still sick) made spaghetti bolognaise the night before with Tim and he had, for some unfathomable reason, put green food dye into the sauce. So I was eating what looked like mouldy spaghetti!! I'm feeling happy today; I think the 9 hours of sleep last night really helped. Still haven't had a day off ... hopefully Sunday.

Hmmm…I like the sounds of this bucket idea. Much better than my current uni bag, which can’t even hold my study Bible! (luckily, my girlfriend took pity on me and gave me a slimline Bible for my birthday). I may have to investigate this further…

On a more sane note, glad to hear you’re feeling happier.

Only if the bucket has a handle is it then practical otherwise I would have to categorize it as an impractical endeavour, neither requiring nor imparting upon itself a measure of usefulness.
Aye! never ye met a man with a need for a bucket? Ney, I tell ye, the bilge water remains till its much offensive. A corsair scurvy scallywag with sprogs could encourage many a mateys hand to remove the throth and bile for perhaps a dainty piece of eight. Titivate or be keelhaul, that be what I sayt’you. Heave to your mizzenmast as my words be serious, splice the Mainbrace! Yo-ho-ho…

I love it.  Allow me to continue the bucketed inspiration.
