Baileys

Today was another first in this new year.  Today was the first time this year that I hung my washed clothes outside to dry.  I don't think I've been able to do that for a couple of months - and it does make a difference.  I've mentioned before that I have a fairly good sense of smell and the difference between line dried clothes and clothes dried on an airer inside is quite remarkable.  So remarkable, in fact, that fabric softener companies have tried to reproduce the smell  in their products (I make no comment as to their success).

Another first was my first Sunday dinner of the year with my parents.  Roast pork with all the acroutements (is that the right word?).  This was preceded by a glass of Bailey's liquor and this started me on a dark and dangerous path.  On returning home I had to transfer one of my mum's tapes to CD (a convoluted process at the best of times), sort out a progress test for my students to take tomorrow, plan my lessons for the week and catch up on the various games I play on facebook (I know, they aren't a priority which is why they are listed last but they cannot be neglected - I haven't broken that addiction yet).  To help me get on with these tasks I decided to open my bottle of Bailey's and have a couple of glassfuls.

Which is why this short post has taken me about 30 minutes to type (thank god for spellcheck)
