The Spinster's Exploits

…although not necessarily in that order…

Life has been busy, so I’ve been planning my blogs, but somehow not got them written so far.

Last night was the film “Song Sung Blue” – a fabulous film that made me laugh, gulp, wipe my eyes and – I think – say “Oh, no!” and “Fuck!” out loud and unplanned… I thought I’d quite enjoy a film about a Neil Diamond tribute act, but it was so much more. And as it was shown at a community cinema – so no annoying trailers! – unlike this blog… It was rather nice being alone but in the company of a full albeit small auditorium.

I will write about a wonderful no-sex and no-erotic-play weekend and an amazing belated birthday spanking, but want to write briefly about my Spinsterly Sunday – unsurprisingly, the pleasantly every-day stuff is more easily forgotten, but important.

Usually if neither of us have commitments I spend much of my Sunday with You-know-who – the established-polyamorous-FwB-etc. This weekend started on Thursday, so he went home on Saturday. I love being with him, but I also love my own company.

So this highly respectable pillar of the community listened to ‘’Broadcasting House’’ on Radio 4, did some food shopping, bought ‘‘The Observer’’ and made two lots of soup in her brand-new pressure cooker*. I only have to say that I read “The Radio Times” and that’s me pegged as the ageing liberal who receives catalogues full of gadgets for the infirm and aged – all true…

The soups were cream of leek and lettuce, and a root veg and coriander – and I was happy with both. I batch cook and freeze – are you bored yet? As well as this I had the satisfaction of biting into the laundry pile and washing up, as well as watching several episodes of “The Good Doctor” and “The Walsh Sisters” in between doing puzzles, playing on-line Scrabble and catching up with my Welsh DuoLingo. I did consider a trip to the multiplex to see a film – but I couldn’t be arsed – home was too tempting. My E-P-FwB-etc introduced me to the term “blobbing” to describe those couch potato pleasures – I am very good at solo-blobbing and blobbing with him – nice to be multi-skilled!

*Unlike more worthy spinsters of the parish, I gave up on my original pressure cooker when I burnt food inside it!  I then compounded my unworthiness by giving in to the siren-song of Amazon and almost-instant-gratification – and bought a new one!
