Oh my goodness I fancy the barmaid.

Chris Evans | 07:30 UK time, Wednesday, 29 April 2009

I woke up this morning still...

... half dreaming.

I was dreaming that my wife was a dusky barmaid in a far away bar somewhere in a hot and dusty country. It was late afternoon and I had chanced upon the family establishment after a hard days driving researching my next novel.

She didn't appear to speak English but she gave me an unecessary smile, one that hadn't gone unnoticed. She wore a torquoise t shirt slightly dirty and loose and cut off jean shorts and sandals. Seconds before -

"Beer please," I had requested, in that sheepish fashion a man adopts when he wants a female to think he is nicer than he really is.

Confidently she had rattled an unlabelled brown bottle from a bucket of ice and water. She expertly flicked off the metal cap. I was transfixed.

"Limon ?" she enquired.

"Oh 'er yes please, " I had to remind myself to speak.

The order now complete she placed it in front of me. Again there was a smile and this time a beat. It was a moment, a real moment, the kind of moment that life is about, the kind of moment that you can wait a lifetime for - the whole world stopped - silence.

And then...

...crying.

Noah was demanding to be served next and he was in no mood to wait.

CLP.

2009.

    I hate those dreams. You never find the path to heaven.

    They are great when they are in full swing, and the barmaid is there, all tantalizing, and smiling, and giving you the eye, and then leading to you to her boudoir, just about to reveal the contents of her fruit and veg stall, and then........

    ......"Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaad, she's picking on meeeeeeeeeeee".

    I love kids. But I couldn't eat a whole one.

    Do you ever have those dreams that continue - so you're in the middle of one, you wake up, you go back to sleep and you're back in it again? Usually dreams that are boring. Why does it not happen with the gawjus ones that you dont want to end????

    I too have those dreams, that you just go right back into, usually scary not nice ones, that you would really rather just left you alone, oh well makes you get up and have an extra early start on the day, so can't be all bad.

    You'll have to excuse me, but I posted on yesterdays too late, so I'm gonna do the copy paste thing.

    Half way through the week - hooray. In fact more than half way for me as I have Friday off - an even bigger hooray.

    Great dream Chris, as Chrissie said good job Noah needed feeding ;)

    I never remember my dreams when I wake up, but I will have a flash back when I'm going through my REMs tonight - which is always a bit weird.

    Hazel,

    Can I join the BTC, I broke one of me big'uns years ago whilst leaping up and down on trampoline, toe got stuck in the webby stuff that you bounce on and the rest of me diddn't - Iwent up, toe staid down and in an odd direction, I think this could be the reason I've never truly mastered high heels. (think Dick Emery, or if you're too young Mrs Overall - that's me)

    Your earlier post, my new position is a Funeral Service Arranger, as this is a whole new thing to me, I don't know what the difference is, but I think a Funeral Director is a step up the ladder.

    Well, I gone and done it now, signed and posted contract.

    Crumpy - let's hope your "Ryan in a wooden box" dream is a euphemism for the game tonight and that my lads herald triumphant by 9.30 ish this eve!

    I have some really odd dreams, and can only hope and pray that I don't talk in my sleep - now that would spell Big Trub at Deev Towers!!

    Now ..... iPod Peculiarities, Part VI

    My pod has about 1800 tunes upon it. This morning I had my pod on for all of 45 minutes or so, whilst getting gawjussed. During that short soace of time it kicked out 5 (yes count 'em ... .1, 2, 3, 4, 5) tracks by Depeche Mode (total of 2 DM albums on pod). and then (and this is the weird bit) it threw me "Personal Jesus" by Marilyn Manson - a Mode cover version.

    Now what's that all about??

Looks like it's going to be another week yet before I can go back to work as I can't actually drive yet, the sciatica is so bad.

    So, I've been feeling very sorry for meself and although I've been at home, I couldn't sit at the pooter for the first week or two, and then didn't want to infect the blog with my misery!

    Oooo … controversy so early in the blg at #5!!

    Superb - I am crying at #6 - the baby is asleep in my arms and I’m trying not to wake her with my laughter!! Sorry, but any dream where I end up with DT 10 inch would definitely not leave me with any guilty feelings!! Steamy yersel’!!

    JG - Your poor sis!! I’m a petrol gauge eeker outer too, and have only been caught out once, in the middle of the city’s busy industrial estate! 2 very nice policemen took pity on me, pushed the car into a carpark, drove me to a petrol station, and drove me back again!! We are blessed with some very lovely policemen in Inverness … just as we are on the blog! ;)

    Right, going to put sleeping baby in cot and check on sleeping swine!

    Morning all,

    Sounds like some dream CLP! When I have dreams with people I know in them, they don't look the same as they are. I know its them but they look completely different - very weird!

    Happy Birthday Jillygoat - enjoy your cake and hope you feel better soon.

    Tobes - when you think about all the people who can't have kids and the fathers who are stopped from seeing their children, it beggers belief that women like this are allowed to bring up children. What a life they have in front of them.

    Beesmum - having seen the pics of you with Bingo, I’m beginning to think you may be a bit of a Mrs Robertson, though perhaps you are too young!! Lol I passed a particularly gawjus looking laddie the other day, as I was driving into the centre - just had to text my pal behind in her car (we were stationery) as he was jaw dropping stunning! I’d have loved to hear her trying to explain to her 5 year old lad what she was laughing at! Please tell me they have a heel, the red shoes!? I miss my red stilettos!

    Tobes - not even going to read that as I will get VERY angry. That’s child abuse in my book, sorry if that offends anyone! Grrrr!

    Cornishgirl - I am so with you on that one! We foster cared for a while, but also through my career in alcohol rehab and supported housing I have seen the suffering children go through when SW either moves too soon, or not soon enough.

    DtM - how could you doubt him?! What?? You mean you guys dream about lassies who are not your beloved!? Shockeroony!

    Oh dear, I can hear cats fighting. I asked the lady downstairs why she hadn’t got her tom cat neutered, disgusted that he is spraying our washing line, the wee lass’s garden, our front door, etc. ‘Can’t afford it!’ was the answer - she’s on DLA, etc. Suggested PDSA, but she said they wouldn’t neuter til he’d had his jabs which she has to pay £49 for. Not only is he a disgusting, mangy, mean cat, he’s probably going to end up with swine flu!!! Grrrr!

    Hi Susan

    Going back to the garlic related hallucinations, my sister actually rang me in the middle of the night once, as she was absolutely convinced there was someone standing on the landing. She was hysterical because "they/it" was standing between her room and where her two girls were sleeping (she's on her own).

    It took me ages to calm her, and frightened me too at first, until I remembered Mum had said earlier that they'd been out for a Thai meal...hence the garlic.

    She's vowed never to eat it again, other than indirectly in ready made sauces etc. where it's much milder, and doesn't have the same effect.

    I'm a really strong swimmer (can go for hours/miles in a pool) but because it was deep and "lakey" and I couldn't see the bottom or what else was lurking in there, I was just petrified. The other members of the group coaxed me in and I am so glad I did it - amazing experience!!

    And that was the other thing I loved about Cuba - I'm a swimming pool person by nature, but the sea was gawj. I think I only went in the hotel pool once i nthe 2 weeks - rest of the time in the sea.

    We couldn't do the Havana trip as it was a 2 hour flight (in a rickety looking old plane - no way!) and it was just too expensive.

    We swam with the dolphins as well, and must admit when they first come up to you, it's quite scary, as you don't really appreciate how big they are until they're in your face. Really wonderful experience though once you get used to them.

    The sea was fantastic too.

    Perhaps swimming with dolphins should go on the list of things to do before I die, not that I've got a list, but you know what I mean.

    I love flying, even though I have had some eventful journeys to say the least!

    Well. What a difference a day makes .....

    Was sitting here sending a text to my lovely man boss to confirm an airport transfer for later today.

    Old lady boss gives me "the look", so I said I'm texting your son about his airport taxi for later.

    I then joked it's quite sad having my boss's mobile number on my own phone, and assured her he's not part of my "man hareem" and not to worry.

    She then goes "he'll be most disappointed to hear that" so I said (very flippantly!) he couldn't handle me and she goes "I'm sure it would do him the world of good"

    OMG!!!

    24 hours ago I had my bullet proof vest and tin hat on!

    Morning, Afternoon everyone from sunny upstate NY. Temps today cooler only in the 60s but at least its nice. The nice weather yesterday lasted until about 4PM, when the clouds gathered and the rain poured for most of the evening. The temp plummeted from the 70s to the 50s....... quite a shock to the system especially as it was 90 over the weekend and Monday. Oh well.

    Happy hump day everyone. The weekend is only two days away.......

    Hiya!
    I've just had an OMG moment, well actually one was a moment followed by another that lasted more than an hour!

    Why do I talk in riddles - probably summink to do with v.small size of brain.

    Well, anyhoo, had a call from nice gil in agency, she told me about a job last week that sounded really good and right up my boulevard (sp, sorry) then, nothing, so thats one of the reasons why I went ahead with funeral jobby, to cut a long rambling story short, she said the guy was going to call for an initial telephone interview! He did, call lasted more than an hour, and interview in person tomoroz.

    I feel awful, coz will have to start with funeral peeps then leave after a week, I guess I'll just have to say I wasn't suited to it. - Of course only if I get the job!

    Oh I hate things like this, but, I've been thinking and thinking about the Funeral job, could I hack the quiet - they only have on av. 1 a week, an I'd be all on me tod all day, and the money's complete cr*p, I was earning more 20 years ago!

    On the other hand, other job 'Office Manager' involved in absolutely everyfing, but mainly International Trade - much more my thing, will have to spend first few weeks in New York, money just over twice as much!!!!!

    I gotta give it a go.
    Sorry I know I already owe favours, but can I ask you guys to cross 'em again for me - just till 4pm Thurs..........Thanks

    Deev - I was there in Aug 2003 and yes its sounds like the same place with the dophins. I don't like being out of my depth in the sea, so was really nervous but so worth it. My son and I were so engrossed watching the next set of people go in, that we didn't realise our party had left in the boat without us. Son's face was a picture when he saw the boat out at sea- luckily someone realised and came back for us! Did it again in Mexico ( probably the same place as you Debs ) so have been really, really lucky.

Highland hubby still playing up the flu thing and is in bed so haven’t told him!!

    Jillygoat, honey, what a scunner you’re having such a time of it! Dare we ask what you were doing t slip the disc?? And how was the French fancy? Re the crutch … yes it did read with the o to me!!

    Debs2 - sprayed diet coke all over screen! Thanks!

    Darce - I get so angry about families like that - decent folk are crying out for kids and they treat them like that!

    Thunder, #60 - agreed!! And #112 - we were just talking about MS Awareness week at work earlier - all of us knew folk with it. There’s a particularly high occurrence on the West Coast here.

    Penny - meant to say - thanks for sending the sun North! Wee lass had a great day at the farm with nursery! Why don’t you come back up for the Scottish blogger’s mini-meet in June??

    Beez - you are incorrigible!!! Off to look on FB!! I’ll bet you purred in the growly car!!

    MC - I’m out of touch with Apprentice as I was working over the last 2 Wednesdays. Looking forward to it tonight!!

    Ebbw Beth - hope you get t’internet sorted soon - it’s like losing apart of yourself! Wee lass is really pale and streaming, baby is sneezing and coughing. It’s going to be another sleepless night in the Highland household!

    JG - we’ll all be rooting for you - you’ll be fine in the exam - you have all the information you need, just stay calm and you’ll recall all that you need on the day. And I told my dentist that my toothache was worse than childbirth, and I had pretty horrific times giving birth!! Lol Haven’t heard of such a severe reaction to garlic, poor lass!!

    Hi madcatian - did I miss the post about a book?!?

    Superbp - I’m drooling at the thought of John Barrowman in my room - I wouldn’t have him counting beans!!

    Chrissie - it is really freaky what some folk hallucinate when withdrawing from alcohol. I had to sit in one woman’s room once pretending to stamp on the rats and lizards she said were coming out of the floor. Poor woman.

    Hello 007!! My sis and her hubby fly into NY on Friday, then home here on Saturday!

    For some unknown reason, I woke up at half five and cannot get back to sleep to proper greet the 6.30 alarm, so here I am!

    Incidentally, I had a dream about ballet dancing last night. I had a beautiful tu-tu in pale pink, and some silk ballet shoes with laces that went up my ankle.

    Strange!

    So it's Thirsty Thursday ..... 2 more sleeps til Bridget-dom descends.

    Gotta go back to ELH this morning - I bought some rice salad from their chilled range to go with the rocket last night and Mr Deev discovered a lump of blue polythene in it. Nice! His first reaction was that it was one of those blue catering plasters, but thankfully its "only" polythene.

    Brace yourselves, ELH. I'm up for this one!

    Gingembre - I think it may be curtains for my boys. We'll see.

    I've always believed that's when your mind says it's time to sleep, but your body is still not quite ready to call it a night.

    I used to go out with someone (many moons ago) who was really really sporty - football and cricket - and he used to crack me up when I stayed over at his place. If he'd had a match that day, the muscles in his legs would twitch and jolt for a good hour or so after lights out, even though he was seemingly tired and ready to sleep.

    Jakey, meant to say...had a whole conversation with my mother the other day as she is currently afflicted by a coff...hot drinks are better than cold. Even though the cold feels soothing, the temperature constricts your blood vessels, which causes the muscles in your neck to contract...which will make you coff more.

    Anyhoo, I suggested tea, she suggested boiling up a litre of gin.

    Your call!

    (I wouldn't advocate boiling gin. Just a gentle heat to warm it through should be sufficient, else you lose all the alcohol, and end up with juniper cordial.)

    It's getting close to Dinner time, thinking of a Chip Butty, or Chips and gravy.

    Although last time I asked for a chip butty the canteen staff looked at me gone out - However once it was on my plate they recond it looked really good, and guess what it's on next week menu - Hurray

    Afternoon peeps

    Boleyngirl - Happy Birthday - Pen Blwydd Hapus.

    Deev, bp et al - can't 'do' any kind of PS/X-box type games, just not my thing. Give me a nice crossword (NOT sudoku!).

    Do like scrabble, though.

    Hope you're all having a good day.
    Off to the ballet tonight, Coppelia, to continue celebrating last weeks' birthday!

    OOOOOOH - how exciting, thanks for all the birthday messages, thanks a bunch all!

    Have spent first part of day asleep, making up for 3 broken nights due to Boleynman's wild temperature and sweats (not in a good way). he decided to sleep downstairs last night to give me a break, then appeared, waking me from a deep sleep, at 5.00am. Said he thought I'd want him there when I woke up!!!

    Have had lots of lovely presents, including a smashing, genuine, yellow "Caution Wet Floor" sign for when I'm mopping the kitchen floor! They're all heart here.

    Got to go, work calls, thanks again, love you all,

    Crumps, with you on the Crossword. Can't do numbers. Even less interest in sudoku than I have in Football...

    Anyhoo, I was previously going to wish the delightful Boleyngirl a very happy birthday, but my pooter was taken over by our tech support person (take me to your leader) so that she could 'update' something. Since my technical knowledge extends no further than switching the thing on, I take it that this is a good thing.

    ***HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOLY!!!***

    My grandad always used to have really strong cheddar with his Christmas cake, and its something I've continued with. Mr Deev thought it an "odd family trait" but then when we went to The Ivy for dinner, they had it on their menu as a dessert!

    Ha! I win!!!
