day 1056 in the bradfordian house.*
05:38AM: bushra wakes up and does the thing she does every time she wakes up: she reaches for her phone and
checks the weather.
hmm, light showers. for the past three days the forecast for
friday has been sunny, but
bushra is going to take her chances, she has a lot of washing that needs drying.
05:45AM: bushra is out of bed and hanging out
t'washing.
bushra realises she has used up all the washing lines, and is not sure how the family in law will take this. she also remembers she is not really talking to the mister, after he left her to it yesterday evening.
bushra was spring cleaning and needed the mister to watch the boy. only for him to be summoned by his sister and the
asbo aunt,
bushra was not sure where they were off to this time, but found later they had gone for a spot of slow mo shopping in
tesco. so productive was
bushra yesterday, she managed to get her cleaning done, wash her hair and then take sister #2 to the same supermarket where the mister was caught lurking in the newspapers and magazines section.
07:32AM: bushra and the boy are ready for work and nursery. the father in law carries the boy around the house and comes across
bushra washing the boy's bottles and sterilising unit in the kitchen. he mentions he has heard the boy has finally settled at nursery.
bushra begins to explain that the boy never had problems settling at nursery but she turns around to find the father in law and the boy have wandered off.
09:14AM: bushra accepts that writing about herself in the third person is all very
lee mcqueen** and must be kept to a minimum.
*how do i know this? because i found
an actual web page that will count the days since a certain date. i heart the
interweb.
** i know what a pterodactyl is, but a
reverse pterodactyl? what is that all about?
