Simplicity

We've both been working today - me with no choice in the matter and my boyfriend on overtime; as I wasn't off he decided to take the offer to work and earn some extra pennies. We'll save them for a rainy day or in other words until we're both next off again together and spend them irresponsibly!

Now we're both sat in the lounge, on separate sofas - but it's okay we've not fallen out or anything like that; I'm blogging and my boyfriends watching the television. He should be a judge on the X Factor, as I occasionally look up from my post and look over towards him, you would not believe the faces he pulls, the comments he makes on the acts or the fits of laughter he finds himself in because of some of the more outlandish efforts. Watching him is more entertaining than the actual programme itself, it's comedy gold, like I said he should be a judge - he's top entertainment and I'm sure the viewers would love him as I do.

It's a great night, we find ourselves doing absolutely nothing and it's great; just sitting back, relaxing and watching television/blogging, I guess it's what the vast majority of households are also doing right now. I never really understood the appeal of it before but now it makes perfect sense. Even when there's a major event going on in Manchester as I write, what's it called? Oh, that's right something called Pride Weekend - only the biggest event on the gay calendar in the North West, a single bus ride away from my house. We've both been there before but never together; it's a great weekend but it gets mega busy, we thought about going along but couldn't really muster the enthusiasm. Maybe Monday night, as sad as it is Peter Andre is playing then and well it would be fun if nothing else to go and see him; we'll see. But if you're a gay single guy who wants to get laid and can make it to Pride why are you reading this? Just go, trust us if you can't get laid then there's something seriously wrong, trust us we know!

Boyfriend's making a move to the kitchen, oh bless him he's washing the pots, fingers crossed my kitchen will look as neat and tidy as his when he's done. It's just struck me, I think this is the first ever time I've blogged in real time, just writing down things as they happen around me. And here we are doing nothing, there's a lot to be said about nothingness, judging by the length of this post anyway! We had a top tea tonight, I was in Marks & Spencer at lunchtime buying a sandwich for dinner and whilst there I perused the aisles for ideas for tea. They had a special offer on oven bake fish and chip meals - buy two for £3.00; it's basically a box containing a piece of breaded cod and oven chips, you chuck them in the oven for twenty odd minutes and hey presto, tea is served. It's lazy admittedly but as we've both been working it's an ideal, time saving solution and let me tell you it was fantastic. Fish, chips, peas, bread and butter; such a classic, so tasty and so simple - that's the key to everything I think, simplicity.

Boyfriends back, he's just given me a kiss in passing before sitting down; and now he's channel surfing. I've neglected him long enough I'll go sit with him a while, maybe hold hands or cuddle, besides that kiss was real nice. Maybe we'll kiss some more, like I said simplicity.........
