WFH Day 9 of x
Prince Chow Mein
"Dad" said Henry this morning, "if you sing 'Prince Charming' in a funny voice it sounds like you're saying 'Prince Chow Mein'."
Now I wasn't aware that the boy was a fan of early 80s New Wave, but I couldn't disagree with what he was saying, so naturally I confirmed he was right.
"Yes Henry, yes it does. I wonder what other Chinese food Adam and the Ants enjoyed?"
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you our Prince Charming Oriental Remix:
Prince chow mein, prince chow mein
Sweet and sour's nothing to be scared of
Porky dumplin', porky dumplin'
Keep cooking Chinese, feeding me your fried rice.
So yeah, that was fun. If you like that kind of thing. Which I do.
Eva stared at us like we were weird, but then I wasn't the one ballet dancing topless in the front room later was I Eva?
Weirdness, as they say, is in the eye of the beholder. Or something like that.
Conversationalists
Belle and I have got into a little routine while I've been working from home. Whenever I need to stretch my legs, I poke my head into the bedroom where Belle spends all day asleep (it gets the sun and has a cosy blanket) and say "miaow" to which Belle always, without fail, replies "miaow".
Sometimes she looks at me, sometimes not. Sometimes she comes over to say her miaow, sometimes not. But without fail, she replies with a miaow.
Sometimes we have quite a conversation between ourselves, but usually that's only when I'm putting off taking over from looking after the kids.
Belle never looks at me like I'm weird, and I regret suggesting now that she'd be the first one to be sacrificed in a post apocalyptic famine.
Comestibles
I had broccoli and stilton soup for my lunch today.

The window in the man cave stayed open all afternoon.
I shall say no more.
