New phones – argumentative evening

Strange old day today – quite a shame really

Got my new iPhone SE arrive in the morning along with Tasha’s SIM card and we proceeded to migrate the old phones to new – really impressive process as you needed to only put them next to each other and the Bluetooth connection made it all work. Both phones are an upgrade but both phones don’t really feel much different if the truth be told. Hopefully the battery life will be better now though

I should have guessed what the day was going to be like from right at the start of the day, Tash was in a really funny (unfunny!) mood and really argumentative and angry, it was so odd. Literally everything was a problem ad she was getting stressed about everything. I just shut myself away and worked.

Her main issue is that she doesn’t feel like she’s having a holiday during this time where she’s not working! No I’ve got no idea what the fuck that means either! It came up again in a big argument right at the end of the night which ruined that as well – yet it wasn’t with me but with Charlotte.

Anyway, she pottered around, lovely weather to be doing nothing. I actually think it’s because Lewis isn’t coming home this weekend and she’s pissed off about that and taking it out on us. We should also have been in Ibiza today but obviously with this lockdown we’re not

Nikki and Jess popped over briefly, nice to see them but they were in and out very quickly.

Then later in the afternoon Catherine and Jill Partridge were over, they’d brought some clothes over as usual and then had a walk about the garden but then tucked into gin and tonics and stayed a while – that was nice.

By now it was about 5.30pm so I stopped working and got myself a large drink and got the BBQ going and then they left.

It was nice sat down the end using the firepit and Tash clearly got more drunk – BBQ food was good and we stayed out talking etc and then she started repeating herself and crying about something when I was tidying up and then getting angry again with Charlotte. I’d had enough by then, I’d got my torches working and just switched off, I can’t be bothered with it. Eventually Charlotte went to bed about 10.30pm and Tash went literally 1 minute later – just walked off.

I’d done literally nothing wrong or spoken out of turn so I had a drink and sat for a while and then put everything out and came in. Had no intention of going to bed so watched a couple of episodes of the Jack Ryan series and then bed at midnight, thankfully didn’t wake Tash.

It was so fucking hard today, I get people getting bored but she’s just contradicting herself so badly. Moaning that she doesn’t feel like she’s had a break because of having to cook or weave or do household jobs (which she pushes herself to do) and if she was told she was going back to work in a week or two she’d be pissed off because it’s not been like a holiday…but then I did say that had she just watched TV or lounged around (which wouldn’t bother us) then she’d moan that she’d wasted the day.

Really, really hard work!
