OK…thanks everyone for the comments on my last post, which was a tad on the serious side, I know. That might be because I’ve been bottling it up through a mixture of shame, embarrassment, worry about what anyone will think, panic re the legal case…..and many other reasons.
The death of my brain, and the death of my marriage (though it had been a zombie for some time).
Yes, ill again…I am now up to Stage 2 Sickness Disciplinary at work as well. Not only do I feel like death, but I might lose my job too. Yippee. Shouldn’t even be here today really, but what choice do I have? Managed to spend the last 6 days in bed with a lovely kidney infection, deep joy. Thought it was a migraine, but no… spent from Tuesday night to Saturday in bed, then Saturday to Monday doing an Elizabeth Barret Browning on the sofa (we don’t have a chaise-longue).
Tah dah! Shock, horror, front page story.Put the bunting out and let off the skyrockets….
MY PARENTS LIKE MY BOYFRIEND!!!!!
Now, this is a complete first. All the planets were against it, the stars were even in an anti-junction. This is a completely unknown quantity.
Unless they go to visit my mother that is. In the guise of a nice grey-haired little old lady, whilst sipping tea from china cups in her pastel chintz-covered living room, any unfortunate visitor is subjected to a barrage of questions that the Gestapo would be hard pressed to come up with. I’m surprised she doesn’t ask for blood samples and mitochondrial DNA when she is making you take your shoes off at the front door.
A la Mr SC, I’m just going to highlight a few things I’ve been reading lately….a few I’ve read before, and a few that I’ve been newly introduced to…..First up has to be Mr Spicy Cauldron himself, with his post about being banned in China! Wahay! I am…..
It’s official…according to Mr Spicy Cauldron- and I’ve checked- I am banned in China!
I just have to refer you to this post of Ye Yo’s ‘A Message to Joe Q Public’ which is also referenced by Mr Spicy Cauldron in his Creme de Bloggers 3
What is the most popular post on my site? You might say pieces of creative writing, or the story of my recent legal tussles abroad…
The answer is penguins. A flip piece that I put up about the penguins and my sanity a while ago. ‘One by One the Penguins are stealing my Sanity’ Alas for literature and protest…Penguins.
Wahay! By some good news received by friends today (which was only right and just but we were all very apprehensive about), it appears that that rare species, tThe Fairy of Good Things may be back in town…about time, if you ask me….just when we were all wondering if 2007 was going to be more of an Annus Horribilis than 2006. Now, if she could just pop down to Morecambe, where her presence has been sorely missed recently…….
