Time to catch up with the internet – sometimes life gets in the way of the important stuff!

The unending saga of the non-cold continues – I have lost my voice. We completely missed out the stage when it sounds husky-sexy and it just isn’t working at all. I still feel absolutely fine, tip top and full of beans but I sound dreadful. And I am a talker so this is really cramping my style. I was supposed to be trailing round places chatting to peops today but had to knock that one on the head – such a pain. I am supposed to be playing a part in a murder mystery play tomorrow and it’s starting to look like it might not the best idea in the world.

Stuff happens.

The other day our next door neighbour – a bit of a fruit loop – had water gushing out and overflowing from the pipe at the front of the house; it went on for hours and was coming from her bathroom. Eventually I had to persuade to hubby to go round and check things out. He was somewhat reluctant as he had visions of her being dead in the bath – in his line of work that’s not a novelty. He was gone for ages. When he eventually reappeared he said that all was now well, a simple problem, the pipe at the back of the house was leaking so she had been running the bath to ease the problem and fell asleep and forgot about it. It’s frightening to think how much water that wasted – we could have bathed a small elephant and still have some left over for a water balloon. She’s a bit of a liability really, she fell asleep cooking salmon one day and it took days for the smell to dissipate – from OUR house.

And then we have the small problem of trying to talk the mater out of joining a transvestite special interest group……….
