Congestion At 29 Degrees

Hello there!

That time of the week again! Time goes by so quickly.

This week something very unexpected happened. We both fell victim to the latest viral infestation and were reduced to snivelling, congested lumps. The major downside to this was that I succumbed to the "Great Summer Cold of 2010" on the hottest day of the year so far. With my low grade fever and bright red nose, lying in the garden was out of the question. Instead I took to feeling enormously sorry for myself and mourning the loss of the skin on, and under my nose.

Bad times.

I took to layering moisturiser under my nose 10 times a day to try and encourage the skin to calm down. This meant that on numerous occasions I forgot myself and travelled whilst wearing it to the supermarket. I took the stares as a sign I was definitely looking better than I felt. So naive.

Another two impressive falls from grace have occurred this week.

The other day I spotted a lady walking through Nailsea precinct with her skirt tucked into her knickers. Having walked the entire length of the 6th form common room at school having done the same thing myself, I know how mortifying it is. In my efforts to chase the woman, my own jeans came loose and I ended up mooning everyone unfortunate enough to be in the vicinity at the time. I suppose I saved her blushes by creating a suitable distraction with my own...

I locked myself in again. Twice in as many weeks now. I've now taken to charting my keys throughout the day to avoid similar mishaps in future! There's only so many times you can use the same excuse before people start to wonder!!!

House move preparations continue apace. I have twice packed the cat after she snuck into boxes when I wasn't looking, and the lovely home we have now looks very bare and uninspiring! Still, it will be a wonderful place for all the new memories of the people who live here next and we are really looking forward to the challenge ahead of us!

Until next time.........
