A very tasty Rioja, thanks, Cheryl. I’d forgotten I had it on top of the cupboard. I have to confess that I don’t think I’ll need that vaccuum pump thingy for the rest of the bottle. (Anyone got a blushing emoticon?)
90210, BringItOn is on her way, sorry for hogging her, though I think she was one of twins. Or octuplets, given the number of us who are using them! PositiveThinking and all the other good fairies are busy arranging a surprise par… ooops, have I said too much?
Trip, your militant pixies ain’t got NUFFINK on mine, I reckon mine will have taught yours all they know and kept a bit back for themselves. I really am a big coward and a total pushover most of the time until someone pushes me over the edge and then… well they’d better watch out whoever they are– you’ve already seen me rampaging round the woods with the meat cleaver, you should know what I mean. Good grief, I even scared off the Results Monster! (Thank you all for capturing him and tying him down long enough for me to give him a stern talking-to before sending him trotting back to my consultant with his sorry tail between his legs.)
SCACO – the bucket is red, so in the absence of a red hat, the bucket will have to do. It clashes beautifully with my purple cardie. (No, seriously, I DO have a purple cardie, which I will hunt out and make sure I wear to tomorrow’s meeting. No-one but you lot and me will know why I’m wearing it, it really is a horrible garment and makes me look like I’ve been punched in the face and definitely doesn’t suit my colouring…)
Peachez, I also got a telling off for reading about my babies in my notes. The lady who came over to talk to me just said something along the lines of “I don’t think you should be reading those,” to which I replied “whyever not, I’m reading about my babies.” I didn’t realise at first that I was being told off so I just carried on reading, exclaiming that I’d forgotten how much my last baby had weighed at birth, as I’ve had four and I swear at least a third of your brain is removed with each placenta… I reckon you’re pretty close to me, perhaps we can meet up for a coffee, as you’ve mentioned a few places that are VERY close to me. I’ll send you a PM.
Ali, I’m sorry, by the time I got to your post, I’m already most of the way round the outside of that lovely Rioja (such a lightweight!) so all I can say is, good to see you back. Hope you’re enjoying your “good” week and best of luck for Friday. Might even let you borrow my bucket!
Thinking about it, I’m probably going to need that bucket myself. I’m a total lightweight and that Rioja has hardly touched the sides!
asked me if I was allergic to alchohol. ‘Oh no, I can still manage the odd gin’ i replied. A pause followed…Actually, he said, I was thinking more along the lines of an alcholic wipe. But he did commend me for my perseverence of continuing with the odd snifter.
