New door bell system awoke me, a parcel being delivered. Needed signing for, so Mel did the honours. I struggled down the stairs looking vaguely like George Clooney on a bad day, to find the parcel was for me. I opened it and found it to contain Mel's birthday pressie which I had ordered well in advance to avoid the increase in prices around Xmas, and the possibility of it not being delivered by striking postal workers.
The it was off to jolly old work, with my Gabriella's laptop, in case i bump into the professor who can fix all such things.
Nice journey and a parking space on arrival, whereupon I staggered up the stairs and into the office. Two pc's and three of us in the office means I sat around for an hour chatting about social matters. Karen popped in and wanted to talk about the kidney cancer charity she is supporting with her marathons this year. She is a vertically challenged person who has already raised a large sum of money for charity, and I think she is brilliant. She is on a mission now that she has this link with me, and is really looking forward to running the London Marathon now she got in on the Kidney Cancer charity this year. We will be going up to support her with food and drink. Then another arrived and one left, and I had my pc back to use.

Opened an email, got an invite to the MPH show at earls court, but have to decline anything that involves a bit of walking, even if I was sorely tempted. I enjoy Jeremy Clarkson's sense of humour, and I like looking at exotic cars so it was a bit of a shame as I would have had a good time. Never mind, I am going to watch the England v Australia rugby match at Twickenham next month with my Gabriella, and that should make up for this. Not sure if she is up for a few beers yet. What's the legal age limit for beer? Is it the same as homosexuality?
Popped round to the Prof's house and he took said defective laptop with a view to rebuilding it, and dropped Gary off at the station on way. Arrived home before uni daughter Rosanna who took offence to my description of her attire, objection to bag lady being the crux of the matter. This then involved Mel, as she came down against me on this one. I have been asked not to discuss style again as my comments are not welcome. Not my finest hour, especially as Rosanna has almost finished a painting of a deceased dog as a commission for a kind lady, and I wanted to praise her up right now.
Big tree at front of house is coming down next week. Rev Will Cookson wants the fuel for his fire, so he can collect it when he comes back from Israel the week after it is felled.
All in all, a good day today, concrete lung felt a bit lighter and no pain killers were used in the writing of this blog. The picture is of Mel holding Samara at 6 days old.

Samara was crying like a banshee at the time.
Okay, first who is the pretty blonde lady and how does the baby relate to you?
ReplyDeleteSecond, what is the MPH show and how come you get an invite and I haven't?
And third, Whisky? Are you serious? Single malt or blended?
