Wah! Wah!
Yes, I sit down and cry... You must have guessed from my 'balancing act' post that things were getting pretty hairy around the Stephens writing cave- and I don't mean just my legs!
You see, I go away tomorrow, and the lovely lady who makes sure we all have clean knickers isn't well. Dashed over on mercy mission... meanwhile cottage slowly becoming a health risk, what with minimus home for 'A' levels, and Wiggy, having 'partner' angst, home too... Had to get book in sometime this side of heaven, so I couldn't stop-
Got up at 5 yesterday- yes, I mean morning, only to have husband arrive at 7pm, loudly demanding 'What't to eat?
Ever felt like strangling someone, ladies?
Brief moments of pleasure yesterday when I took out my almost 87 year old friend- Book, or Aunty Kay...?
Hmmm.
Yes, girls, I want to see that happy resolution for my frantic H and h, but sometimes the waiting makes it all the better?! And in this case, you'll excuse me because Aunty Kay bought not one, but two new outfits, proving, 'Once a gal' always a gal!' On the way home we chatted about the days when she used to go 'jitterbugging' in her glad rags... Good on ya! Aunty Kay... Love You XXX
To make matters worse back home, I bought a piece of high-tech gear while we were out... On the point of throwing it at the wall, I finally accepted help from minimus and Wiggy- but even they couldn't get the damn thing to work.
Over to son, who by this time had to 'talk down' a tearful, and furious mother... Oh, how time moves on! I was sobbing, he was calm and reasonable on the other end of the telephone line... And so the child becomes the parent...?
Well, that's it... thanks to getting up at half-past three this morning, book is about to wing its way to my ed', and now I'm ready to start writing lists: vet's number, neighbours number, friends' numbers etc etc etc Then I'll go shopping to stock them all up for the weekn with masses of food.. And yes, you'll be relieved to hear, I shaved my legs!
Ta Ta England, Buon Giorno Sardinia!
Love to all, and remember, I'll be back soon!
Happy reading everyone!
