Two struggles on

Is Thursday and Two is still severely incapacitated by Bad Back. He is once again prone on sofa, and is adding new expressions of anguish to his already considerable repertoire. The latest is best described thus; long-drawn out groan of agony, as in 'arrrgh, arrrgh, arrgh', followed by highly impressive interpretation of tetanic spasm, complete with horrible rictus expression, in manner reminiscent of one who has imbibed strychnine. ( I watch a lot of Miss Marple). Occasionally Two suffers Major Twinge whilst standing, during which he somewhat unnervingly fixes me with gimlet eye and baleful glare, as if is my fault. Feel compelled to adopt expression of extreme concern and proffer help, which is rejected with irritable wave of hand. He has just levered himself upright and is standing more or less upright, gazing vacantly around room. 'What are you looking for' I venture. I can almost see his mind wavering about like a piece of cobweb. 'I don't know' he admits, and with Huge Sigh, lowers himself gingerly back onto sofa. Cue Long Drawn Out Groan of Agony, and wait for it............yes- here comes the Piece de Resistance- The Horrible Horrible Tetanic Spasm with Rictus. Must find contact number for Producer of Miss Marple.
