Life in general

Am sitting festooned with Extremely Large Rollers waiting for hair to dry. Two has gone to gym to be induced, (sounds faintly obscene). He will then no doubt play on the machines, and arrive back in state of near collapse. Has purchased horrible knee length blue shorts and also ordered new trainers for this enterprise. Obviously taking it very seriously. Seeing as he sprained his wrist lifting the kettle recently, I am not overly optimistic about his Fitness Level. He has been sporting a bandage over the afflicted area (any excuse), and has another adorning his knee which is Giving Him Pain. I am meeting old friend from Down South this afternoon for chin-wag in local cafe. She comes up occasionally to visit her daughter, so we Seize the Opportunity for chat. Having recently attended funeral of another friend, am feeling people are being Plucked From Me. She died quite quickly from cancer, and I shall miss her perky voice on telephone, and quirky sense of humour. Is very sad.

On lighter (or oranger) note, my face has become quite brown round the edges in manner of over-cooked pastry. I say brown, is really light orange. Hair still resolutely brown/grey/blonde combination. Need to address this. Am still awaiting delivery of treble recorder so can merrily pipe out tunes and infuriate neighbours. Saturday night at pub was a bit dire last week. Very Drunk Lady seized microphone from hapless singer, and began serenading us untunefully for some considerable time. Became very painful. When she launched into 'The Day the
Music Died', we nodded meaningfully at each other and vacated the bar. Proper singer was majorly pissed off, as well he might be.
