Wednesday 16th May
Tried racquet ball this morning, opposition was gentle with
me, I was pleased I could play a bit, although forgotten rules, tactics and
most of any ‘skills’ I thought I had learnt!
Took daughter for hospital appointment, sure you can get
away with sitting in the corridor, eating crisps and drinking mugs of
peppermint tea while wearing a bright turquoise bandana….(kind lady at shop
gave me second hot water for free!)
Son no 1 suggests I buy some large gold hoop earrings, carry
a basket (with lavender in) and start telling peoples fortunes, he says I’m a
dead cert for a Romany gypsy!
Rested in my lovely sunny conservatory this afternoon,
before a surprise text inviting me to partake in a little tennis, how could I refuse?
You know that lovely lady on the TV who can sing so
beautifully but has suffered from alopecia all her life? She is so pretty and
has such a perfect shaped head; well that’s not me…….
Imagine, if you will an albino hedgehog (or a malteser, as
one kind ‘friend’ commented) that has a bad case of scabies, and that pretty
much sums up the state of my bald pate, (with stubble)!!
“The proper office of a friend is to side with you when you
are in the wrong. Nearly everybody will side with you when you are in the
right. Mark Twain
You say all that, yet you still look beautiful and colour coordinated and gorgeous. I could learn a thing or two from you, but you know I won't. You did have earings in yesterday, which did give a certain 'je ne sais quoi' (Steve...help!) the gypsy look about you, but the lavender and basket? I was robbed of all my money in Mallorca by one of those blasted women, so if I saw you coming down our road with that I'd run a mile (well no, I wouldn't, I'd walk)xx
