And thank you, Jack for your kind advice as to the word count. I'm sorely tempted, I must admit. Never mind. The work is well on its way now; has kept within the wretched limit, been checked by Mr M, and is now tucked away to rest for a few days. Though 'days,' may stretch to a week here, as most spare time from now on is going to be taken up by 'Joseph'.
Ms M seems to be over her heavy arm (caused by the typhoid jab). Could be worse - BF, who was in Uganda last year and who'll be trekking around S America this, had to have a rabies shot! Let's hope none of it ends in tears. And while we're at it, our supply of tea bags has shrunk alarmingly, to the extent that I've told Ms M he'll have to put up with green tea with ecchinacea until I next get to the shops. They went off to the 'the other' town today, ostensibly to house hunt. Not much doing on that front atm. Unfortunately, Ms M - who's been short of a spare time job since she left Anita Roddick's Emporium, was thrilled to find out that a certain well-known chain of ladies' ahem... umm...how do I say this? Begins with an A, ends with an S (think tupperware parties - not! ;)) is looking for summer sales assistants, and she's collected an application form! What did we do to deserve this?! I blame myself for getting her a library ticket at 14 months old. Or maybe it was all that one to one intelligent conversation that did it. ( We even had a back facing buggy so that she could keep my happy, smiling face in view all the time). No doubt someone, somewhere will blame her potty training. And she must be the only baptised, confirmed (if lapsed ) member of the C of E to.... Oh the shame! I've an inkling now of how my father must have felt when my brother (same name, same place of work) once stood for the All Nite Party!
Passing from the sublime to the ridiculous - I was honoured, thrilled and delighted to receive a form letter this morning from the organiser of a certain well-known Christian exhibition that I went to last week - a certain Mr Brett J Pitchfork! Yes, really! It made my weekend.
