Tonight I decided to take up drinking gin and tonics (note the pluralisation of tonic as recognition of the synergy between gin and tonic). So I went shopping. I bought almonds, chocolate (for my mother), tonic water, soda water (for my father), that fancy lime cordial that isn't bright green, and gin. Now my gin is cooling. And my tonic is cooling. And tomorrow it's supposed to be 42 degrees (celsius my friends, celsius!). So I will be prepared. Should I have a rehearsal tonight? Hmmm it sounds like a wise move.

Like Maddie, I also have an owie story. I don't think it's quite as good. But I didn't swear either. Yesterday when I was sitting down at the table to read the paper, my toe found its way under the leg of the chair. So a chair leg that was as heavy as me but with a much smaller footprint, came down on my toe. It hurt. But unlike Maddie I did not donate any toe to the chair. I did give it some words of wisdom however.
