So it Goes
Yesterday afternoon at a certain Premiership fixture somewhere in England, a particular
player had an easy-ish shot on goal. He missed. As a result the following chant could be heard from the opposition supporters: "Score in a hotel? You couldn't score in hotel" to the tune of Guantanamera. I told you they wouldn't be able to arrest 1,000s or, indeed, shut them up.
Dearest's last Sunday afternoon drinky poos for a while so we've convinced the landlord to lay on curry and chips for us all later. Quite a few of the Sunday club should be there plus assorted kids and their mates. No doubt I will once again leave at a fairly early hour leaving Dearest chatting with Eldest and Youngest. Normally I come home to cook the meal but I should think the curry will be enough tonight.
Then it's time for the run in to D-Day. Dearest goes in hospital at 2:00pm on Wednesday. The Op takes place the next day. She has been told by the surgeon that she cannot lift anything heavier than Half a kettle of water for the next six weeks. After that she can increase it to a full kettle. She will also have to take it easy walking at first.
"You should set yourself a target. A distance that you aim to walk each day".
"That'll be easy" I said, "Your first target will be the pub and back".
I was reading some lad-mag that was lying around at work the other day. In it was a letters page where people wrote in with tales of daft things their significant others had done or said. Two caught my eye.
The first was from a bloke who was watching a wildlife documentary on TV with his partner. Somewhere in Africa a rhino had been sedated and the gamekeepers were busy sawing the horn off it. It was explained that this was done to protect the rhino from poachers who believed that the horn was an aphrodisiac. They would be quite happy to kill it just to get the horn.
"Well I don't care what the poachers think" said the girlfriend, "It's still very cruel chopping its horn off. I mean....how's it going to catch its prey now ?"
The second was from a guy who took his girlfriend to the zoo. For the first time in her life she actually saw a penguin in the flesh.
"My God aren't they small?"
"Why how big did you think they were ?"
"Oh I don't know, I always just assumed they'ld be the same size as us."
