    ^ Chance would be a fine thing!

    And I was fully clad in underwear AND shorts...but these buggers still find a way in.

    Having seen the state of your underwear, I'm not surprised!

    I can't work out whether that's a compliment or not... but as it's from you Cyrille I'm sure it's well meant!


    Anyway... a follow up from Thursday's moan... after a couple of recesses the bladdy daughter annihilated me today. After landing on Mayfair with a hotel twice I got 'Advance to Pallmall' (with a hotel) and then Piccadilly (with a hotel) finally cleaned me out. I even did some dodgy dealings and told her that Liverpool St Station was easily worth 2000 quid...the cost of landing on Mayfair with a hotel.

    There's nothing worse than being beat at Monopoly by a ten year-old girl.

    Well, not an insult, certainly.

    Ozzy's OK.

    I spoke with my 9yr old grand niece today. She is in a hospital in Udon Thani recovering from an operation to remove a large cyst growing close to her spine. It's been 3 weeks since the op now and results of the biopsy are not due until 23 July. Anyway, she now has another lump growing between neck and collarbone. Painless and slow growing but very worrying. She has a fever every couple of days or so and a blood infection of some sort. Doctors and nurses have been wonderful, it's not a private hospital but several grades above the normal Thai ones in the provinces.
    Keeping my fingers crossed this isn't cancer...

    I think there is a god. And he's an absolute cvnt. If everything was random , then everything would be 50/50. But it isn't. It requires devine intervention for things to be this bad.

    Ants have invaded my front windows and wall, must have vacuumed a couple of hundred up tonight.

    I blame the hottest day of the year here, but fook...they had wings.

    Fasting before a hospital checkup in the morning.

    Wittle Edweena comes downstairs at 10pm asking if I can make toasted butter croissant and fried bacon.

    Edith's ears pop up and requests the same.


    Frying bacon, inhaling its perfect aroma, hearing the perfect sizzling pops, observing the glistening, melting fat, while unable to scoff it by the handful is simply torturous.

    Surely, just a morsel won't do any harm ...

    ^OOh, that sucks. We are definitely going to be in person this September, but parents who don't want to send their children, have the option of learning online.

    I can't do anymore online teaching. I am teaching a three week summer school online, which is finishing this Friday! My butt hurts from sitting! lol
