The weekly weigh-in. My
weight remains constant at about the fourteen stone mark. I suspect
the major pig-outs at last week's camp did little for any possible
weight loss this week. But I'm happy with my weight remaining
constant. The overall trend is downwards. As long as weight's not
going back on, I shall remain content.
The morning post brought
a letter from the pension people. It would seem that my recent
tribulations haven't affected my pension anywhere near as badly as I
originally feared, and so gave me more cause to smile. The same post
also brought a pile of business cards which I'd secured really
cheaply from the Internet for tomorrow's stall at which I shall tout
the merchandise of Badger-Original-Landscapes-Bespoke-artwork (dot
com).
Yesterday I mentioned
that I'd completed the first draft of a short story I've written for
a competition. This morning I shaved some excess words off of it so
it's now the correct word length. "Daddies Little Angel TM"
had the honour of having the first read. I don't think it was an
honour she fully appreciated as she fell about laughing over the
opening line. I didn't think it was *that* sarcastic.
We popped to the bank
this morning. It was good. There was an epically-breasted young lady
with a rather revealing dress who was practising what I can only
describe as a "these are my knockers" pose. I was
impressed(!)
And then on to the farm.
Last weekend we'd camped and left the tents up. Today they were
(mostly) dry and a couple of hours' work got them taken down
and packed away. The Rear Admiral's tent might need a little
maintenance before it's used again; but then again, couldn't we all?
Home again, and we
collected in the catalogues I touted out on Tuesday. Some interest -
someone wants to work for us touting catalogues on a sub-contracting
basis. That's nice. And then after a quick shower we set off to East
Malling for Denver and Jo's wedding reception. The bride looked
radiant; brides always do. The groom looked vaguely harassed. As is
the way of the world.
Meanwhile I have the tune
of "Suburban
Homeboy" by Sparks stuck in my head.....
