I really ought to stay in bed...
Yesterday was one of those days. I woke up at 4:30, feeling shattered, and couldn’t really get properly back to sleep again. Perfectly correct words in my head were transformed into garbage by the time the reached my lips or the whiteboard, I ended up leaving work later than I wanted, so had a mad dash to get home in time to put my bike away before going to get the children from the After School Club. So far, so run-of-the-mill, ordinary tedium and frustration. It only started getting seriously annoying once we got home from French Club. Firstly I realised that I’d left my book at the house where the French Club is held. This was a disaster! I was on page 513. I’d just learnt that he had proposed… (I’m reading Charlotte Bronte’s Shirley – a very strong contender for my favourite book of all time.) So I tried to phone M-G to check the book was there. Then I found my phone messages – first one for my father who had been staying, second one from our dentist’s receptionist to tell me that someone had phoned her saying that they’d found my purse. My immediate reaction was that that was ridiculous, I hadn’t lost my purse. But then I looked for it, and it wasn’t there, and it wasn’t there either, or there… So I phoned the number I’d been given, and John went out after dinner and picked it up for me, fully intact, nothing missing, and it’s clear from our account that no cards have been misused. It must have fallen out of my bicycle pannier on the way to work – and Mr C must have found it within minutes. Hurrah for honest people! (I believe that most people are honest, it’s just that we feel the effects of the dishonest ones more keenly.)
So with all that palaver I didn’t set off in time to get to the KTog 5th birthday party as it started, which had been my plan. However I did make it there and I did crochet a slug

oh, what a day. I’m so glad that you still managed to make it yesterday evening: how do you manage to look so relaxed despite all that? and I love your sea slug, which is awaiting a photo shoot for the group blog.rosie () (link) - 20 March '08 - 19:41
Wow, what a day! I think that’s enough excitement. Shirley, eh? A Bronte I haven’t read? (Well, actually I think I’ve just read the two Biggies. Must remedy.)And your crocheted slug? (pictures!)

Good grief, I’m impressed you made it to the end of the day, I don’t think I would have! Love the sound of the crochet slugs! And that’s amazing about the purse, thank goodness for nice people.Daisy () (link) - 24 March '08 - 21:35
