Was it daffodils you wanted?

Oooooo ya bugger . . . I' m walloped, right worn out. Almost too tired to type . . . What a busy day. Cleaned the twenty-five hamsters out and cooked caulifower cheese with roasted winter vegetables. Definitely one of the kids favourites and one of the hamsters favourites too as they get loads of raw veg . . . Bless their whiskers. Hamper G (called hamper girl as she used to call the hamsters- hampers), has a real way with these dwarf Roborovskis who are notoriously fast, hard to catch and even harder to keep hold of. She kind of cradles them lying on their backs in the palm of her hand with her thumb across their bodies and they seem to relax and "sit" there for ages, even to the point of falling asleep . . .Then she will carry on going about her business with the "hamper" in her hand. I realised how much I'd missed chatting with them all in the last two weeks whilst I've been mainly upstairs . . . It was good to catch up with them.

Went down to the bank to find out why they haven't sorted out Stropster's account yet  . . . They'll get back to me. Took my medical number to the dentist so they can refer me to hospital and shocked saw  my drugs worker . . .  She didn't even want a urine sample to prove it, she could tell by my eyes. Needless to say (but I'll say it anyway) she was very happy for me. She was also very surprised . . . She even said "It's a bit like a miracle really" Yes. I said. It is. I stopped myself  from saying "As performed by God" lest I catch that "O here we go with an addiction  transference . . . let's see how long this one lasts " look in her eye . . .  I did say that a lot of good little things had started to happen since I stopped and she asked me "Have you heard of the law of attraction?" something about good attracting and causing more good  . . . I said "No. Is that a new thing?" . . . O alright, I didn't say that really, I said "O, right, I get it . . . That sounds good" :-) My Dad used to say "If you plant daffodils . . . don't be surprised when daffodils pop up".

She did say "You  might do well to delete your dealer's number from your phone" . . . I said "It's in my head, not my phone". Anyway, taking any number of those precautions is pointless because if you did want to use again you would . . . With or without phone numbers, money, phone credit or lungs.

Other news? Ermmm, . . . Yeah I was asleep again there. Tomorrow will be good. Homemade lamb curry with naan bread. I hope you're all well and good. O bed . . . I love bed when I'm so tired. Happy days and dreams . . . I'm gone x

Sorted!



Sorted! I made the effort to go to Bro's house, laugh in the right places, admire photos on phone (that I  couldn't even see) of his mother-in-law's latest Grandchild, Oooh and ahh in all the right places, thank her muchly for the eau de toilette "Heaven scent" Geddit? O dear. I shouldn't take the piss  . . .  but sometimes I can't help myself. I also couldn't help myself noticing on my way to bro's house that "The man's" car was back. Despite my text saying  "Please text me the minute you get back" . . . Nothing. So as soon as I got in Bros' house I text him to say I had  noticed the car was back? . . . O yeah (Babe) pop round !?!  (I forgot you had been waiting 48hrs -  Soz Babe) Well yes I can see how its easy to forget these things when you're concentrating on running a beetle the size of a £2 coin up and down a foot long sheet of foil. But it did make things somewhat less painful knowing a cure was literally "just round the corner". Amazing how quickly I/any addict recover/s when the end of suffering is in sight. O yes, suddenly very animated and sociable aren't we? Within half an hour of leaving Bro's house, the idea of two hours in a hot kitchen, doing a roast to beat all roasts seemed like the perfect challenge :-) . . . And if I say so myself it was mighty fine. Possibly the best gravy I have ever made. Delishioso. Rinsed down with a few glasses of merlot . . . A couple of Baileys on ice to chase a few Lindt chocs . . . Now a few lines. And a few more chocs Per fect tion. I'm easily pleased really. Totally satisfied. Seems like a good place to bid you all goodnight . . . and may your dreams be sweet. There's bugger all on Telly . . . A good time for a tune . . . I'll pop back if decide on one.
