Bear and Tots are out doing what passes for 'camping' nowadays with son'o'mine at Ingomells for a couple of days. Laddo says that she's very much in demand for Karaoke.
"I can sing, can't I Dray? she asked on the phone. Actually sweet heart, you can. Despite being 80% deaf, she really does have the voice of an angel. One of these days I'm going to have to post a clip of her singing. She really is very good. Understatement. And I'm not saying that just because she's my missus.
I went alone to the shop a few hours ago. I will never, ever, do that again.
It was ok going down the field, and when I got there, the shop keeper said "Oh, Dray, you bloody idiot, you should have phoned!" which was a bit of a surprise. I needn't have been. I'd forgotten how strong and inclusive the bonds are in the Pakistani community. If I did phones, they told me, they really would have delivered, free of charge, however small.
The way back was really tough. Uphill all the way. I'm not ashamed to say I was in tears when I got back. Stupid idiot fruggin' body. It's not like I could plonk my arse, because that would mean trying to stand up again.
I grabbed a couple of hours sleep, then I've had a steady stream of neighbours bending my ear. O.k. I get it, bless 'em. Amazing.
But I did it. I did :)

Well done, don't overdo it, but well done!

Thanks RLS. Life without purpose is no life at all I guess :)
