Father update: according to Mother, he's doing really well and will probably be released from hospital in the near future. He's asking her to go to Marks and Spencer and buy him a pair of summer slacks for him to wear whilst convalescing, which can only be a good thing!
I'm sure the recent stress is driving me around the bend. Firstly, I just wasn't myself today, I snapped at my colleague Matty and ribbed him mercilessly about his turn ups. I also suprised Mr A with a bottle of wine and two plastic glasses at lunchtime when we ventured to a sunny St James's Park. The wine was potent; the sun was hot which made me feel rather odd. We took a turn around the lake and I grabbed Mr A and kissed him passionately by the wartime kitchen garden tableau, which surprised him somewhat, but he didn’t complain too loudly!
Back in the office I decided to clean out my desk drawer by hurling all of my information management manuals into the paper recycling and re-arranged my stationery in my pencil palace. Mr A bought me a strong coffee at 2:30pm, which was nice of him!
This evening I decided to throw caution to the wind and go on a shopping spree to the west end. I went a bit crazy and bought a new jersey jacket from Next (£38), a black leather bag from Jones the Bootmaker (£120) and a pair of silver Mayari Birkenstocks (£49!) To top it off, I went to McDonalds where I consumed a huge chocolate milkshake, came home, logged on and spent more money online – a Boden Bag if you please!
I’m locking up my credit card and am going to bed now. Mother will go mad when she finds out as she always goes through my monthly accounts with a fine toothcomb to ensure that I’m not wasting my salary on ‘fripperies’ – what would she say?
