Yes, it's over a year since I've written any entries to my blog - I can't really explain why, but I just didn't feel the need to put finger to keyboard as it were. Well, it's that and the fact that I physically couldn't - I developed a severe reaction to the paper we were using for archive documents at work and as a result my hands swelled up to three times their normal size and I was unable to carry on with my daily life, let alone do anything else. Wilf, initially was very helpful, but he's long gone now; he's now moved to the south coast and has found employment as a mobile clown, which is useful because his feet are naturally a size 13 and by purchasing his normal size for work, he's able to write them off against tax as 'an essential part of a funny man's apparel'.
Mother, having returned from abroad, suffered a stroke and now lives in a nursing home two bus rides away. I can't say that I miss her much as her continual moaning used to get me down. Father is still residing within the earthworm community - he wriggles around from place to place and I believe that he and his colleagues are propagating soil on the Leicestershire plains at the moment.
I went to BHS today to buy Mother a new outfit - my word, it's depressing in there! I managed to purchase a pair of navy blue tailored blue slacks with a half-elasticated waist, a cream top and a pink jumper. She'll hate them of course, that's just her - ungrateful to the core. I was amazed quite how many tank tops/sweater vests are sold in that shop and the sale rail contained a pair of 52inch waisted men's trousers - yum! I wonder if I'll ever date a man quite that large?
