h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Drama today but we were late. I slept in, probably because I was awakened by a coughing fit at 5.00am. Don't know why I started coughing, perhaps I swallowed a spider or maybe the cold air just got to my throat but I coughed and coughed until I could cough no more. Used my inhalers, got myself a drink, had a smoke and another little coughing fit and half an hour later I was back to sleep - just didn't waken up until 9.50.

In the afternoon daughter went into the city centre to the continental market. I went over to the East to my nephew's new house. He picked up the key on Thursday and he was in today to strip some paper and prepare for the painters who're arriving on Monday. The house is lovely, nice big driveway, garage, kitchen, two sitting rooms, two toilets, one bathroom and four bedrooms. His sister had rented his flat in London for some years but has recently moved in with her boyfriend and earlier this month she got engaged so nephew had no need to keep the flat. He sold it rather quickly and because it was in a prime location in over-priced London he was able to purchase the house with his profit. Lucky young man will be living mortgage free.

Tonight daughter is staying with a friend. The friend lives just around the corner so it'll be no trouble to get her tomorrow morning.

What a lovely relaxing day - the first in a while.

Maybe a visit is in order,dear ???

Good to see that otherwise you had a chance to rest, and maybe smile once or twice today.

Oooh, must get to the continental market myself!

There was an old lady who swallowed a fly....

/me wishes she had a decent market here
