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

You have GOT to get out more...or keep a list of computory type abbreviations or something....

"G G" = Gotta Go, and not no matter how well meaning the pun!

Yes... it was a nice surprise; an ex turned up - the one who has custody of Bootsie - to catch up on his doings, and to see how I was after my op, bless him. He's nice to see occasionally, but he DOES fuss and witter a lot. He turned 50 in January... he is still with his current girlfriend, who I have discovered is.... 74.


I think I'm well out of that one, somehow. I don't mind being middle aged (ish) but if I'd have stayed there I would have been an honorory pensioner by now....

Ah yes - you've told me about him


different eh!

One of a kind, bless him!

A sweet person, but better off by far with someone a little less ebullient!

He came to see what to get Liam for his 18th!

I said a brewery.

ebullient



A brewery run by an Australian blond would be best

Did I mention the ex was a bit on the tight side with the wallet?

A brewery is pushing it a little!


If I save hard enough I may be able to send Liam to Australlia to find his own barmaid.......I take it you meant a "blonde" (female) as opposed to a blond (male)? Liam has a few strange litttle ways, but I don't think he'd qualify for a blond!


Mind you... it'd only be TO Australlia....

PS I thought "ebullient" was a good description, myself....

ebullient was spot on


and yes - I realise that Liam would prefer the female variety - 'spect he's exhausted the local ones by now?

Well...

he looks tired and happy.....

fair enough - though maybe thats the gardening

...

He's been looking tired and happy l-o-n-g before he started the job!

lucky guy!!!

Likewise Tom, too.

I must be using the wrong shampoo or something

crickey - maybe I ought to move down to your area

You'll have to join the queue with the rest of the boys admirers, then... although I did say that despite Liam's funny litttle ways blokes arn't his thing!

(None too sure about the other lad tho....- and I'm not joking about that, either. I think, any day now, I'll be sat down and have a confession made, somehow.)

Are you SURE you'd want to move to this area? I found out the other day, Hernia Bay is the new Eastbourne,inasmuch as it's now been dubbed "God's Waiting Room"!


I'm hoping to re housed in Canterbury (tho knowing my luck it'll be Whitstable

Although, having visited mum, I think I'm going to have to move a bit closer to her, once the lads have moved on. Not an enviable thing to have to do, but whatever else, she IS my mum.

How's yours, btw? Any joy on the house selling or the dictaphone?

At least Canterbury is a bit more kudo-ish, sortofthing

I could do with the peace and quiet - except for the busy hearses

Canturbury's nice - 'specially Nasons

Where nearer to your mum? Maybe nearer to the bus stop would be better

Mines ok - Sold the house - forgot to get somewhere to move to though

Canterbury's cool - went there last week and "did" The Tales... and its exitpoint was... yup, you guessed it - Nasons!

Its been modernised a bit since you were there last, I'd imagine - not Nasons, the whole of the town... mega new shops and buildings in the town centre.


Gawd know "where" nearer to mum.. but the chances of persuading her to move down nearer to me is minus several million to one and increasing!

Glad to hear your mam's house went thru - where's she going to go? You can't expect her to live in a cardboard box on the side of the road....

MY mum... possibly,but yours sounds sweet!

There's too much peace and quiet around here - I reckon you'd get bored after a while!

Good morning!
I'm sure Shhh would never get bored ..not with you as a neighbour ev!!!
As for the expected sit down talk....it ain't that bad love.......really.

Hallo you!

Mised ya -sorry; I was sidletracked cutting out stencils for my chests - metaphorically speaking.* Painted up the templates with turps and somethin equally maloderous, hung em out to dry... and was gaily chissling away when I realised the time.

Where were you yesterday Smurf? I did wonder... when are you due back for the Grand Clothes change?

I'm for the off again in a minute, back to the Accupuncturist. She's certainly made a difference already - I'm still sleeping in snatches, but it "good" sleep as opposed to uneasy dozing

Sounds to me as if you've had first hand experience about the Sit Down Talk.... one of these days he'll get around to telling me, I expect.
To be honest, as long as he's hapy and he doesn't get emotionally hurt it doesn't particually worry me. Loves love, after all, wherever and with whomever you find it, after all.

Ah well, I'll love ya and leave ya for the time being and try and catch you tomorrow!

Ev x






*Just remembered, its Linseed Oil!


PS No, don't think Shh *would* be bored if he moved down this way... I'm the neighbour from hell, really

hi ev,this time i missed you!!It's a bit quiet round here today.Hope you enjoyed the chiselling bit...i enjoy anything like that,but my silly hands won't let me do as much as i used to.
Yep!I've done the sit down and talk bit,and just as you say,it doesn't matter one bit.My daughter is a love,and so is her partner.They were "married" in february,it was a lovely service,and more touching than a lot of weddings i've been to..there's an account of it in my journal entries somewhere.
To have love in your life is a blessing,no matter who it's with.
I'm waffling again.

Hallo again...

We must stop missing each other like this! And whilst I think of it, its very quiet on the Granny front again - have you heard from her lately? I keep meaning to e mail and you know how it is - don't know about you, but I'm easilly sidetracked!

I had a riffle thru your journals about your daughter's wedding - it sounded really lovely Smurfles. Belated congratulations and good wishes to them both

Know what you mean about the hands not letting you *do* as much stuff as before....

Three years ago I was a full time massuese - well, as full time as my appauling business sense allowed me to be, but on good days I was doing 5 massages a day - so you can imagine how strong my wrists, hands and fingers were.... I could get thru knotted muscles like no-one's business; tho I say it myself I was probably one of the best massueses I knew of, and my clients seemed to think so, too.

What a change now though!

I'm numb from the elbows down now, and its odd, because "numb" suggests no feeling - but I have... and a lot of the time its damned painful. The fingers and hands feel like they've just come out of really really hot water and "sausage up" in the hot weather. I've also just been diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, which means that the thumbs have gone west, which really rats me off

Having said that, this accupuncture seems to be doing miracles in a relatively short time... despite the heat I can actually get both rings on (-usually wear them around my neckon a chain) and although the pain is still present, the mobility is improving at long last, so I'm making hay whilst the sun shines and preparing book loads of stencils ready for the winter evenings when I'm not cavorting showing off my tum or pumping polystyrine dumbells at the local swimming pool!

As for the back - she's done more in two weeks for that than 3 years "under the doctor" as the expression goes. How half a dozen little needles whacked into apparently unrelated areas of the bod *work* is just one of them mysterious things I'm happy to accept. Again, it still aches quite a lot, but it's well bearable for the first time in AGES

She's still working on the Chronic Fatigue - it'll be sooo nice to do 18 hour days again, as I used to in Eire - and no, I amn't being sarcastic, either, I seem to have felt absolutely knackered for... oh... years, and I'm sick of feeling so tired all the time. Its so boring!

There's so much life out there

And to think *you* claimed *you* were waffling!

Hope we catch up with each other tomorrow!

Evx
