The Fool

I'm so hungover I need at least a week to recover, I should cut the crap really and stick to lemonade instead of booze. I know I sound like some moron alcoholic but trust me I ain't. It's just that I had too many parties lately and I really wish for a quiet weekend at home. Next Saturday I have another friends thing to do but it will be during the day and the weekend after I will be painting [all week]. I promised Maurice to help him and W. rebuild the kitchen. I'll probably have some demolishing to do as well since the whole kitchen needs to be ripped out and tiles need to be removed. So hopefully the weekend after that I will be doing nothing; bliss!

I was in Bournemouth yesterday and this morning, M. had her 40th birthday and invited a crowd over. I only knew about five out of 60 people and had a hard time talking to strangers because firstly I didn't feel like it and secondly I don't like superficial chitchat. This country at times seems to be the country of superficial chitchat though, especially at parties where you are forced to entertain some by being over polite and keep a straight face. It was a nice party though and I had a great time catching up with Sally and Mark. Last time I saw them was two years ago at S. and J.'s wedding.

I made one big mistake which was the speed of alcohol consumption and the type of alcohol. Normally I stick to wine or a nice Scotch but I would never ever mix anything until last night. I had this weird drink Pimm's, that I didn't even like to be honest. I mean it was alright but sooooooooooo yukky sweet. Halfway the evening I swapped to wine because Pimms was finished, biggest mistake ever. And again I didn't eat much [when will I learn?]. Last time I felt like this is about 20 years ago and I hated it back then as I hate it nowadays. I feel tired, sick and extra extra tired on the side.

We came home at about 14.00 today and I just needed to relax for a while and watch some TV. It was hectic on the motorway, too many annoying tossers not knowing how to drive [being stuck in the middle lane and not realising why people start overtaking them on the left] and I needed to focus on something just to stay alert and awake, so staring at the road was not a clever thing to do it made my condition worse. I had to skip a lovely full English breakfast because I couldn't stand the smell of it [why am I torturing myself like that?] and had one slice of toast with butter instead, a cup of tea [in the morning???? I couldn't stand the smell of coffee, yes... me... the coffee addict!] and lots of fruit juice.

Some details are better left unsaid because they are just too embarrassing. I just lost the plot again last night and since we had to walk back to the B&B down the road things became worse. I was in bed by 04.00 in the morning and had to get up five hours later. At 06.30 or something some kids started to run and scream somewhere in the house, I was told at breakfast that they were guests there as well [so where were the bleeding parents?!]; they need proper training. I wasn't allowed to do that when I was a child, my parents would've told me off big time. So I didn't sleep much and I really didn't want to get up, that bed was divine, I wish I could've slept for at least another four hours... Bummer I had to get up and get ready...

So after a 2.5 hours trip I ended up on the sofa watching the motoGP in Germany on BBC two. How come I end up watching a GP all the time? Last week I did exactly the same thing, channel surfing and getting stuck with the GP here in the UK, Form 1 though. I'm twisted... I didn't see much today though and missed the finish [darn] because I simply fell asleep for half an hour. My brain is fried and I can't think so I'm switching off soon. I really need to catch up on sleep and try to eat something, I feel like eating Thai Green Curry Chicken noodle soup and I think that is exactly what I'll be preparing in the next 30 minutes and then a kip!

I promised PE to check something out and I didn't have time in the end but I'll keep my promise and work on it tonight or tomorrow, if you read this: sorry about that, I'll need a brain that works though so I'd better wait a few more hours before I start doing the job for ya!... For now:

Charlie, Uniform... Lima, Alpha, Tango, Echo, Romeo, over and out...
