While jabbing the enter key viciously may be eminently satisfying, it does little by way of refreshing the website that has hung for the third time in as many minutes. Apparently today is not a good day for paid mobile broadband services. Hmmmm. I lie, I steal, I cheat…. Is this just a lesson being meted out? Or a CLEAR signal that theft is the only answer?

My fury from last night never got a chance to get out of bed this morning. I don't know if it's the sunshine, or the trek to the health centre to get a stamp on the doctors certificate. Africa still eludes me, but the hot air balloon safari is booked, an attempt to discover the absent markings on the oven knob partially successful, a promise to come fix the last bits in the flat elicited and a potential courtship towards a job offer in Singapore perks me up, or perhaps it's just the resignation to the fact that turning 40 is humiliating. Not only have I crossed the threshold age of requiring certification, I am reliably informed that all that my eggs are good for at this age, is making omelettes. And if that wasn't degrading enough, I still have to pay taxes to support the weak, infirm and unemployed and don't even get the benefit of a free bus pass!

What about my rapidly dwindling memory? I puzzle over the Hungarian's cryptic "let me know about August and I'll book tickets". Huh? Did I ask her over? Thankfully, she brings it up when she calls, and I'm quick to pick up on my superlative idea of the Bank holiday weekend somewhere in Europe. Italy strikes a chord, although she won't do Tuscany without Florence, and we settle for Capri. But I've never been to Sardinia. Cruel, cruel world. As I hang up, benevolence steals over me. You can't fault people for feeling the way they don't, any more than the way they do.

Perhaps I ought to wait and see what tomorrow brings before I make any more pronouncements.

On top of spaaaaghetti all covered with cheese, my booobies are droooooping, oooh heellllllllppp me please.....

(and they said Lenon was a visionary! Ha!).
