Far too social

Having been woken from my early nights sleep around 10.15 I was then awake until around 4.30am. Thank god for the aerial man fixing my TV a couple of weeks ago, an insomniac with no TV would be like playing footie with no ball, a disaster.

Dragged myself from my bed to begin the beauty regime for the day, hoping that all of today's venues would have subdued lighting, first stop Alvah Mad House - I know you shouldn't laugh at the inmates but they make it so difficult not too.  If you ever need a tonic Alvah Mad House is the place to go, who needs Prozac when you have Mad friends.

Next coffee stop The Range for a Drive-in, lunch was needed this time as I had refused the offer of biscuits at the last coffee stop.  Carrot soup, and a diet coke were the order of the day, did I tell you I have cured my ulcer and am now able to drink my favourite tipple without the need for painkillers. Hooraaaay, Amy Winehouse and I laughed and toasted our past, present and future events and had a thoroughly good couple of hours, shame its been so long.

Next coffee stop was a change of plan as my partner in crime was needing a snooze, so I took myself off to the Local coffee establishment, at this stage I feel I should point out I was wearing lenses, and although my optician has assured me that I am most definitely legal for driving, she never mentioned the fact that I should carry a placard announcing myself and my affliction - SHORTSIGHTEDNESS, thus saving the lovely lady at the till from having to tell me if my friend was in the building......  What makes this worse was, this wasn't the friend I was supposed to meet, remember she was snoozing, this was the friend who's car I noticed (amazingly) in the car park.  But this friend didn't recognise me, and she isn't shortsighted, she just didn't recognise moi with NO hair.....

Vanity is only a contact away

I left the local coffee establishment feeling happy and waterlogged, having managed in one day to fit in, three fly cups, which turned out to be two coffees, three diet cokes and a bowl of Carrot soup, with five lovely friends, some of whom I have not seen since our Wedding.

To be fair I nearly made it home, but I decided it had been far too long since I had seen the Buba so another pitstop was in order, thank the lord no coffee was on offer, I don't think I could have managed one more drop.
