Not for a job, but someone who lived on the floor below me just over 20 years ago sent me a lovely message after sticking my name into Google. I’m crap at remembering names, but he remembered mine – probably after the ordeal I put him through when confronted by a massive spider in the hallway one evening after work. I particularly remember that as the spider was so large that even he was a bit nervous. Either that or he doesn’t like spiders.
Due to the medication that I have to take I have an extremely bad memory which would come back if I came off them. These days I put it down to old age and quite simply, I’m losing my mind. A classic example is when I confiscate things from Todd for 24 hours. When he asks for whatever the item is, I’ll be buggered if I can remember where I put it. I also hide things from Coralie as she believes that she has the right to use everything in this household. The trouble is, I can never remember where I’ve hidden the item and I do owe her an apology as I blamed her for nicking my make-up remover. I’d hidden the bottle from her. Oooops.
So finding that lovely message from a former neighbour has made my christmas – that, and finishing the christmas shopping. The shops were amazingly empty this year, it was bizarre. As I have had to cut back on my christmas present budget this year, the least I could do was to treat the family to christmas crackers. I showed the Twat who nodded in approval saying “I’ve always thought that explosions in the house are a good idea.”
Hmmmm.
I’m so happy – salut, Jean-marc!
