Gonna Break out of the city, leave the People here behind....

Another late night last night and again I was with wee-devi and again we were at a comedian. 

This week, I enjoyed it more. I wasn't left saddened by the experience.   Julian Clary last week, was like a sad and bitter version of his former snappy bitchy self and it was uneasy to watch I felt.  People were laughing, but to me, they sounded as if they were forcing it out. Much ho ho ho ho ing, and it wasn't really that funny. 

Last night, Eddie Izzard.  Complete other end of the scale.  Whereas Julian was at the Pavillion which perhaps suited his faded and dated self Eddie was in the SECC - a couple of halls banged together I think.... perhaps in the region of 10,000 people there. I think the hall has capacity of 12,500 seated! It was unbelievable to see all these people filing in, - they weren't even all seated when he came on stage. 

We were so far away, I could barely make him out on Stage, but there were 50 ft screens on stage, so he was very visible.   You forgot sometimes, that he was the little spec on the stage, and what we were watching was no more than a TV performance.   Wee-Devil however, could see better than I could (I've lost my glasses by the way, has anyone seen them?).  She even spotted Beardo across the hall..... I was pissing myself laughing... All i could see was a mass of heads... she was actually able to pick out Beardo and all her mates sitting probably about half a mile away. ha ha ha!

Anyways, in honour of Eddie today I have read the terms and conditions of a competition BEFORE i signed the agreement!

Close Your Eyes, Listen to my Voice

My lovely picture from yesterday has been posted up on BBC Scotland web page as Scotland's Big Pic of the Day!

Am so pleased. 

And ... I got my stitches out today. My kisser is lovely once again.

Lest We Forget

What color is your watch?
Silver. All of them. The Fake Rolex, the Bangle, The Swatch.  Silver is my Watch Colour.

What do you think of when you hear “Australia”?

Koalas, Barbeques, Beaches, Surfing,

Would you strip for money?

I would strip for money, but I think I would make more money getting money to prevent me taking my clothes off.  Not too pretty a sight!

Do you go in a fast food place or just hit the drive thru?#

Hit the Drive Thru. I hate the people who are in these places..... And to be faced with a team of servers who lack the appropriate attitude for a place like this is mind numbing

What is your favorite number?
6 - I gave birth to my son in Room 6. I decided that morning, 6 was my lucky number.  Sadly, it didn't make the birthing process easy. It was almost 24 hours long, and easily the most excruciating experience I have ever.
Who’s the last person you talked to on the phone?
My Boy.  The one I gave birth to in Room Six. I missed his message telling me when to collect him, and he phoned to find me.
Any plans today?
Today, almost done. The plan was, get up be busy and constructive. Unfortunately, unplanned hangover did for me.  I had to drag myself out of bed and take Tooli Belle to Remembrance Parade. She decided at last moment to go... hmmm.   I did that, and then headed back to bed. Lay around comatose for about 3 hours, and then dragged myself back up, and tried to tidy myself up. Yawn. What a waste of a day!
In how many states have you lived?
Ayrshire, South, But it was once called Strathclyde for a while, does that count as 2?  City of Edinburgh, Kingdom of Fife, Lanarkshire.
Biggest annoyance right now?
Wasting my day, after drinking too much last night!  What a waste!
Last song listened to?
Rock DJ sung by the Moronic Duo, that is John and Edward.
Can you say the alphabet backwards?
No! Why would I need to.
Do you have a maid service clean your house?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha That is a really funny question.
Favorite pair of shoes you wear all the time?
I only do one pair of shoes at a time. The last pair I had I sold on Ebay to a foot fetish fiend. ha ha ha Yes, he actually bought a pair of shoes which were falling apart, stinking, and rotten!
Are you jealous of anyone?
Yes, Gary Barlow's wife.  I think he must sing songs to her!
Is anyone jealous of you?
When I was at school, a girl once wrote my name, in biro all over a new text book.  When she was asked why she had done it, she said "because I don't like everything she has". The teacher said she was jealous of me! I was a mediocre at best student -Mid Grades everywhere. I had a small group of friends, I wasn't one of the "populars",  I couldnt see what she had to be jealous about.... but there you go!
Do you love anyone?
I love everyone I have.
Do any of your friends have children?
Yes.
What do you usually do during the day?
Working.  9 - 5.30
Do you hate anyone that you know right now?
I don't waste energy on hate. Karma gets them in the end.
Do you use the word hello daily?
I do indeed.  As I do also, Gorgeous!
What color is your car?
Blue...
What size wedding ring do you wear?
My finger sized.
Are you thinking about someone right now?
Yes, My husband, he is sitting opposite me, and is lovely. I love him to bits.
Have you ever been to Six Flags?
I'm not sure what Six Flags is.
How did you get your worst scar?

None of my scars are bad.  I have a wee one on my head, where I was hit by a swing when I was 5.  I have a scar on my nose, where I had a horrible mole removed, but it is perfectly shaped down the side of my nose. I have a laparoscopy scar in my belly button, but I think it is cute, a hysterectomy scar, which is perfectly cut against the curve of my belly, so is lovely also.  I have a new one today.  On my lip. Maybe it will be my worst... A stitch fell out today. and it might be open a wee bit.  But my lips are gorgeous anyways, so a wee scar isn't going to make any odds.

You'll Remember a Place, Someone Touching your Face....

Friday 5
 

1) Which one is more irritating- being too hot or being too cold?

Being Too Hot, I can't bear it. My son is the same. We are off the same stock.  No jackets, shirt sleeves, much better, Windows open to the world, cold drafts everywhere.  Standing with the minimum of clothes on, on a frosty day, at the back door is my idea of heaven.  I can't bear being overwhelmed with heat.  It makes me sleepy.  coldness keeps me sharp, and keeps sore heads at bay.

2) Were you born in the winter or the summer?

I was born in Spring, neither Summer, nor Winter!   Is probably why I prefer cooler weather.  Too hot.. TOOO MUCH

3) What are your favourite foods to eat when you need to warm up and cool down?

When I need to warm up, there is nothing better than a lovely bowl of SOUP  - Home made. Non of this tinned stuff, although there is nothign wrong on occassion with a tin of Heinz.. Heinz anything actually!  Si makes the BEST Lentil and Bacon, and French Onion, or just regular veg.  I can make Coconut and Sweetcorn, but that isn't one you can eat every day for a week, like I can with Si's Soups! Yumser

4) Which one are you more likely to suffer from- hayfever or flu- and does it run in your family?

Hay Fever, which is slightly, no greatly more tolerable than Tonsilitus which I used to get every 7 weeks without fail.  If it wasn't Tonsils, it was the Cold, and one tended to run in to the other. When I got my tonsils out, the colds got better.  Since they started doshing out Flu Jabs, the colds have got better still. I'm still prone to exploding with sneezers everywhere.  Right now -the cleaners in this office use something, so every Tuesday and Thursday I spent a good part of the day sneezing.  Not a problem tho, at least I know my nose works!

5) You are granted a day of perfect weather whenever you like. What day do you place it on and why?

October 3rd.  The Sky is Clear and Bright, the air is Nippy to the touch, and you can breathe air that came down a weather front from Norway.   My dad died on the 3rd October, and although that day was damp and dreich, every October since then has been lovely (In my mind). Its nice when you have a day like that to contemplate what has been, what could have been, and what will be.

Got to Find Me an Angel........ In My Life.....

I've got one!  My Si, is my angel. he looks after me and loves me, and I am enternally in love with him in return.  I can't look after him - I'm pretty damn useless that side of things, but he's happy with me loving him.

Anyways, I said I hoped I'd be better by the end of the week, and bloody hell I am! Is amazing! yesterday I was feeling pretty pap. But today, after a great nights sleep I feel amazing! Awake, Alert, no pain, nothing all wonderful!  The lip is looking okay.... the stitches have settled and the swelling has gone down.... only problem i have now, is licking them!  It is like having little hairy bits  on your lip - or little dried bits of skin, and the inclination is to nip them, But I mustn't I mustn't!

Is keeping it really clean tho - just little holes where the stitches went in now, and the little stitches coming out. no blood, no scabs.  Is all good!

Last night Me and K-bob went to see Julian Clary. Bit sad!  He wasn't as quick or bright as he usually was. Maybe it was the venue ( Pavillion), it isn't quite as flash as you might expect, maybe it was his age, - he was "celebrating" being 50, although I thought he was rather depressed as he recounted high lights from his life... strictly..., Joan Collins Fan Club, Fanny the Wonder Dog, Norman Lamont. .... It was all very humdrum ho drum, and a lively gay audience enjoying every minute.

Ah Well. There is always hope for Eddie next week.

It's nice to know somebody loves me

Day after my surgery and I'm feeling slightly better.   Lip is tightening up nicely, and only slight bruising. The pain in it isn't as severe as yesterday and I've managed since this morning without painkillers. 

However, I did take anti-inflamatories for my aching wrists and made myself feel ill, and spent most of the afternoon in bed  feeling really, really sick. 

Sometimes I think you just have a run of feeling pap.  This is my week. Hopefully by the end of the week, I'll be back on form. 



 

When You're Smiling, When You're Smiling, The Whole World Smiles With you

Oh my goodness.  I can't smile.  My face is killing me. 

I've had a wee surgery on my face, and I have 5 stitches on my lip.... .It was great at the time. No pain at all, the Doctor was totally brilliant.  2 hours later, Local wears off, and Now my face is excruciating.  OMG.

Hopefully though, it fix the exploding lip I have been suffering for the last odd years.

Pain Killer Sedation for the next 48 hours I think.

They just make you worse, and I know I'll see your face again

So on my way to work, I park on the beach and walk into the town. I pass a chemist, where in the morning, before it opens people gather to get in first and get their daily methadone dose.  What is all that about! No. no. no. 

They are addicted to the methadone, they supplement it with other drugs too. Why are we are a nation, supplying these people with drugs to make it worse?  I don't get it!

At least they look happy and not so desperate when they come out.

Please note that this photo is being used as an illustration, and I am in no way suggesting that this chemist, or these people are involved in a methadone programme.
