Thursday offers you a free portrait of the Queen

It's early morning
No one is awake
I'm back at my cliff
Still throwing things off
I listen to sounds they make
On their way down
I follow with my eyes till they crash
I Imagine what my body would sound like
Slamming against those rocks
 
I was going to say I feel Rita was downplaying the role of masturbation to a 14 year old boy.
 
I've seriously considered the Brodsky Quartet version of Hyperballad as a funeral song.

Probably best to wait and see how I die and let someone else make the decision.

I just didn’t want to throw my phone off a bridge, now people are throwing old ladies off, jumping off towers?? Somehow treading on the backs of people’s shoes on purpose feels even worse

You mean in case you end up slammmming against some rocks?
 
Will @Martha Skidd be making a pilgrimage to the new shopping centre that has opened in Edinburgh, known locally as THE GOLDEN TURD?

Isn't that what the summer holidays are for? (That and wanking loads)

He can do what he wants to be quite honest. I am not the sort of Mum who has an itinerary set up for the holidays, but he still enjoys a few days out here and there with his old Mama.
 
Just had a nice awkward unholy trinity in the lift. White guy was waiting to go up, and a Japanese man came after me carrying a load of stuff. White guy goes it, picks his floor and goes to the back to make room, I go to the panel, push my floor and ask the Japanese guy which floor.

1) always worried I’m not going to say Nankai desu ka? (Which floor?) and instead say Nansai desu ka? (How old are you?)… fortunately I avoid this

2) Japanese man answers in English - now nobody has any idea what language to use

3) Japanese guy gets off and the white guy is next, who says Excuse me/Thanks to me in Japanese.

I don’t know if I’m coming or going
🥴

More pus out of this leg wound this morning and it got a bit warm earlier and with a pink radius around it. Pretty conclusively infected I think, though thankfully the warmth and pinkness have gone as of this afternoon so maybe my body is fighting the good fight.

Which is more than can be said for my GP surgery. Never got back to me yesterday. Phoned back today "oh the wound nurse isn't in today", so asked for an urgent GP instead because you know, infected wounds can kill within days and all that. Sent some gross pics (again). "One of the GPs will call you sometime today"

3:30... not getting my hopes up :(

Guess I'll try 111 later and if they're no help then just got to wait until I need to be hospitalised :/
 
Last day at work today for 18 days. Planned a lovely long bike ride tomorrow. It's going to rain all day. FFS.
 
Thanks loves! ♥️ Currently waiting at the doctor’s for my back pains which may have actually been the cause of my BALL pains all along :eyes: that’s being 36 for you.
Happy birthday!

Interesting, particularly bad back pains? I have some in my lower back that come and go. 80% of the time I'm fine, 20% of the time it flares up (usually on the left.. today it's on the right!) and it hurts to get off my arse or walk without being hunched over. Then a few days later it goes away again as if nothing ever happened. I had also put it down to age (39). Haven't bothered with the GP, it's hard enough to get an appointment for a potentially life threatening wound infection, let alone something intermittent and hard to describe :)
 
Ah! GP surgery out of the doghouse, the senior Dr himself just called to prescribe penicillin.

Not massively keen on needing antibiotics if I'm honest (because of the risk of resistance later in life) but hey, it's one "get out of death free card" used up and I'd rather use it than not at this stage.
 
Well assuming it's still Thursday, my hayfever has finally provoked me into taking antihistamines for the first time in around 3 years.
 
Some stupid fucking fucker smashed into my car on the way home from work tonight when he thought he could turn right across the front of me despite me knowing there wouldn't be time, I could have died if I hadn't jammed the anchors on as I saw him start to move. It was his fault and he even said sorry but I don't know how I managed to stay calm with him because I wanted to smash his teeth in. I managed to limp it home after consulting (sending pictures to) my mechanic but had to go round the roads instead of the dual-carriageway. He's completely wrecked it, the bonnet is an inch too high and the corners have crumpled into the engine bay. Oh and the windscreen squirt bottle has punctured.
 
I've just spoken to the insurance, somebody will ring tomorrow to arrange to pick up the car to take to their garage and give me a courtesy car. She asked if I had a preference for the courtesy car so I was necky and asked if I could please have a Tesla P90D, she laughed and said they do have Teslas for premium policies but knew my insurance wouldn't stump up for it so she'd try for another Corsa SRi or similar but it will probably have to be an Aygo. I really hope it isn't the Aygo because the 0-60 is about fifteen seconds and they have a cartoon villain's face.
