They Say What They Say

I'm still in the old home town. I was going to go home today, but then I got a call from one of my oldest friends who told that her dad, who is 96 and has been in hospital for the last week, is not expected to live. Since mine all died either before I was born or when I was very young, he's the closest thing to a grandparent that I've ever had, so it was an imperative that I go and see him before the end. I didn't stay very long because I was nearly in tears, but I'm glad I got the chance to say goodbye.

Meanwhile I solved my clothes problem when I finally found a skirt and a couple of plain black t-shirts that didn't look like they'd been designed for a 13 year-old girl or someone my mother's age. I fail to understand how, in a town the size of this, finding decent clothes is so impossible. I'd be fine if all I wanted to wear was track pants, and cheap jeans and tops from K-Mart or Target. And 3/4 pants. I have never seen so many 3/4 pants-wearing women in my life as I have in the last few days. It's almost like you can't live here unless you vow to own at least three pairs of 3/4 pants in beige, denim and black. It's like a town by-law or something! Don't they know how unflattering 3/4 pants are on me?

I have heat rash and my phone isn't ringing when people call. But I did cook this yummy pasta dish for mum and I tonight, and the glass of white wine sitting by my pooter is going down very nicely, thank you.

*reaches for the bottle*

oxoniensis is currently collecting prompts for the Porn Battle III. I'm sure Dan and Casey would like to see a little porn action. I know I'd like to see them get a little porn action *g*
