    Life is bizarre.
    As far as you're concerned your whole family are thinking you are a waste of space. They are all finding you negative and talking about you.

    Of course, if you actually stop and talk to them you will realise they have a very real grasp of reality and of the relatives that have been bad mouthing you.

    Is this because when faced with people saying good things about you, and other people saying bad things about you - you have a tendency to dismiss one, and take-to-heart the other?

    Much like Will Farrell I am pondering whether I am in a comedy or tragedy.

    As a few of you know I've had my three car related bad luck things recently.
    This has been followed by breaking my nose and then a week ago having it re broken! It's now straight.

    Last night I found out why my friends of a certain age go on and on and, tbh, on about night sweats. Wow, I woke up to that joy last night. Just to reinforce the point, the bathroom had been deserted by my resident woodlouse and he was sitting on the mattress. He was very flat!

    If you're having problems telling the two, then you must be a romance...

    Are you arranging a proper burial?

    Or just a burial at sea in his adopted home (the bathroom)?

    Glad to hear from you again. I was thinking about you today and wondering how you were.
    I remember rushing outside in winter to cool down!
    Take care.
