This is
not a post on the matter of cessation of egg-production… tho' of course it
could have been. That would make no
difference to me really, never having put it to the test.
No. this
is the post of 'why-oh-why'? You'll have
gathered yesterday that the fuse is a tad short this past few days. I put on the smile - a wink in the eye. The thing is my usual light and witty self is
dropping a wee bit towards the 'couldn't care less' and 'why are you
interrupting this conversation'. Am
heading towards an episode of
menomonocanticle.
In trying
to deflect that, am picking up on stuff that would never normally bother. Like;
Why-oh-why
do the gardeners have to do the burning right on class time and that too when
the prevailing wind ensures a smoke-out in the lecture hall?
Why-oh-why
do the gardeners have to put the water hose on then walk away and leave it
irrigating the driveway?
Why-oh-why
do the gardeners have to use the anti-mozzie poison guns during lunch time?
Why-oh-why
does the hotel have to have their dance parties at decimal 10 billion and 78
hertz just as one is about to go to sleep?
Why-oh-why
does the hotel have to have a wedding band blaring every second afternoon?

Sigh. Well, Dear Reader, sorry for this. Then again… how're you going to know my
mostly cool and charming self if you don't get glimpses of the 'night shade'? By tomorrow it'll have blown over. I'm sure.
Mother
would have been sitting me down about
now and asking me why the 'moaning minnies'?
Because,
mother, I am menomoaniacal - in a condition of not being able to utter a
positive word.
So I'll
shut up now.
Poor Yam. Can't you get earplugs in Mumbai? I swear by them in noisy situations.
ReplyDeleteI hear you loud and clear sister. I'll do what Jade used to do sit with her ears pricked up, looking the other way, but still keeping that watchful eye, waiting to be called for a lick and a cuddle, and got totally over protective when Jasper headed for the shoulder. Mmmmmmmmm meanwhile I've got cleaning of house to do. Sydney is a tad grey this morning, birds are still chirping though.
ReplyDeleteHugs heaps. Xxxxxxxxxxxx

ReplyDeletePerpetua - actually - I do have earplugs but have the sort of canal that refuses to hold them!! sigh. It was only at a point during the past 24 that I got like this. Now two essays have been successfully delivered am feeling much lighter!!
