a few crumbs..

OK... It's been a while again. Sorry. I've been a busy chap. The weather has been glorious, I've had my parents visiting (which was great), we have another visitor arriving this week which will be fun and we've been to Dubai a few weekends of late having a brilliant time with our new friends there.

I really haven't had a moment to sit and blog. Until today. I intended to laze around the apartment doing very little apart from grazing through the piles of biccies that mum and dad left for us and play on my x-box.

I was just settling down for my scheduled mid-morning nap when my phone rang. My friend, who lives around the corner, sounded a bit panic-stricken. She was doing a spot of spring cleaning and whilst bending down to pick up some detritus that had gathered in her corners (she's not the most house-proud of ladies...) her back gave out and left her on all fours in her hallway. She had to crawl to her phone to seek assistance. We have a key to her place so we dashed 'round with painkillers and deep-heat in hand. We found her face down, beached on her bed, flailing uselessly for a pillow. I had to stifle a guffaw. She was in pain but in good spirits. Her main concern was that she was wearing her 'cleaning outfit'. On assisting her to manouvre on to her back I realised 'cleaning outfits' apparently don't include a bra. Fortunately, her extremely curvy feminine curves were swathed in a voluminous yellow t-shirt. We made sure she was propped up appropriately and promised to return with a selection of dvd's, food and medical supplies.

On return to our apartment, I sat down with a drink and a book, intending to get through a couple of chapters. I woke up 90 minutes later (some nap!). What a shockingly bad friend! I called her and she had found solace in our other friend who lives a few floors down in her building (we'd left the door on the latch - here's one of the few places left on earth that you can still do that) and they were awaiting their KFC delivery. Yes! KFC deliver here. Mmmm.... chicken. I switched on my x-box for some guilt-free gaming.

Anyway. I must blog more constructively so I'll think about a post over the next day or two, I'll get some pics of the city on here as well. Now, where did I leave my book...
