Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

Let me make this clear - I can handle heat. What I can't handle is the horrid, cloying sticky heat we have at the moment. When it rained today, as it did two or three times, it was like being in a steam bath. Beh. I had to go down to the town centre at lunch time. Now I've reached the point where I can walk back up the hill to the offices without collapsing and begging for oxygen. Today? I stopped twice for a good wheeze and a bit of a rest before continuing. Got back to the office, so I'm told, redder than a tomato. :)

However, I didn't throw up so today was much better. I've cut down on my tea (only one cup today!) and have been guzzling water, which has helped. I may risk a cup of tea later, just cos :)

And now I'm watching the football and wanting the French to win. Not that I'm a huge fan of the French, I just want to Christiano Ronaldo of Portugal blub like a girl :)

Vindictive? Moi? :D

I'm a dolt, I forgot to mention the splendiferous parcel that arrived today from jenni411 :) I had, at least, already thanked her by email so I'm not a total absent-minded rat fink. I got books! And a World Cup magnet! And a World Cup mascot keyring, which is a cute lion wearing leather lederhosen, hat and holding a football. I've called him Rusty - well, he's a rusty brown lion: )

So yayyyy to jenni411 and to the combined efforts of the US and UK postal services who got the parcel from NYC to WGC in five days. Impressive when you consider that it was the long holiday weekend in the US :)
