It doesn't show how sweaty I was. We'd walked in 35 degrees for an hour to find that shop, where last month Lyn had seen a horse puppet she wanted. Could she find the heffing place? Nah. Eventually we got there and I spent 10 minutes haggling the guy down to 4000 Baht (60 quid) for the horse, which is the most hideous thing I've ever seen. Pictures to follow if she lets me take it out of the 4 acres of bubble wrap he put it in.
I'm an engineer, so expect the expected. I dislike coriander. I like owls. I hate cold water. Repeating tensions such as clocks and dripping taps, which drive some people crazy, don't seem to affect me. I survived cancer in 2019. I once drank seven mugs of tea in 15 minutes. I have trouble understanding why people keep dogs as pets. All of my names contain 7 letters. My lowest three vertebrae are held in place by titanium rods. Deep water represents the unknown, which terrifies me. I read slowly. I eat quickly. I was briefly insane in the autumn of 1990. My happiest moments were spent throwing arrows around a field when I was 12. My favourite colour is blue. I rarely catch colds. I believe that not taking part in any physical activity after the age of 30 is the equivalent of not ducking when being punched. I accept and respect the existence of an opposite point of view. I wish I had a good plot idea so I could write a book. I have never bought a tabloid newspaper. I sink in water. Of the five people I spent my teenage years with, three are dead. I think that in a family context, love should be unconditional. I believe to the core of my being that man's most divisive and destructive creation is God. I neglected my father and regret it now he's gone. I can hear and memorise numbers instantly and retain them indefinitely, but forget what my wife tells me in seconds. I dislike fruit in desserts. Masks scare me. Only my family should shorten my first name. I intend to live to the age of 121. There is no retina in my right eye. I've been to five continents but I hate sight-seeing.
Niiiiice, it makes you look even more intelligent!
ReplyDeleteI mean, it makes even you look intelligent! ;-)

ReplyDeleteThe exact same thing happened to me at the weekend....35 degrees, hours walking, pretended to smoke a pipe, all to buy a horse puppet.....
