I had an email from Shirl today. She was worried because I'd not blogged for a day or two. I am making up for it now, Shirl!
Must tell you that yesterday I booked tickets for the Wales Italy rugby game and Bruce Springsteen. Both at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium - but not together.
Last we saw The Boss was a couple of years ago in London. It was a difficult-to-get-to venue and we left just before the end because we knew getting a tube train would be horrendous. We won't have that problem this time so will be able to relax and go with the flow, man.

Today in work i took phone call from 'John'. His wife was downstairs in the quilting class and he wanted me to pass a message on to her. John and his wife are part of our church and I know him well. That doesn't mean that I'm not going to slap him next time I see him. Asking me to take the message he said, 'As you've got a bit of extra meat on you, it'll do you good to run downstairs.'
What made it worse was that when I told his wife, she sighed (she's well used to John putting his foot in it) but as she did so her eyes travelled up and down my body - and she didn't say, 'What extra meat?' She didn't say anything!
I know I've put on weight but I'm still wearing the same clothes; it can't be THAT obvious surely?!!!!!
I need chocolate.

Why don't these people put their brains in gear before they speak? My rule is never to make a remark about someone's physical appearance unless it's to say something positive. Jokes about physical appearance are the biggest no-no in my book. People can't help if they are bald or short or thin or "voluptuous", can they?
Sometimes a person looks you up and down and says nothing because they think you look great but know they don't! I don't know how many times we've met now Liz but I still haven't seen these extra micrograms you worry about. I really haven't. You look fabulous.
The word verification thingy is being very rude to me!
Why can we never think of an apt retort at the time when someone says something rude like that? I think he needs one up side of his head next time you see him.
