Away with the Fairies

Today I had a Covid booster after two hours sleep and around 2 litres of diet cola that was meant to keep me awake enough to drive bear to school and me to the clinic. This means that I am somewhat out of it. I tried to hang my keys up on the light switch. 

I haven't got a pic but I parked near the pharmacy where the clinic was held in one of the smallest, least practical, worst designed miniature car parks I have ever had the misfortune to suffer. I swear that there are living rooms bigger than the space outside the pharmacy, mini Sainsburys and Fish & Chip shop. The fish and chip shop had a number of notices in the window. It sold Vegan fried fish, that is, banana flower. It also sold deep fried mars bars. The notices were next to each other. I didn't feel able to take a pic, though, as the staff had just watched me make a 347 point turn to get into the space. For added embarassment, the gear stick wouldn't go into reverse again but then worked fine after I was suitably mortified.

I told bear to get the bus home as I didn't think that I was safe to drive. He didn't get home till near 6pm instead of just after 4pm and I felt desperately guilty. School have not helped. Today I got a cryptic email saying that all pupils who have a school sweater should wear one tomorrow, or at least a vest. Bear refuses to wear sweaters and I haven't got him into a vest since primary school. He hasn't even got the right sized white t-shirt. Buying anything is tricky as I have the directional capability of a helium balloon. I got less than 24 hours notice and I am unimpressed.

And now I am off for an early night.

Hugs and good health to all.
