A Long Weekend

I am a little tired today as I over-indulged in large amounts of comfort food and alcohol last night, more the food than the alcohol but still it has the same soporiphic effect . Other Half was out for the day yesterday(and most of the night) at the High Voltage festival in Victoria Park , he was out to see ZZ Top and others, drink copious amounts of falling down juice and possibly other things I am not going to think about cos what I don't know won't hurt me . I had my brother popping down for a visit and so I prepared steak for the meat eaters and veggy chilli and nachos for ooh, ME! Nah, I did share. There was a good film on called Sunshine Cleaning, a dark comedy but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Then however I made my brother endure Twilight , which he did put up with, with good grace.

We almost watched a dreadful film I can't remember the name of but five minutes of a mall security guy running about swearing and trying to save young blondy bimbo type, whilst dark haired funny but not interesting type tried to attract his attention was enough for us. I suspect brunette won the day in the end... just a wild guess you understand.

In the end I went to bed about oneish (latelatelate!!!) and at some point heard Other Half come in, well actually I heard the dogs tail frantically thumping against some sort of amplifying device for maximum noise (oh yeah, she is that organised). Then I fell asleep again until Other Half "quietly" came to bed , stage whisper of "hello dear..." caught my attention, I ignored him. Then about half six I realised I had a tummy ache and was really thirsty (odd that eh?) However I couldn't move for approximately two hours as I was suffering from some sort of mild paralysis, also think I thought if I ignored it all it might go away...it didn't.

So, I have been up earlier than I wanted, and I now have to cook for people and I just want to shut my eyes and be cooked for.

Back in the real world they are just going to have to put up with roast chicken and cauli-cheese cos a roasty dinner is not within my capabilities today .
