Coitus Interruptus


Miss me?

Think of it as a breathing space. Sometimes it takes so much effort to keep breathing that there is no space to do anything else. Sometimes there simply isn't anything to say, even for a jabberjaws like me.

So what's new? On the plus side, I can now run 10k. On the minus side, I now need to wear reading glasses to look at emails on my iPhone. Alternatively I can just let them blur into into a yammer of horrible workstuff, these days nothing can't wait until the next day.

On the minus side, I have to buy my clothes at Sainsburys now. You can get a decent pair of work trousers for £9  -  who knew? On the plus side, I have learned a lot about how the High Court works.

In my next life, I have decided not to come back as the proprietor of a school uniform shop after all. Lucrative and ludicrously easy though this may be, it will involve too much interaction with both children (bleargh) and Proper Mummies (bleargh). I have decided instead to come back as a barrister.  I am quick at understanding things, good at writing, good at talking and showing off. And I like the idea of being able to earn £40,000 for two days of work.

Meanwhile, the brainchild languishes like a Victorian infant consumptive, pale and barely breathing.  Which brings me back neatly to my breathing space.

Think of this as an oxygen tent.
