Bad day/good day

Reasons not to be cheerful, 1, 2, 3…
1: H decided it would be a good idea to fall down the stairs this morning. All rather dramatic. With cup and cereal bowl in hand, he went ‘thud’ very loudly from (nearly) the very top to the very bottom, on his back. I have very steep stairs, but luckily they’re carpeted. Well, lucky if you don’t mind friction burns on your back (as well as the general bruising and scraping). After checking for broken bones, and recovering from his life flashing before his eyes (strangely I didn’t seem to figure in that, must speak to him about that….!) he hobbled about a bit and declared himself fit for use if a little bruised.
2: Client meetings. I drove to a client meeting this morning, and distinctly remember sitting looking at said client while he droned on and thinking “you’re an arse” and it made me feel a little bit better but not much. Clients are made to make your life miserable.
3: Got home to find we’d had a power cut. No ‘leccy. No lights. No TV. No stereo. No t’interweb! Good grief, we’d have to actually talk to each other! In a panic, we booked a table at Pizza Express. But then the power came back on.
Reasons to be cheerful, 1, 2, 3:
1: The power came back on. This means – (veggie) sausages, mash, peas and (veggie) gravy. And footy – Holland vs Argentina.
2: H is still in one piece with no broken bones.
3: Couldn’t think of another one but this may be a suitable place for this…My brother is getting married in October. Well, visa-willing and all that. Cor. My ‘ickle bruvver all growed up and everyfink! Very excited. But can’t quite picture it yet, it’s all a bit surreal. But obviously a very good thing indeed. Hurrah!
Time for comfort food. Mmm.

Well, funnily enough, I had pointed out to him only that morning that he’d left his umbrella open in the dining room and he said “what, you mean it’s unlucky, ha ha ha…”. Don’t think he’ll be doing that again in a hurry!

Never putting a brolly up indoors again! I’m a bit bruised and battered today.
They say bad things come in threes. First I fall down the stairs, then Summer promptly ends (I have the heating on at the moment). What next? The signs aren’t ggod for England, I tell you!
