Bounce
Me again. Been busy again. How very dull of me.
Does anyone else think that the time of the year when you've got the most to do is also the time of year when you've got the least time to do it in? Seems a tad unfair. And totally typical. No sooner did I recover from the lurgy to a degree when it was time to load up, pick up a works funbuggy - a brand new Laguna (niiiiiiice) - and head off deep south to the insides of the M25 and spend the week bouncing off the carpets, all in the name of getting my official "hurting people" permit back.
Now, it's a miracle to me that not only do I get this course for free, but they pay me for it, and they put me up in a nice hotel and pay for that as well. The amount of money that people pay for Boxaerobics, etc. Had to be at the local gym to start for seven in the morning , which is a bit ugly by most people's idea of a course, but it did mean that I got to miss the sort of rush hour you get towards the beautiful south, which is nobodies idea of fun. Also meant that I got to miss breakfast of course, which wasn't so jolly, but it was all very cosmopolitan for a change. Could have done without the corporate Christmas party on Thursday that invaded my hotel; young and drunken, aggressive, hyped up southern business types. Needed them like a aperture in the cranium. I can see a letter of complaint going in. Hell, why not. It's only a stamp, might even blag a freebie out of it. Join the national freeloading party, why not.
