Heylo again! Firstly, Em's new plodding total for Friday now stands @ 2855 (which D2 very proudly also reports as also equaling as still sixty-one kcal but 1.25km XD) but secondly and way more importantly, I'm still owed THIRTY-THREE MINUTES online after Aunty Ling leaves @ 5pm!!! Anyways, continuing today's events?
-When Rob arrives, I let PIG mum gleefully FORCE :( me to walk to his car. Rob's a gentleman and even opens the door for me! To show rob the power she's got over me, PIG mum gleefully forced me to buckle my own seatbelt, but I didn't really mind, coz 'twas daytime and I could see just fine.
-So Rob tootled us off to Boyd's house somewhere in Wishart, telling me about his trip to Singapore with his wife back in the seventies. He was a handyman by trade and still is, actually, he'd just finished some painting work for the eaves of his house.
-At Boyd's place, Boyd gave me a hand in. At first, I noted that he had a house like Ray's, with stairs going up into the main living area but the stairs went up the left hand side and my heart plummeted, but thankfully Boyd directed me straight into the living room, where I crashed onto a couch and chatted with Eileen until the newspaper lady arrived.
-She briefly interviewed each of us; why we'd joined the group, etc. I told her how I'd done NaNoWri Mo back in 2012 and she gave me her business card, asking me to e-mail her a copy coz she wanted a read.
-After the reporter left, nature suddenly called and thanks to Boyd who helped me once to the loo, where I managed fine by myself.
-Back outside, the photographer arrived! She was considering how to position us, when diplomatic Eileen said, "Um, Em has some mobility issues ..." I was more forthright, saying, "Sorry, I'm disabled."
-Anyways, the photographer positioned me first, then had Eileen stand beside me and help keep me steady. After she'd positioned Rob and boyd also, we were each given a copy of the anthology and told to smile! For the first shot, a 'trial run' (so said the photographer) I poked my tongue out and pulled an awful silly face, but then composed myself and grinned properly for all the other shots. XD
-And that was that! The photographer left, and Eileen left also, saying to Boyd, "I'll cya soon." I asked Boyd, "Did she mean our writers group next Thursday?" and Bob replied, "No, we'll see each other tonight @ an art appreciation group in the library that my wife runs."
-Boyd kindly gave me a hand back to the car, and Rob dropped me back off home. I checked Tim; yikes, I was gonna be late getting to the NAB!
-In the 4WD, PIG mum told me to ring dearest dad, coz he'd told her to after she'd picked me back up. Then I rang the NAB, apologising and explaining that I'd be late.
-Anyways, while PIG mum tootled me off to UQ , I finished both eyes and finished my mostly silent chat to Percy the saint/angel, then, opening both eyes along Coronation Drive, Era helped Ela stretch for five minutes, before Ela opened and closed her palm fifty times, holding each for a count of five.
-Hey, Aunty Ling's here now, so fingers crossed I can bbl, else hope everyone has a smashing weekend!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
