Just another Friday Early Start

Well glory be and ping your pants across the bedroom like an elastic band, prepare yourselves lovelies it's only gone and turned into Wonderous Friday overnight. I must admit at this point I may be a little overly excited at this point, because I got into work at 6 today, and I just running on nervous energy which always makes me a little hyperactive. Which to be honest is ideal in you happen to be in a very large, people free double factory unit! You can skip around the place, sneeze as loud as you like, (nothing finer than a sneeze when you can just shout it out) turn radio 2 up very loud and sing along to the music, using a pen as a microphone while waiting for the kettle to boil. You can have a little dance while checking proofs against prints and use two pens as drumsticks when Phil Collins comes on the radio with "In the Air Tonight"! You really can't help air drumming to that one can you.

Sorry, I do apologise, I may of gotten a little too exuberant there for this hour. I shall have a sip of coffee and try to calm down a bit. Ooo 'exuberant' that's a good word isn't it? Sounds almost like a fruit based pudding. Hmmm. Yes waiter, the small pot of strawberry exuberant sounds simply delightful. I shall have two of those please.

Sorry, distracted again! Calm yourself, steady your horses and keep your powder dry Mr Tidy, you have a long day ahead of you. Breathe in . . . and out . . . Ahh, that's better. I do actually have a small work mountain to climb today, all very stressful must be out the door by the end of the day kind of stuff, such is the crazy world of graphic design with it's almost laughable deadlines. "You want it when!!?" Still, I'm sure I'm not the only one, with silly deadlines and stressfilled fridays. Though, if we can still keep a smile on our faces while under the stress anvil, we must be doing something right I reckon.

So no matter what your Friday flings at you, because have no doubt it will fling something. I hope that you will manage to stay on top of it with a smile on your face because it is the Wonderous Friday. I also really hope that you get the chance to act as though no one else is at work with you at least once today, because left to our own devices it's good to sprinkle a bit of silly over the day. SUCH FUN! (That was for cousin Brett) See you all on the flip side of the weekend, you bunch of simply awesome people. X x X

"Trifle"

Meal’s at the end,
Hold your belch and count to ten,
Too full to move and then,
Hear my heart strain again.

For this is the end.
I've drained my glass, so payment,
So overdue I owe them.
Dessert’s here, I'm stolen

Let’s have trifle,
Apple crumble,
Maybe fruit fool,
Have it all together

Let’s have trifle,
Apple crumble,
Maybe fruit fool,
Have it all together
with trifle
Love trifle

Trifle is where we start
Hundred’s ‘n’ thousands it looks so smart
There’s white chocolate and some dark
You may have my starter, you can take my main
But you'll never have my pud

Let’s have trifle (Let’s have trifle)
Apple crumble (Apple crumble)
Maybe fruit fool (maybe fruit fool)
Have it all together

Let’s have trifle (Let’s have trifle)
Apple crumble (Apple crumble)
Maybe fruit fool (maybe fruit fool)
Have it all together
with Trifle

Let’s have trifle,
Apple crumble,
Maybe fruit fool

Where trifle goes I go
What you eat I eat
I know I'd never be me
Without pudding you see
Your sponge fingers
and strawberry jelly
Put my spoon in my hand
Eat from the stand

Let’s have trifle (Let’s have trifle)
Apple crumble (Apple crumble)
Maybe fruit fool (maybe fruit fool)
Have it all together

Let’s have trifle (Let’s have trifle)
Apple crumble (Apple crumble)
Maybe fruit fool (maybe fruit fool)
Have it all together
With trifle

Let’s have trifle
We will be full
with trifle

Involuntary Exhaustion

PHEW!! A very weary good morning to you dear status reader. I haven't forgotten it's Friday or 'The Blessed Friday' as I now like to call it, but I honestly at this moment in time I am feeling totally exhausted and my Blessed Friday has only just begun. (. . . to live, White lace and promises, A kiss for luck and we're on our way) Sorry! I just slipped into the Carpenters there, easilly done! (No, don’t say that! Tuh! RUDE!). I feel like I have just spent an hour at the gym doing a full repeated circuit work out. Obviously I haven't, that would be stupid! No, I'm afraid it's all down to my body rebelling at me first thing in the morning! Now you mustn't laugh at this as it's traumatic. (Now you see, with me just saying that you're smiling already! That is a pre-smirk smile! RUDE!) Anyway, let me explain.

The day started ok, I came down stairs, avoiding falling over cats, who insist in waiting outside the bedroom door just for the purpose of trying to trip me up on the dark landing or strairs I'm sure! I then went into the kitchen and grabbed my morning glass of OJ. That's when the trouble started.

I don't know if I drank it too quickly or what caused it, but hiccups happened, great big ones as well, you know the sort! The ones that actually almost feel like they are lifting you from the floor, whist making you make a ridiculous noise. They then carried on happening as I was trying to put my boots on to leave. (Not an easy task to perform with boisterous hiccups I'll have you know!) I managed to put on my coat and clamber into the car and drive to work, all the while accompanied by enormous hiccups! Still! They had been going on for so long now that they were actually tiring and you sort of have to do a little sigh after each one. Honestly to any driver behind me it must of looked like the road ahead was covered with pot holes that I was going over and he was somehow magically avoiding.

Anyway I finally arrived at work after bouncing hiccup style all the way and got out the car. Now at this point I must point out, (too many 'points' there, sorry about that) that we have an alarm system at work that goes off when you open the door and doesn't stop until you swish it with an electronic key. Always stressful as you know you only have two minutes before it automatically calls the police. Anyway I opened the door and attempted to step through it, but because of all the exhausting hiccups I stumbled on the door step, causing me to gasp, which then induced a bout of morning coughing! Never pleasant. Which was ended by me violently multi-sneezing! There must of been at least six or seven in a row, which as we know are totally exhausting when they happen all at once! Then the pressure of all that at the same time caused me to trump so loudly that I sounded like a ship arriving into harbour on a foggy morning!! All the while the alarm was screeching in my ear with me unable to do anything about, being paralysed by bodily funtions! Finally I managed to stumble to the alarm panel tripped on the door mat and waved my electronic key at the reader from the floor at arms reach.

Still on the plus side, after I picked myself up off the floor I discovered that all that did put a stop to the hiccups. Although I do feel utterly spent and a little bit traumatised by the whole episode. I wouldn't mind but I must also point out that this isn't the first time that something similar has happened to me either! I'm supposed to be going out for a night on the tiles of Burgess Hill tonight as well! Do feel free to join me should you find yourself in this neck of the woods by the way. (Nope! I've never understood that saying either! Where is a wood's neck exactly?) Still, here's hoping that I manage to recoup some energy for tonight, and that my day gets hugely better to make up for this mornings shenanigans. Here's also hoping that you day gets off to a much better start than mine too, and long may it continue on this Blessed Friday.
