Bit quiet
I haven’t got much of anything to say at the moment. I’ve tried to write, but everything I write right now is crap(per than usual). You wouldn’t want to read it. Trust me.
At first I thought that I’m writing crap because there is nothing to write about. My head is empty of words, like a lake without fish. Or a lake where all the fish are floating stinkily on the surface. However, there is always something to write about. For example:
1. I saw a sign on a lorry yesterday that said “Frozen bodies”. What did it really mean? Is there a serial killer on the loose in Windhoek who is sneakily getting away by boldly advertising his foul misdeeds in the hope that no-one would believe it? Should I inform the police?
2. Why are there two evangelical Christian bookshops in the mall, yet it boasts not a single general bookshop?
3. Who reads books entitled ‘The spiritual habits of 9 successful men’, and ‘Jews for Jesus’ anyway? Who thinks that inspirational fridge magnets and bumper stickers that say “Don’t follow me, follow Jesus!” are quirky and cute? Are they really human?
4. Is it really necessary for our new receptionist to come into my office every single day to insist that her yahoo email account is faulty because every email she sends to a certain address gets bounced back, and can I fix it?
5. How much snot is it possible for one girl to produce? Where does it all come from? When will it stop? Currently, I sound like Boris, the Snorty Pig-Dog, who sits outside my house all day hawking and grunting like a warthog with a sinus infection.
So, you see, there are topics that usually would provide much inspiration for scintillating mind-food. At the moment, though, I can do nothing with them. So I’m going home, so that I can moan gently in private, and so that I have somewhere to burn my rapidly growing pile of mucus-encrusted tissues without constituting a danger to others.
Adieu.

It is INCREDIBLY the amount of nasal mucous one person can produce, I find …..

Ohhh, I can tell you where all the snot comes from…but I swear, the physiology behind it doesn’t make the diarrhea of the nose any more enjoyable.
Hope you feel better soon!

Thankfully the mucus avalanche has subsided. I am feeling much better, thank you!
La Cubana Gringa – I think I would, perversely, like to know more about the production of snot. It sounds interesting!
Birdy – isn’t it ridiculous? So many tissues, so many trees.
Mel – I hope your sinusitisising is better. I think you win the snotting competition! x
Um, Victoria, I’m in an anti-dating frame of mind right now. I just can’t be arsed to go through all that bollocks again, and frankly, I’m more worried that at the moment, men will think I’m from Hades rather than Venus, so I’ll pass. Thanks though.
