Hangover Blog

I'm blogging because I know I ought to but don't expect too much, I'm actually sitting here on a beautiful sunny evening because I have such a bad hangover sitting in the sun is not an option!! It's all R+R's fault! I took a litre bottle of wine round there for a braai yesterday afternoon and no-one else drinks wine. Now I did know that but I would not have drunk so much if they'd had helped. I also finished off the wine left by the friends they had round the previous evening - so you see I was not to blame fully. Matters were not helped by Carol! At 6.10am we woke to a cow bellowing - loudly. Thinking that a neighbours bull had got in we went out to investigate, me muttering at what a ridulous thing this was to be doing on a Sunday morning, to find Carol had got herself into the front paddock and separated from Nelson. She is still feeding and I think she must have got to the stage where she needed to off load some milk. I reckon she had got into the paddock through the fencing when the electric was off with Eric taking the quad in and out of the back paddock weed spraying. The fencing then went back on we had not noticed she had roamed. Anyway Mom and calf (that's a joke, he's almost as big as his mom) were reunited and I said to Eric 'Now can I go to bed and do my hangover properly please?!' As we walked back to the house Eric then stunned me by saying he supposed he would get ready for work - it was Monday!!! Thank heavens I am on annual leave. As it was he didn't, he made tea and came back to bed. I stayed there until 9.30am. Now I have to say that as hangovers go this was not too bad, but as I am still feeling ill at 7pm i reckon I was still in the drunk stage and the hangover has crept up on me during the day. I feel no better after an afternoon snooze and am looking forward to bed again in a few hours!

For those of you who went 'Eric on a quad'???? Yes you read right. R+R very kindly lent Eric one of their quads for the weekend so Eric could tackle the back paddock which currently has so many thistles the grass has nowhere to grow.

Eric is in there, to the right of the tree, if you look really hard!

And this is me, out of a sense of fairness. Eric was not impressed I posted the piccie of him in the pool. This one he took unbeknown to me. Obviously it does not display too much adipose tissue (relatively that is!!), or you would not be looking at it now!!

Too tired to blog further. Another time.
