#flattenthecurve Episode 24

WFH week 5 cont.

Forgetfulness

Well, the neighbours have been round. Yes, those neighbours with the hot tub from yesterday's episode. I forgot we were part of the same Facebook group.

After a brief discussion, it seems me and the wife have accepted an invitation to pop round for cocktails and snacks in their Hawaiian garden tiki bar on Saturday. Which is nice. I think.

They've said we won't need swimming costumes, which is a relief.

I protested on the grounds of social distancing etiquette, but apparently 'legal avenues' would be persued and they have 'retained hard copies of my blog for their own records'. I'll have to check the precise definition of 'self-incriminating'.

They're 'sure we can sort this out amicably' though. Which is nice. I think.

I also think Mrs. Neighbour must have an ocular problem, she does a lot of winking.

Disclaimer
At this point, it's probably worth reminding people that while this blog portrays real events, some of these real events are imagined.

Thankfully all of this section was just the result of a vivid imagination. But I will be careful about which neighbours I talk about in future. Or at least disguise their identities better.


Accident Prone

Today I have mostly spent injuring myself. So far I have achieved:

- one dead leg, from walking into the corner of the table

- one blood blister from jamming my finger in a window

- one bruised shin from being a clumsy arse on my bike and the pedal swinging round and hitting me.

At the time of writing I have about 6 hours to go before bed time and I have nothing more dangerous to do than walk down a flight of stairs. 111 are on standby just in case.

-

Injury update - no further injuries to report, I did get a little dizzy standing up quickly after lying on the sofa for too long, but a subsequent prolonged period of inactivity minimised any further bodily risk.


Coming of Age?

Henry was in a funny mood today, eventually he confessed that he thought the two spots on his chin meant he had, quote "caught puberty".

And before you ask, apparently laughing at him is not character building. I know, I was surprised too .
