Last few days... ~*Sam Spade*~

*Boxing Day*

I went Sales shopping with Mum on Boxing Day. We didn't hit all the shops as there was something specific I was going for.

In the shop, the salesman was giving me his patter. Mum interrupted saying, "You've got lovely long eyelashes; they just sweep upwards." The guy blushed as much as a guy with light brown skin can blush.

I exclaimed, "Mum, stop flirting with him!"

He left to see if the item I was wanting was in stock. When he came back, I said to him, "You know, that 5 would look much better as a 4..." I was trying to get a reduction in the price but I was unsuccessful *sigh*

Mum said, "Now you're flirting with him!"

I replied, "Ah, but my flirt was business. Yours was pleasure!"

We all laughed.

*Yesterday*

Our eldest son was in respite so my husband and I planned to take our youngest out for a late lunch/early tea then onto the cinema. We didn't make the cinema as my husband is still recovering from his bug and he looked exhausted so we're going today.

We went for a meal in a village pub where we've eaten a few times before. It's a lovely place so we keep going back.

Our meals were served and the waitress asked my son if he'd wanted more gravy. He didn't respond and I noticed he'd not heard her so I prompted him. "[Name] do you want more gravy?"

He said, "No thank you."

The waitress said, "Ok," then paused and asked, "Did [Name] go to Montessori?"

I was surprised and said, "Yes. Did you work there?" although I quickly realised she could have been a parent of one of the children who attended the same time.

Not only was this a 'small world' moment, it was a 'time' moment. My youngest son is currently 11 years old and left Montessori before he was 4!

She said, "Yes and I thought I recognised [Name] from the last few times you'd been in."

What a small world!

*Early Hours of this Morning*

That was really tough. I'd taken a while to get to sleep and realised I must have actually succeeded because I was woken up. I suddenly shot out of bed because my right calf muscle had locked and it was agony. It took me a while to be able to flatten my foot and I thought the cold bathroom floor would help. It worked and now I've got a dull ache in my calf muscle.

Well, I must have slept because I ended up having a dream:-

Our solar system had acquired a new sun. We don't know where it came from; it just appeared but its light was different. It was very bright. Something happened to our existing sun. Something crashed into it.and it began to explode. We were worried that was the end of us all but it wasn't. The new sun had taken the old sun's place and furnished us with the light and heat we needed. We had to adapt to the new light and it was hard on our eyes for a while.

My leg still aches.
