So - That's Item #8 crossed off.
Spoke in public today. Was a bit mad, to be honest - was supposed to write about the joy of grammar (yeah...exciting, eh?). It was only about an hour before I opened my mouth that I realised I'd written a speech that was mainly about punctuation...rather than grammar as a whole. I quick re-write in a local , independent cafe (oh yeah, still keeping that up), and I had enough to just about get by. I'd been told I'd been talking to a bunch of adults, but as it turned out, it was due to be to a bunch of 16 year-olds. Some of whom were dressed up for Hallowe'en - if you've never explained the tremendous significance of commas and clauses to a roomful of people including Hermione Granger, Alice in Wonderland, and a guy dressed as Sherlock, but in Doctor Who socks, you've never entirely lived, trust me.
If I told you that that was by far the least weird thing that happened today, would you believe me?
d and I went out for dinner to celebrate a day that may well have brought in some business. Not a great night for the losing of the three stone, but still...
Got home, discovered an unconscious blonde woman sprawled at the top of the staircase. Red dress. No shoes, no bag...erm...no underwear (dress hiked up). Presumed drunk, but also, as it happened, epileptic - having had a fit a while ago, which explained a bandage on her wrist with an old bloodstain.
d called the ambulance service. They eventually got her to an ambulance to take her and check her out.
So - Speaking In Public - done. Spotting mysterious blondes in red dresses and bog-all else...Sigh...Clearly I really should have put more thought into the damn list...
