people, particularly womans, i was only kidding when i said, come and read to me. or at least i've got smses and mails from everyone who all say they're coming sunday. please don't it is a long way and i'll probably be sleepy and/or grouchy half the time and besides which i look monstrous. i do appreciate it i really do not to sound so ungrateful and i know i'll be bored out of my mind this weekend but. erm. at least, if you are really coming to hold my hand and sponge my fevered brow erm could it be one at a time (or two by two, like noah's ark says addy) i don't think i can manage the excitement of a great party descending, like the assyrian. i'll be back in another 3 hours for another dose of something green and disgusting tasting not even su-lin can like them. and i hear sounds in my left ear. metallic clonging tunes. bizarre. i go back to bed.
