Home again

I return from my sojourn in London to discover that Mrs effay has completely wrecked one of the computers whilst attempting to install a Tweenies game on it. I have a horrible feeling that I am going to have to set it up again from scratch; this is not good. I also discovered that the Little effay’s trousers no longer fit as they have been washed in the wrong cycle. I suspect that this is all the wife’s way of punishing me for disappearing for a couple of days.

London was fun, although the hilarity was interspersed with horrific news about people in hospitals I hope everything works out okay for them both.

Lots of interesting conversations and intellectual treats such as visiting the cinema to watch a witty and sophisticated foreign film. Lots of gossip as well, which I am to discreet to reproduce here. However, I will share one thing which I only actually realized upon my arrival back home: Infinite Thought is such a wirehead that she actually blogs during her own dinner parties. Can you believe that?

At least I don't translate during my own dinner parties, unlike someone else I won't mention....

I make it sound like I'm cross in that post, when I was merely tired (carrying around all that mince, probably). It was a lovely party!

For readers of this blog some revealing info: Johneffay has so many CDs that he couldn't find a single new one he wanted, even though I took him to Berwick St and just about every other bloody record shop in the whole of London. The big bastard!

I need loads more CDs, just not the ones in London record shops. Anyway, I'd already received nine from the Cuddly Scotsman before we set off shopping.

I was glad when the Mild Prince of Italian Marxism started translating during the dinner party: It was the only time I could get a whole sentence out in without being interrupted!

"the only time I could get a whole sentence out in [sic.] without being interrupted!"

Were you trying to get it in or out? Make up your mind. In some cultures it's rude to interrupt; in others it's rude not to; in Italy it's rude not to.

What would an INTRAruption be like?

Either would have been good.
