Two for the price of one! This is the pick of the two, to be honest.<\/p>\n
From:<\/span><\/strong> Kirsty Jordan Hi All,<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019m feeling a bit under the weather today, and plan to head off home as soon as I\u2019ve written this. I think it\u2019s just a cold, but as I was in Brazil earlier in the week, Zika virus is another possibility, which is about as common as acute lead poisoning over there at the moment. Got back on Valentines day, but I didn\u2019t get my first card until yesterday. Well, it wasn\u2019t so much a card, as a hand written note left on my bicycle, by \u201cTim\u201d. Tim is obviously quite a reticent person, as rather than confess his feelings openly, he disguised it as an indictment on my bicycle locking ability. But you\u2019re not fooling anyone, you silly boy! My ebike has another locking feature, which renders the wheels immobile, severely impairing it\u2019s usefulness as a mode of transport. Sure, you could lift it up and carry it away, but as you know, that f**ker weighs a ton, and if you tried to put it into the back of your truck, I\u2019d probably notice as it\u2019s just outside my office. Why the need to hide your love for a middle aged scheduling lady with this tissue of lies? It\u2019s 2017 man! Well, I didn\u2019t have much time yesterday to reflect on poor repressed Tim, because, as Chris carelessly revealed last week, I had a shoulder ultrasound booked. This was a horrendous experience, which took me completely by surprise. Before this I thought radiographers and ultrasonographers were lovely, kind people. They seem to put up with all sorts of grumpiness in theatre and never lose their cool: but now I know the truth \u2013 under that gentle exterior lies the heart of a brutal sadist. You know, if I could put my hand in my back pocket like you\u2019re asking me to, I wouldn\u2019t need the ultrasound in the first place, would I? And yes, of course I\u2019m hunched over: I\u2019m in agony, you stupid woman. And you\u2019re not fooling anyone with that cheery \u201cjust hold it, I\u2019m nearly finished\u2026\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 I\u2019m just waiting for the result now. I\u2019m thinking of something like \u201cthat\u2019s the worst injury I\u2019ve ever seen, how terribly brave you\u2019ve been to put up with the no doubt excruciating pain for so long, no you don\u2019t need surgery because I can fix it in a jiffy with this painless injection\u2026.\u201d Fingers crossed.<\/span><\/p>\n In the meantime, we are still unloading boxes in our house, and bemoaning the lack of space. More excess furniture off to charity, unless anyone wants a spare bookshelf, lounge suite, desk, rowing machine\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n ………….<\/span><\/p>\n That\u2019s it for me, I\u2019m off home to bed. I will be monitoring developments via the miracle of wifi and my ipad, though, so keep me up to date with any news\/concerns you have, and I will be just as responsive as I usually am.<\/span><\/p>\n Hasta luego.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Two for the price of one!
