Accidental Musings

Sickness continued...

Sorry, hated to leave the post hanging like that but I really had no choice. The pain became too much and I had to get me home to bed. Tony was looking for an excuse to escape the office, so he offered to run me home. Back at work today after a lot of bed rest, vitamin C and aspirin...

But to continue...

As wonderful as Saturday evening was, I did notice that my mind was unusually quick to deliberately mis-interpret what was being said. Considering that all those present were speaking entirely without malice or suggestiveness, I kept finding myself battling not to pass comments when I heard such things as:
"I want to puff on someone else's cigar."
"This one's pretty small, and the end is wet."
"When was the last time you had a good ride?"
...which referred respectively to someone having been offered their own cigar, describing a cigarillo which was currently in use, and inquiring as to how much cycling the other had recently enjoyed.

Where is my mind...?

Anyway, Sunday was an awesome day - went out to Stellenbosch with the parents to watch Douglas playing hockey, as he had been chosen for Maties firsts - very impressive. And they were playing Ikeys! Doug played well, but the final scoreline favoured UCT. And then a fabulous lunch at the Blue Orange with Douglas and Carli and Lianda, Doug's g/f. (I hadn't met her before, though everyone else had).

I'll end off here before I get myself into any more trouble, but before I go, I'll make one final suggestion:

Read "Questionable Content". You won't regret it.
