Good evening. I hope you're okay. This blog isn't being written as and when I'd envisioned but never mind.
Let me tell you about my day.
It's my day off from work and I fell out of bed sleepy after a tough week. I had an exam at 9 am and I thought I was doing fine and would be all set. It was an online exam, due last week and delayed.
I went to set up, my laptop crashed and the other one isn't the right spec. I fought to get the laptop working and it started, and then decided to install updates.
I was seething as I logged in in danger of losing my exam because of the time. The proctor knows me and is the most patient person in the world so he told me to stay calm, and he helped me set up.
If I'd taken the exam last week it would have been 100% but I got 85% this time. Which is better than being disqualified. Many thanks to a really good proctor who has calmed me down before.
One of my next adventures was very Limerick. I recently acquired my second ukulele but it needed re-stringing, so I was taking it to the music shop in town.
The one missing string was a G String. Limerick is crazy and so am I, so I wandered round town with my uke, asking people if they'd seen my G String.
In Limerick the reply would be 'Well 'oose 'ouse did you leave it to, you hun?'
When I'd worn the joke out, I headed for the music shop. Left my new baby with them, became a music shop person properly, seeing as I was having an instrument repaired, and went for my shopping.
Later I went and collected the newly repaired instrument, and headed for my bus. I had no plectrum so I used my leap card and the bus queue giggled.
'No busking on the bus' the driver told me sternly 'Not even Limerick you're a lady'
At home, messaging with a friend, we were reminded of my survey a few years ago, where I walked round Limerick asking people if they were normal.
My friend commented that I had surely packed my sanity when I moved over from France, but Limerick had other ideas.
