Today we’ve been showing off the delights of Shropshire to my nephew and his wife. They both work in London (crazy young people!) and are used to
fancy-pancy delights like double-decker buses, i-phones and electricity. So we gave them the rural Shropshire
experience, but softy style (you know how easy it is to scare these city types). We had lunch at the Royal Oak
in Cardington and it was delicious (again) then went off on a drive around the
countryside with a couple of stops – Langley Chapel and Acton Burnell Castle – for full
isolated, squawking-crow atmosphere . We
have now released the poor couple and I think they plan to make up for today with
some serious shopping in Shrewsbury
tomorrow. Stand by shop keepers!

And now for something completely different. Yesterday I came across a couple of kids
dismantling a fence next to an industrial unit. The other-half was remonstrating reasonably
with them when all of a sudden, much to my own surprise, I waded in, calling
them ‘a pair of little shits’. I’ve
decided sudden, uncontrollable and aggressive swearing is an (unlisted) side effect of
chemo and that I’m not responsible for my own actions. Anyone want to ****ing well argue with me
about it?
That's made me laugh so much I'm crying! I can't wait to tell N at work, I'm sure she'll feel your year at R7 will have contributed to your new found short fuse too. I'll await your self referral!
