Lying in My Bed, Thinking of You....

25. On your bedside table: What's on your bedside table? And if you don't have one... what's beside your bed?

As my mum is prone to say "What a mess, what a mess".

My table is a veritable schmorgesborg of "mess".

All needed btw.

Three journals. I scribble things as well as scribble here daily. Various books, in various stages of reading. Face cream, hand cream, leg cream. Inhalers. Charger, magazine, pencils, and my pen, which Dad Mk 2 bought me. Is made from the Desks at my old High School. I write important things with that. And my Kindle, Which I heart, and the alarm clock which you can't really see because Marianne Keyes is very kindly covering up the digital display which really annoys me.

We have a brilliant video, taken when mater and I holidayed in Florida, way back in 1986. Most of the video consisted of "wow ... America.... Wow... Look Look Look Awe, Big mac, Wooow... Dolphins.. Wow. Mickey...."

But there is this one part at the end, where mum is examining the hotel room - and says, "what a mess, what a mess".

I can't say "What a mess" without thinking of that.
