Earlier that Same Day

A decent but dull start to the day, however as it progressed there was a lot more salt in the air until it was washed away by an airborne sprinkler attachment.  I came in from washing the car into the bathroom.  For some reason only known to itself a large part of the shower screen detached itself, hit my head, the side of the bath but didn’t shatter!  Undeterred I called my GP to ask for a prescription.  It was indicated that they couldn’t arrange for the prescription to be picked up in Kirkwall.  I was advised to call Boots in Kirkwall.  I called Boots and they said this was a patent nonsense and told me to call my GP.  I said the GP (in Stromness) had never sent prescriptions to Sutherlands in Kirkwall but only Boots.  Puzzled?  Bibs offered to go and pick it up so it would be a clear case of Puss In Boots.  CMC said she would pick it up and read the riot act.  (Probably to me).  This gave me time to go and saw some logs and empty the compost.  I have just noticed CMC’s suitcase on the bed (I am not allowed in the bedroom).  We  received a wedding invitation for an Inverness wedding for the Summer.  Even more alarmingly I went along to visit my Mum.  I found her with her head inside her wardrobe looking for tins of dog food.  (She hasn’t had a dog for about twenty years).  She also asked me about my brothers.  However, unprompted, she remembered something that happened in North Waled about 61 years ago.  Back at base, I made a pie to go in the oven and wrote a report to the Chair of the Friends of the Hoy Kirk.  All with no safety net.  Rather bizarrely, especially on a wet Tuesday early evening, I find out that, unwittingly, the maenads have incorrectly lent their name to the ‘Spoonerism of the Month’ competition.
