That bloody black cloud again.....

Don't you just love it when you wake up with that nice little black cloud hovering over YOUR head, gaily ignoring everyone else basking in the sunshine, leaving you to wander around in perpetual shadow.

Bloody back hurts. Not that badly, it has been far worse and thanks to Andi's advice the other evening it is better than it was, but it means that I can't do anything and that makes me irritable.

SO, since only me and beloved daughter were around this morning, I thought we would have a nice girly treat and go to the local coffee shop and have a hot chocolate and croissants. I don't do it often, if everyone is around it gets expensive. So we got there and ordered and sat and waited, then got our chocolate, and waited and tried to catch the girl's eye to ask where our food was, but all to no avail. Eventually when the table next to us managed to grab her to complain about their order not arriving, I was able to add our ha'penny worth, plus point out to her the little old lady who had been desperately trying to order tea for the last half hour.

It was NOT busy, and there were at least three girls serving five tables. Then we got the apology: 'Would we mind waiting as they had messed up our order?' Answer: 'Yes we bloody would mind.' We paid for our drinks and left...I didn't get very cross ONLY as beloved daughter would have been embarrassed, and grumpy as I am I would not do that to her, though I did complain, politely and quietly to the manageress. I bought her a nice iced, sticky doughnut in consolation, but it was not what I had wanted.

Oh well, I think I shall just crawl back into my hole and stay there this weekend, it is probably safer.
