Don't Worry!

I was walking down my stairs this afternoon when suddenly my right slipper slipped. I slithered down a few steps then came to a skittering halt with a thud.

I felt my back being a bit jarred by the thunk as I landed and I am dreading it seizing up so I am moving and stretching a bit from time to time.

No need for flowers or anything! I will be fine!!

Willy's Wise Words ... the new blog

Everyone here is eagerly awaiting the launch of my new blog. After a bit of admin and so on I have created the blog.

New name: Willy's Wise Words
Address: http://wordwisewilly.wordpress.com/

I have created the blog and will start to populate it within the next day or so: it will not only be a book review blog as I have decided to widen its brief. This blog will consider reviews of all sorts of goods and services, including books, restaurants, hotels, airlines, shoes ... you name it and I will consider it for review.

White Trousers ... so attractive!

I was drawn to a pair of white trousers recently so I bought them: totally tropical enhancement to my generally poor wardrobe.

The first time I wore them I went to dinner in an hotel and came away unscathed in spite of the soup bowl being a very poor fit for its saucer ... twice I almost had soup all down those trousers!

Last night I went to the MK Restaurant in the Bang Kapi Mall. I wore my clean and pressed white, tropical trousers. The MK food is dangerous for a potential slopper like me so I was extra careful. I WAS careful and came away unscathed by my own efforts.

Then I wasn't reckoning on the talents of the waitress! What follows is true!

I had carefully stacked and arranged all dishes and glasses and the waitress did her job well, transferring everything from table to trolley. Then she got to the little dish into which they pour their fantastic dipping sauce. She poured the remnants of the sauce into her slop bucket and as she then moved to put the dish onto the trolley, she knocked it and it slipped from her grasp. As the dish hit the tiled floor it smashed into several pieces. The pieces flew hither and yon. Yon being my left leg. The left leg of my previously pristine, tropical issue white trousers now sported a decent sized splodge of brown sauce.

I couldn't believe it! How the spirits could have engineered such a result is beyond me but happen it did!

With my own efforts and the help of the waitress I got most of the stain out but let's see what my washing machine can do for me!

This explains the title ... attractive trousers ... they WILL attract a mess!!

Airport Lounge but Where did I put the Marmite?

I wrote this a while ago but it wasn't posted for some reason ...

I am at Manchester Airport but not flying Emirates or Business Class so I am happy to report that I am still able to rest in one of the lounges. My bank account comes with world wide access to airport lounges. Praise be!

Two weeks ago I bought two jars of Marmite: one for home and one for travelling. I have just realised that I don't remember seeing the travelling jar in the suitcase. So where is it? Somewhere idiotic no doubt. I'll find out when I get back home I suppose!

Eyes and Birds

Not the best snaps ever but they're all mine!

I think birds are mother and child. Snake is unconnected to the birds and no birds were eaten in the taking of these photos!
