Woke up this morning ..... Head splitting in pain, nausea threatening to overwhelm me..... And then the thoughts came.... What happened last night? What did I do? What did I say? How bad was I? Then I thought, 'hang on a minute, all I did last night was watch 'the Great British Bake Off' with my kids and then 'Panic Room' with my husband. All I drank was herbal tea. So why am I feeling like this? Oh right, I must be sick. Phew. I can deal with that. No biggie. Bit inconvenient but no need for shame, regret and self-loathing to join the party. And then it struck me that there's silver linings everywhere..... Even when I'm sick I can think, 'could be worse. Could be drinking'.
Have a wonderful time in London, tynesider. It's a fabulous place. Ok, I'm biased. And you know, the people are a lot less grumpy in London than people say. I've started talking to people on the tube over the last few years and I've met some lovely people there. And no-one's acted like I'm crazy for starting a conversation on the tube. Ok, maybe they've thought I'm crazy but they've been too polite to mention it. Have a great time xxx
