Ten Minutes to Maidenhead
Slough arrives and the train empties leaving only half done crosswords discarded on seats and luggage racks to remember their presence
Still 10 minutes to Maidenhead. Too short a time to sleep, flick open my book for a few paragraphs, glance up at Burnham, stretch at Taplow, envy the houses by the water as we cross the river then time to collect bags and jackets as Platform 2 slides by and stops.

Wease's Flower Arrangement
My Mother gave me this strange wire thing at New Year - neither she nor I really knew what to do with is and as Mum and Dad's house is uber-cluttered and mine is still progressing happily towards my over-cluttered goal I took it off her hands and finally, having placed it 'artistically' on the old computer table I decided to add some flowers!
Does this now mean I have to start making marmalade, learn to knit and join the WI? Maybe that was my Mother's plan all along...
Wease the Invalid
Woke up this morning feeling like I have a hangover. Now I don't mind hangovers - actually that is totally untrue I hate them but I do like drinking so I tolerate them, grudgingly. However as I didn't have any alcohol yesterday I feel this is very unfair as I haven't enjoyed any pleasure before the pain.
Seems that a combination of lack of sleep and my MS have led to this feeble state and so I have designated myself an invalid for the day and have taken to my, well, not sick-bed more like weary-sofa. Calling occassionally for cups of tea and trying to tempt the cat to come and sit on my head like a some kind of living fur hat.
Now all I need to find is a tartan blanket, a large pair of sunglasses and a turban and my invalid image would be complete ....
