fruit, fundraising and assault

Wednesday


Came back from my gruelling ohysio session to find what looked like an affray on the drive On closer inspection, it was seen that the group consisted of 2 assorted postladies aand an unidentified man. The ladies were vying for mlt's attention (he does cultivate them). The man watched this scenario without emotion but the mood hanged abruptly as they left and he revealed that he was a police inspector and was investigating a sexual assault which was alleged to have taken place on our drive the previous night.between two cars, As it was quickly established that we have only one the policeman lost interest in us and cleared off (in a northerly direction). We were surprised that we had heard nothing ( a suprise tinged with disappointment on mh's side,


Tuesday
I heard some disturbing news from our local ms centre, The man who has been employed for the last 3 years to raise much needed funds has been told to leave as he was not raising sponsorship but still accepting his enormous salary.,(in short we were runnung him at a loss!) He says that he has been dismissed unfairly and has employed a solicitor to get as much money as possible out of the centre We haven't got much but would have had more if he had done his job properly!


Sunday
Went into kitchen for lunch. I always like to have an orange before lunch. I have forced myself to do this as I don't like fruit very much but find I can face a piece at this time, In fact I positively crave one.It has taken a lomg time ro get to this pitch, whereas it took no time at all to train myself to want a cream biscuit at 3 p.m. with my cup of tea.And even less time to want a Belgian choc (or two) after my evening meal.


I thought that the avocado would have reached the right degree of softness to be edible. 'How is ithe avocado feeling?' I asked. Mlt. looked a bit taken back as though I were posing the same question with which interviewers seem to bombard victims of tragedy.
