I should laugh more… it would ease the tension!!! Instead I put the little white earbuds attached to my Precious in my ears and keep my head down… Safer than getting my block knocked off. Oh yeah, and slip an extra post onto the blog by way of giving myself some head space…
Actually, I really don’t have a whole lot to say this afternoon. Mr Africa touched base of course on Saturday morning, that resulted in a flurry of typing – funny how that happens. It’s a very silly situation and while totally lovely to be the object of interest I am [reasonably] sane enough to know that it really doesn’t have a prayer of going anywhere… I mean, his politics are the extreme opposite of mine, and as if that weren’t enough his expression of faith is the other extreme as well.
…and, oh yeah, he lives on the other side of the planet (!)
So… keep telling me I’m daft if you see that twinkle in my eye, and remind me that it is all just very good fun and not serious in the least.
Honestly, I do feel as if I am very much in the way of having a very good friend over there. We certainly write on the same wavelength, have complimentary interests in other areas and if nothing else our correspondence would make for great publishing. (So if you are a publisher out there and are looking for well written story – one that doesn’t have an ending… slip me an email …)
He is out of town this week, a journalist on assignment elsewhere in Africa. A Very Good Thing so that I can concentrate on other aspects of work.
Like the fact I just landed another contract for a website facelift!!!
Oh Shit… Now I need to reevaluate how I am using my time… I think I need a couple of days off the normal job to get my head together!!!!
[GRIN..]
Not a bad set of problems to have is it??

Ooooh! I’m as giddy as a child over this! (Yeah, I know. I’m NOT helping, am I?) I actually squealed out loud just now, because at first I misread “Mr. Africa touched DOWN…” and I was like “EEEEEEEK! He is THERE! He went to visit her! It’s love! There will be weddings and babies…”
Are we getting a bit ahead of ourselves? ;-D
So sorry I haven’t replied to your lovely e-mail yet! About the trip… of course I understand, but I’d be lying if I said that I’m not very disappointed! Just know that the invite remains wide open!

I too had a cheesy grin when I read this ;)
And cool about the website makeover. Don’t forget to post a link when you’re done with it so I can have a stickybeak.
