Day 71, Friday March 13, 6.15 am: Sorry Linda. You're not, of course, at all lubricious. It's just a word I've been wanting to use for ages without knowning what it means. The only way to make myself look it up in the dictionary - I am a sloth, don't forget - was to use it, then find out what I had just said. I have just looked up 'lubricious' and I apologie unreservedly.
What a great word, though, eh?
Anyway, Mike and Linda...
I was, actually, going to start with me. I was going to tell you after 10 days of a cold and stomach bug, I still managed to clock 6 lengths of crawl, a world record for a Head Sloth. I was going to tell you how well my piano is going, and how badly my golf is developing. I was going to tell you that I went to the gym yesterday for the first time in a week and that my weight has dipped below 78kg for the first time since 1993 (more of that later).
But my thunder has been well and truly stolen by One-Lung Mike and Not-At-All-In-Any-Possible-Way-Lubricous Linda. Here am I, tinkering with my waist line and tinkling with ivories and M and L have a New Year's Resolution to turn their lives upside down (we have not heard of them yet, incidentally, because they haven't had time. They still haven't got time. They are, after all, too busy. Turning their lives upside down).
I have very few details but, essentially, if I've got the gist, they are resolved to sell their house, move to their holiday residence in France and re-invent their lives.
Bloody brilliant! Mind-boggling boldness!
And the news is, that, despite choosing the maddest time for such an undertaking, they have at least and at long last managed to let out their house. They have now moved into a short-term house-babysitting arrangement and, if I understood their garbled phone message, the move is on for the end of this month!
Truly, truly, tantalisingly terrific!
Even if I am fairly convinced that neither One-Lung nor Not-At-All-In-Any-Possible-Way-Lubricious could manage six lengths of crawl...
I will update you with their details as soon as they have a micro-second.
