I would love to go on Gogglebox. To have the cameras pointing at me in my lounge, sat in my PJ’s with a glass of win chatting shit about the current TV I was watching would make me smile! I would probably lose my credibility as a therapist but I still wish I could make an appearance on the next season. I bloody love it! No filters. Saying what you fell like – sharing your opinions and making the nation laugh! The realness of the people on this show makes me smile. I love genuine people who are at ease with what they have to say. You don’t get many of them around here (Except Mrs J in Fishguard – LOVE YOU). I don’t have time to sit and watch much TV – so this way get to catch up on the best bits of the last 7 days!
Favorites are obviously the brother and sister from Blackpool. He is funny and I like him. I like the chemistry between them both. Love Jenny and Lee and of course Giles and Mary from Wiltshire. Who wouldn’t want a cup of tea and a scone with those two?
For me, this peak inside ‘normal’ is very much needed right now. Their normal takes me away from my normal. And my normal is not normal at all. It is chemo drenched and I don’t fit in here. I don’t belong. It is not my world.
My world today? It began at 06;37 am, sat in the lodge, marking assignments. Came up for sir occasionally. My face is crying out for face cream and eye cream – moisture. The wrinkles are that dry, they are flaking off on the key board. Bastards. My belly starts crying out for poached eggs about 3 hours in so I get up, moan under the heaviness of the bones and drag them to the kitchen.
Belly full, I carry on. I feel emotionally and mentally stronger today. it is due to the conversations I had yesterday with my wonderful friend. She gave me a lot to think over which I always welcome.
Thoughts. I have plenty. Shall I share some as I close the day, ready to sleep, and rest and get ready for a busy week ahead?
- Why don’t I make home cooked chips more often?
- Why do I find it hard to watch a dragonfly take it’s last few swoops of life before dying quite quickly in a heap on the floor?
- Why, when I listen to Steve Wright’s Sunday love songs, does he play the same few awful ballads?
- Why don’t I (still) not know the difference between Ant & Dec?
- Why do I cry at Coronation Street when someone leaves the cobbles?
- Why can’t I appreciate red wine like most people do?
- What is stopping me from telling those I dislike most in this world what I really think?
- Why don’t I understand Anime?
- Why did I get cancer?
- Why is my hair growing back when I am full of Docetaxel?
- What is a #?
