Am I in Lego Star Wars?

I was trying to fathom out my current predicament last night and came up with 2 theories:

1. I have been chosen to test the real life version of some computer game:
  • Level 1. Player's central heating is removed. In summer. Easy.
  • Level 2. Player's kitchen is removed.
  • Level 3. Player's bedroom is removed.
  • Level 4. Player's water is cut off and piped in through an open window.
  • Level 5. Conditions change. It's snowing. Still no heating and afore-mentioned pipe freezes.
  • Level 6. Player's electricity goes off without warning, about once a day, usually after dark.
  • Level 7. Weird things start happening. Inanimate objects, aimed at player's head, fly through the air while player is travelling at speed. Quick thinking is required.
  • Level 8. The game picks up pace. Use of player's right arm is removed.
  • etc...
2. I have said "I can cope with anything if Quent stays healthy" just once too often and someone is having a laugh.

Helen Webb - what is going on?! I think a sense of humour failure is fully justified. Was Barnsley really that bad that you had to go to such lengths to avoid it. Arranging for somebody to be ready on the M1 to lob a rock through your windscreen is extreme enough but when that failed, to hurl yourself halfway through the floor is really going some. Maybe a get well present could be replacing one of your missing house components. It could be a multiple choice question - what would you like most. a) kitchen. b) heating. c) water. d) bedroom.

Hi! Sorry been silent so long, have been buried in all sorts of things which I though rather exciting like riding, getting hens, getting more hens, eating omlettes, eating boiled eggs, eating more boiled eggs (can you freeze eggs?) BUT when Icaught up with y our blog, it seems nothing next to shoulders out of place, rocks out of place etc. But lets get things in perspective, the main thing is that Quent is still a Beaver...or is that Oakly?! and he's healthy. Hope it stays that way and the health investigations say that he's been looking after his acrobatic wife too much... Love and thoughts, Paula

Helen - I just wanted you to know that I check into your blog from time to time and am always pleased to hear that Quent is battling - he would make a fine Australian. They (we) love a battler. From sunny Sydney I cannot offer anything to ease your current housing / weather / Barnsley related issues, but I thought I'd say Hi and let you know I was thinking of you.
Love from downunder, Niki A xx
