           Overheard  a  man  in  the  chemists  complaining  to  the
            assistant of aches n pains, she asked him what he wanted
            from  her  and  I  didn't  hear  what  he  asked  for  but  she
            exclaimed, "We don't do THAT sort of thing here Sir!"

           I  am  REALY  struggling  today.  Even  the  smallest  task
            seems  frightening  and  insurmountable  I've  had  a
            mountain  of  ironing  waiting  for  a  week  -  not  even
            waiting for me to muster up the energy to do it, but just
            for me to muster up the where-with-all to carry it to the
            ironing shop! Or ring them to fetch it! My flat looks like a
            3  roomed  jumble  sale  &  I've  spent  the  past  hour
            mustering up the strength & courage to take the bin bags
            down the stairs and out to the bins!

           This was truly gleaming & sparkling in the sunlight when I
            got up the other morning - just like the sky scrapers do in
            New  York.  It  really  reminds  me  of  being  there  -
            especially when it shines while I'm brewing fresh coffee!
            If YOU LOVE NY & you want to bring a taste of the
            Big Apple into YOUR home - treat yourself to this piece
            (Or drop a few hints to your Valentine!)

           An  entire  day  of  trying  to  get  warm...and  failing,  (Hot
            drinks,  layers  of  clothes,  a  shawl,  moving  around,
            rubbing hands together & a constant, unwinnable battle
            of switching the almost completely useless wall heater on
            & off & on & off to maximise its minimal short bursts
