Election decisions

My mother is working at an election night count in the North West....

NorthernMonkey: All set for the count?

NorthernMonkeyMother: Sort of...but I've still loads to do before tonight

NorthernMonkey: Like what?

NorthernMonkeyMother: I've got to do my hair...I want to look nice if I'm going to be on TV when the result is shown

NorthernMonkey: but it'll be 3am, noone will be watching and it's not like you are announcing the result

NorthernMonkeyMother: I know but I might be on in the background and you know Evelyn has insomnia and might be watching and I don't want saying she saw me and my hair was all messy

NorthernMonkey: what else do you have to do then?

NorthernMonkeyMother: I have to decide what to wear...

NorthernMonkey: It'll be a late night with lots of hanging about, go for comfort...how about your jeans?

orthernMonkeyMother: But I don't want to look like I'm supporting any one party...
NorthernMonkey: But unless you have a big rosette on, no-one will look at the colour of your clothes
NorthernMonkeyMother: but they might and i don't want to give the wrong impression or be accused of favouritism when counting
NorthernMonkey: Ok, ok so what are the options?
NorthernMonkeyMother: I think I'll go with the brown trousers with a cream top..or maybe the beige trousers or should I wear my white shirt....

I shall look out for her if I'm still awake. I feel oddly excited by this election, even though I know I'm likely to be upset by the overall outcome.

Sounds like she had her priorities sorted. Did she have fun on the night? Bet she was knackered the next day.

Hello my friend Norbert Mooney :)

I just wanted to drop you a note to say hello and I hope you're well and stuff :)

I know that it has been AGES since I was last 'here', but I do still think of you :) In particular, this last week I have been reminded of you for two separate reasons... Both of them festivals, come to think of it... 1. Chilli and 2. Reading. (** The place, that is, not the activity. In case there was any confusion :) )

Oh, and on top of that, I am acquainted with somebody called Norbert. Who'd have thought ;)

I remember having read soon after you had a Baby Monkey and having let out a squeal of delight and surprise :) ... I also remember "not quite" getting around to actually writing about it and how happy I was for you :)

So, uh, sorry about that ;)

But hey, the thought was there, and I may be late, but I get there in the end... And 100 other such cliché remarks ;)

Anyway, I just wanted to say, "Hey!" and "I hope you're well!" and "I still think of you even although I'm as quiet as a teeny tiny little invisible and mute mouse wearing slippers!"

So...

Hey!

I hope you're well!

I still think of you even although I'm as quiet as a teeny tiny little invisible and mute mouse wearing slippers! :)

... See. :) And even although those were exactly the same things as I just typed, I even went to the effort of actually typing them again rather than copying and pasting them! Hah! You see the lengths I go to for you? ;)

Anyway. I do hope that you are still well, and that you and all the Monkeys in your life are all well and happy and good :)

I see it's been a while since you last wrote anything (tsk! ;) ), but I hope you still -ohbuggerimademyselfacupofteaanhouragoandicompletelyforgottodrinkit- get to see this 'at some point' :)

Be good :)
