Making a lot of feetmark, as my mum would've said

I think it would be true to say I make heavy weather of life. I make heavy weather of all its constituent parts (driving, say, or travelling on trains, going up stepladders, ringing people up, you name it...) and of life as a whole - sometimes you think: what for?

Just recently the buggeration factor has staged a take-over. I'm caught, it seems anyway - maybe I'm overstating (how would I know?) - in the middle of two or three arguments that are not at all of my making; they landed slap bang on top of me like poo from a pigeon. Homed in on me, even. Now is that fair or not? Not, I'd say. And buggeration on top of heavy weather is, well, y'know, a bit depressing.

There's stuff at work, there's stuff at Buster's home, there's stuff elsewhere. What am I? - Argument Central? Am I sending some subconscious cosmic message that I love a good scrap? I don't. I really must start checking out that meditation stuff. If ever a body was in need of a good meditate, it's me, now.

Eeek! Sorry you're having a bad time of it. Maybe another coffee morning is in order. I promise I won't poo on your head like a pigeon.

So sorry to hear about the pigeon poo, and stuff with Buster's home. I too am having pigeon poo with Cs home.
Please feel welcome to email me and compaire poo!
Hope you manage to get it all sorted.

Hi Pat - yes, a coffee would be good, just as soon as I stop working these extra days at work...shame about Saturday!

Hi Casdok - Thanks. Sorry to hear you're having difficulties too. Ours are probably small in the scheme of things but having persuaded Buster to move there we want to make everything as right as we can for him.
I'm expecting to have a young man with autism join my small, but pretty raucous, class soon so I might be seeking some advice...

Hi Honeysuckle

Sorry you are having a bad time of it right now! Pigeon poo is a devil to get off! Isn't it supposed to be lucky though? Or is that just birds' poo generally?

Hope you get it all sorted!

Thanks, Annie. Sooner pigeon poo than eagle poo, I suppose. See, I'm looking on the bright side already! And, er, no, that wasn't meant as a pun...
