I better be quiet now.








I have found myself in a situation, which, if someone had told me was happening to them I would have given them some very precise advice which I myself am unable to follow. For someone who is pretty much always loaded with spectacularly graphic advice this has come as a terribly depressing surprise.

Anyway, as a result of all that my swearing has gone over the top today, way into the nineties. That's almost off the chart, but not quite. Later, E bought me a ton of things I love to eat, and soon I had stopped swearing and begun to enjoy (biscuits) life again.

Tomorrow is Thursday though. I was born on a Thursday, so technically it's my birthday tomorrow, which should mean more biscuits and maybe poulet roti for lunch.

The hardest advice to follow is your own - especially the graphic f#$&ing stuff.

Hope you enjoy your birthday biscuits.

You just need to tap back into your inner Buddha! Do some Yoga and light some incense! :)

Why is it we are incapable of giving the same advice to ourselves as we are to others?

Phoenix said...

Ok, hear me out here: sometimes I pretend to be my own parent (I didn't really have any growing up) and split myself into two: child me and parent me.

Child me needs help and advice and wtf is going on. Parent me sits down, calmly explains what might be happening, and offers up some solutions.

It's the best way to ensure that you give yourself the same advice you give others. You are your own best investment, bub.

Biscuits always cheer me up. No exception. Oh, apart from fig rolls.

ps: sorry my photos are making you home-sick. Just remember that February isn't the most life affirming time to be in Edinburgh!

Maggie - Agreed :)

Caroline - Ha, that was excellent. My score was pretty high.

Sara - Thanks for that. I seemed to have managed it.

Jmarls80 - Thank you. They were so good!

PenPen - I wondered what had happened to you ... and thanks from me and my inner buddha ...

Alpha Buttonpusher - thank you:) I'll never change it again though, it was a total nightmare to get it sorted how I wanted.

Cath - thanks :)

G.Fox - I guess its just easier to dish it out perhaps ...

Phoenix - Thank you for that. Good advice :)

Red Boots - Yep, fig rolls really do suck.

As my great-aunt Ethel used to say:

Never underestimate the power of the biscuit.

Nice post.
