1999: Up bright and early at six. I helped myself to two bags of crisps which mum happily opened from the depths of her bed and in a drowsy state. It’s great being up at this time because mum really doesn’t know what she’s doing – I swear she’ll not remember when she wakes up (I hope not anyway). Mum got up at 7.30 to a neat and tidy lounge and a potty full to the brim. I jumped in her bath, then dressed and off to Edons. Mum was really impressed when she picked me up as I haven’t had a nappy on today and I was still in the same clothes I left home in this morning. I had quite a hyper day and when we got home I went straight to the settee and watched Pat. I asked for my milk which I drank while mum cooked tea but I never did find out what was for tea as mum apparently lifted me to bed at 5.45!
2019: Apparently today is ‘Get out of the Dog House Day’. I know this as Argos have this blazoned everywhere and a single blow up mattresses on special offer. Asda on the other hand have free ice bucket with packs of Desperados and Sol Beer which are just £4. Some great bargains. But fortunately Zof and I can do our own thing whilst still being together or simply sit in our flat alone, eating snacks and minding our own business – both of which are sic. I’m just in from work, Zofs cooking tea and Mums booked the B&B for Snowdon, so all is good. Well, so long as the Lion in Gwytherin confirms the booking
Adenum: England won the cricket World Cup for the first time ever! 241 runs each. 15 runs each super over. What were the odds?
