On the importance of pampering
Wow, what an incredibly philosophical title of a blog entry. I know many great books have the title On something and something although I can't remember one at the moment because the heat has incapasitated (looked that word up online) my brain momentarily. I tried looking one up on Amazon but "The Dangerous Book for Boys" by Conn and Hal Iggulden (freaky freaky names man) was what came up over and over again. Hence I give up my search for examples of intelligent books that start with On the... Your'e just going to have to take my word for it.
Anyway, I am very much looking forward to the return of the man who is the inhabitant of this Suntandrews flat. He was just absolutely fab on my return to Lets-get-out-of-here-ville, a masterchef who won't let you do the dishes and feeds you alcohol as you play couch potato in the living room with a remote control in hand and refuses to accept any dosh towards groceries, let alone help cleaning the house.
I must say that I was very much in need for pampering (not much of that on my rock in the North Atlantic Ocean). I have mostly been pampering others for the past month whether it be teenage family members, an elderly mum or a cat named Shoemoon. I have gotten used to this pampering and was therefore absolutely devastated when the masterchef left for Londonium to chill with a Norwegian oil sheikh.
I will however try not to get too used to this regal treatment since there's little hope of such measures on my return to "real life".
The moral of this story is that being pampered occasionally is necessary to one's wellbeing or in the words of philosophus maximus the Austrian modern times Freud: "I'll be back"!
