Good afternoon, Michael12 and all!

On my way here to work this morning, I stopped dead to die laughing! I'll call these 2 crows A and B.

A was standing in the road, quite casually minding his own business, when B came flying along and tried to land a few inches from A, but unfortunately, he mistimed his flight and instead of landing gracefully on the road, he literally crashed into A from behind, at speed, so A didn't see him coming! Didn't mean to hit him!

A went absolutely ballistic! There were feet, wings and feathers flying and loads of screaming and squawking as he chased him off into the sky!

I had another seriously bad sleepless night last night with meno and agonising leg cramps, utterly exhausted and tearful again today, so as a proud member of the Melani Sanders We Do Not Care Club, I Do Not Care that about 2 am, almost screaming with cramps, I crashed out of bed and made up a cocktail of cold water, tangerine slices, strawberry juice, Jack & Coke and Toffee Cream Liqueur and used it to wash down 2 Paracetamol, while hugging a hot water bottle! No, I didn't end up blotto; it takes a hell of a lot more than a drop of booze to get me even tiddly!

I love energy drinks - Monster Green and White and Vimto- so when I went into the newsagents yesterday after work, I found a Hungarian one called Hell. A 250ml can was only 79p, Strong Apple. Nothing Hell-ish about them at all; they're lovely!

See you all later!
