Hidden treasures

Just filed a paper and discovered the half-full tin of Heroes chocolates I'd hidden in the drawer. Admittedly lots of them are the creme egg sort that we don't like but, still, I consider it a win.

Have also been in touch with the sexual health nurse and have arranged to collect some condoms on Wednesday. So my day's going well so far; how's yours going?

Normally autocorrect on my phone is keen to leap in and suggest the word I might be typing. But I got as far as 'sexua' and it still didn't identify it or offer a suggestion. Even when I typed it in and finished the sentence I noticed my phone had changed it to serial. It obviously thinks I shouldn't write such shocking words!

I looked out of the window when I got up this morning and the roofer's van wasn't there so I was safe to wander into the bathroom. Imagine my surprise then when, as I was passing the window, what looked like a little orange goblin head suddenly appeared at the top of the scaffolding. 

I haven't treated you to one of my amazing pieces of artwork for a while so here's my take on it.

Admittedly he looks more like a zombie in my drawing but you get the idea. In real life he looks perfectly normal I assure you. It's just my eyes - and my drawing talent - that makes him look otherwise.

If someone were to just drop in here, they might be impressed by your need for condoms. 😇

I love the 'artist's impression'. They used to do that on the news when they didn't have any footage.

I'm still wondering what you're going to do with all those condoms
