smokingboot57 and I still love my birthday every time! I suddenly wonder what I will want to do for my 60th, assuming I'm still around. Another safari? I have already bored all my friends to death with the last one, so surely it would be a great time to go again! We shall see what new adventures arise...
Today what am I doing? Late sitting at Scotts of Mayfair courtesy of R, gifts which I will talk about later if it doesn't feel braggy, and my gift to myself; a new Mtdna test, so I can check the maternal line. I find myself only marginally interested in actual knowable relatives, more fascinated by early stuff that almost becomes legend! Less a student understanding, more a child pootling about. It intrigues me so much it might be worth making up with Bro for. What a conversation that would be:
Me: Let's be friends.
Bro: OK!
Me: Now give me a swab from your cheek.
Bro: Fuck off. Is that why you wanted to be friends?
Me: Yes.
Bro: Then fuck off again.
Me: Oh come on, be useful for a change.
Bro: Double fuck off.
Me: Fine, I want to be friends because it's cool. Here, have a drink. (Four bottles later, he's out, cue stuffing cotton bud into his gob and rolling it around ) Hahaha! Now fuck off!
Bro: *Almost staggers into waking*...You're...So weird...*collapses again*
That's the decent version. In the other, he presents me with a swab from his nether cheeks. I tell you, nothing ever really works.
But that Y-DNA test would be very interesting.
Mum tells me she has sent me two cards. This means she remembered late, and expects neither to turn up on time.
Beautiful day, gorgeous world, fabulous life! Yes, I know bad stuff is nearby, very close in fact, but that's for another day. Today, here's to me!
