Cordially Invited.

Hallo it's me, the miserable sod from yesterdays post.

You are kind you know. If I had read a post like yesterdays I would have said something along the lines of: "Get a grip and stop feeling sorry for yourself. You don't know how lucky you are. There are people starving in the world. You have got a nice life. It's your choice. Get on and enjoy it. Don't come on here feeling all hard done by."

Something along those lines. Yeah that's what I'd have said. Because I can't be doing with miserable types. That's why I didn't like myself yesterday. You didn't have a go at me, which you would have been entitled to do. I mean if I make you unhappy have a go at me for it. I'm fairly certain you don't come here to be faced with doom and gloom. Anyway that's why I think you are kind, and an understanding lot.

It is because of your understanding that you probably know I would not react to an unhappy post in the way I just said I would. I would try to be understanding. Impart a few caring words.

We cannot be full of joy all the time. It is true that people are starving in certain parts of the world, and of course this is very sad. There isn't much I can do about that personally, apart from tossing some change into the collecting tin when I can. What I'm trying to say is that things are all relative. My unhappiness might be a small in the scale of things, but it is still unhappiness. Flipping heck I do ramble on a bit don't I?

I like myself again today. It was a short lived bout of self pity. It doesn't happen often, and when it does I certainly don't feel the need to impose it on others. It was just that I got fed up with being nice. It happens sometimes.

But anyway I am back to my nice self today, and with that in mind I cordially invite you all round to my place for a tea and biscuits party tomorrow at eleven. Please bring your own cup, some biscuits, and a tea bag. Oh and you should bring a chair, I only have one chair and Sadie the German Shepherd has claimed that. While I think of it would you bring a log or a lump of coal for the fire. Thanks. Maybe a pack of firelighters too. It is going to be cold tomorrow. Which reminds me the water might be frozen. Perhaps you ought to bring some bottled water.

Oh how stupid of me. I just realised. I can't do tomorrow. I am going walking with Samantha at eleven. I don't want to miss that. That would make me very unhappy.

So sorry but I shall have to cancel the tea party. We'll make it another time. I'll get back to you on that.
