Crutch-lady

Yep, I'm on crutches. An inflammated ligament. Joy.

Children are very honest in their observations of people who look or behave different. I knew that, so when a little boy on the bus said to his mum, in a very audible voice, "Mum, look at the lady with the funny sticks!" it wasn't all that surprising (although I admit I was a bit hurt by the "lady"). But "sticks"? Oh no. Where are the future generations headed, language- and general knowledgewise? No, it's not stick-lady. It's crutch-lady, if you please!

Sorry about the lack of updating. You haven't missed all that much, though. Most exciting thing this week was the fact that I woke up one morning to a very loud buzzing, a buzzing that was caused by a huge fucking wasp. In my room! Over my bed! Oh the horror! I jumped out of bed, ran out of my room across the kitchen - very much unclothed, if you wanted the visual - to find something to kill it with.
To cut a long story short, I smashed the little bitch against the window before he could even think of stinging me.

My mum and I decided to try out the wet-vest workout down at our local public bath. We were there first and being somewhat experienced when it comes to wet-vest (that is to say, I tried it once) I was all pepped, psyching my mum a bit about how tough it was going to be. Then, the others started to arrive. And they were old. And I mean really old. "Are they really able to do this?" I wondered. Apparently they were of the opinion that they were indeed so.

Then, the trainer came in. "Okay, you can all get in now!"
"Funny", I thought. "Are we going to put the vests on in the water? Isn't that a bit complicated?"
But there were no vests. "Alright, let's start! We start marching on the spot, up and down, up and down..."
Water gymnastics. The pensioners, my mum, and I. I caught her eye once and then tried very hard not to do so again, because the expression on her face almost made me burst out laughing.
When we asked afterwards it turned out that they didn't do wet-vest at the moment, hadn't done for several months, and that they'd changed the time slot to water gymnastics. Great. Couldn't have told us that before?

Finally, Crash is the best film I've seen in a very, very long time, and y'all need to see it, like, NOW.
