This post's LeeAnnesque.
Some years ago, to highlight poor spelling skills in the Australian workplace, a report was compiled, listing reasons given by employees for taking sick leave.
Classic examples included "removal of aviaries", "early stages of Parking Disease", "undescended tentacles", and "migrant headaches."
The report also listed 25 different spellings of diarrhoea.
I spent an hour weeding today. Nothing like a bit of scrambling around in the earth to lift the spirits. The pills are kicking in, and I smiled several times today. I'm looking forward to reading two great new novels on the plane, by Irvine Welsh and another Scots guy. What a fortunate creature I am!

I've been an executive manager for a pharma company for my entire career. You should see what my employees come up with. Undiscovered diseases, nooo, they can't have a simple case of gout.

weeding always cheers me up.
hotboy made me chuckle out loud too.
blogging's terrible for spelling. i do it always in such a rush.. can be very embarrassing when i finally read through (after i've posted of course).
so who's the other scots guy? i'm rather partial to scots authors generally :)

Yes, you did do a post that would resemble something that I would do. Thank you Rob, you are always so sweet to me.
I think anytime I do yardwork, I feel better afterwards. Most likely because I am not doing it anymore.
Hope you have a great trip!
