It's not good.

Having consumed what I believed to be every drop of alcohol in the house, I was incorrect. It was something of a downer to discover my poor efforts failed with the discovery of half a bottle of San Miguel and a few shots of brandy remaining in the bottle.


Now I feel approximating lousy.


All of the following tale of woe unfolded before I touched a drop.

Last night. Because she parks so inconveniently, rather than risk causing offence (people can be funny) I offered to move (STBEMH) car for her. I got in and promptly drove straight forward into a post pushing in the bumper and breaking the wheel arch - a result of pushing in the bumper I suspect. The 'girls' were on their way out for a big, long-planned night out. They were using STEBEMH's car and I parked the damaged vehicle with damage facing away. Nothing could be done last night and I decided that my evening was already ruined, there was no sense in ruining more people's evenings with knowledge of the unfortunate events.


I have yet to advise of the damage - that little joy faces me.


In addition I sent some texts last night. I had discussed with a friend the unfortunate state of my love life. She propositioned that STBEMH was perhaps feeling unloved. I had come to a similar consideration myself a few weeks previously.


STBEMH had been proclaiming with some regularity how she was not married. Last night I sent three texts.


The first, in text speak, to ask her if she arrived safely and hoping she had a great time.


The second and third a long message (in text terms, hence two) advising my regrets at the situation and my past behaviour and the mention of the consideration of marriage.


Late last night I texted her accompanying friend to ask if she STBEMH had received the texts.


Apparently the lack of response was the answer.


It reads more like a cross between FML and Texts from Last Night.


Prepare yourself, dear reader, make yourself comfortable... Welcome to the disappointment.

We can't both be right, it's probably me.
