Some days are better than others*
Some days are dry, some days are leaky
Some days come clean, other days are sneaky
Some days take less, but most days take more
Some slip through your fingers and onto the floor
Some nights are a bit like that too. Friday night was a case in point. My Better Half had forgotten he’s supposed to be the BETTER half and slipped through my fingers and fell on the floor, after having cleaned the bathroom and made an omelette at 2.30am! (Don’t ask, I did, the answers didn’t make any sense!)
Some days you hear a voice
Taking you to another place
Some days are better than others
The outcome of all this I hear you ask… a little ‘nest’ courtesy of harrietdg on the stone kitchen floor for part of the night. It took me about half an hour to manoeuvre blankets and cushions under and over the prone one, short bursts of dragging and repositioning with The Dog’s help and hindrance. However, we all (The Dog too!) eventually made it into the bedroom and a proper bed early that morning when Better Half heard my voice suggesting we go to a better place with a duvet, pillows, etc. situated about a metre off a carpeted floor!
Some days you wake up with her complaining
Some sunny days you wish it was raining
Some days are sulky, some days have a grin
And some days have bouncers and won’t let you in
The story ends well though, even if Better Half has very hazy memories of the night, the day had a grin: we were house visiting, with The Boy and The Dog, and we may have found the perfect place…
Some days you hear a voice
Taking you to another place
Some days are better than others
Yes, some days are better than others!
