It was really hot last night and I tossed and turned - the last time I looked at the clock it was only about 3.5 hours till I needed to get up!
Dragged myself through the workday and flopped in my chair when I got home, fighting the heavy eyelids.
While mashing the potatoes for tea, I decided to relay a funny story I had read in the paper - it was how parents embarrassed their kids (often unintentionally). For some reason I just couldn’t get the story out, I just laughed and laughed with tears streaming down my face. I stepped away from the food and just exploded with laughter again
Now I feel so good, like it released some happy juice in me.
They say laughter is the best medicine, and I have to agree.
After all that hubby just grinned and carried on dishing up the broccoli.

When something is really, really funny, as in tears in your eyes funny, unfortunately I have a bad habit of regressing from laughter to snorting like a pig. And then trying to stop makes it worse.
There really is a good reason for the old saying 'laughter is the best medicine' I can just imagine your circumstances Ali

Here's my confession: There's a small group of us who play Uno every Wednesday afternoon. 3 of us have a very good grasp of the English language and we play off against one another in verbal repartee, some of which can get 'quite close to the bone', so to speak. We all roar with laughter at each other's comments and excuse the risqué comments as necessary: a good laugh is good for you. I love Wednesday afternoons.

So true Jenna. I didn't realise how bad I sounded until a time when I was videoed. We were in Romania and the first time for me, to both visit and meet the fam. On the very first night as the night wore on and the alcohol took effect, something was really, really funny and I can't remember what it was. Unbeknownst to me George had the video out - OMG when I heard myself I sounded like a Kune pig wallowing in mud and food scraps and being happy with his lot
