Eeeesh…..

After canceling Friday and running off to the lake all wknd, I had to continue the charade about being ill and not in fact disgracefully hungover - it really has become a tangled web of lies.

The story of my supposed Thursday possible food poisoning leading to early doors escape meant that people were concerned for my well being and wanted to call me to verify that I was ok later on - the slightest cold or flu symptom here could be Malaria you see - but of course, they couldn’t get through as my provider has no coverage at the lake - so when my boss asked, I explained I left the phone on charge but didn’t realise I had not turned on the charger - and as the phone didn’t ring I just assumed no one was trying to get through.

But the natural thing to do when someone who may have malaria doesn’t pick up their phone, is to go to their house and be sure-sure they are ok - I thought ahead to this and explained that as Beth doesn’t work the wknd, I stayed at a friends so I was not alone during my weakened suffering.

Now people have been phoning this morning to check I’m fine.

I can spin the tale of woe pretty good on the phone - especially due to my usual Monday voice of post lake hungover suffering.

Face to face the sun burn is harder to explain however.
