Feeling very glum as I have lost my fountain pen. Also have hideous stomach cramps. Would like to huddle in a pitiful ball but as the pre-school class rep I am hosting a play date for twenty little tykes this afternoon, and their parents - Meena has been baking chocolate chip cookies all week - so I am not allowed to be gloomy or ill. Cannot whip up the enthusiasm for writing the book this morning without my pen, either. I have looked everywhere. Gutted. Well, I'm off to the loo now, and depending how that goes, I'm off to the med centre as well. Just thought I'd share that with you...
