I have been away for a few days and not to see his hang dog face has been lovely. So lovely that I am off again on Tuesday! He can be jolly and jokey and I know its not his fault but lately he seems tired and fed up and a recent cold has left him 'bunged up'. He has wrenched a shoulder, ran a piece of work equipment over his foot, got stung by a wasp and has today managed to break a glass in his hand just by picking it up.
Its not that I'm unsympathetic but I have had to ban health updates (whinging) especially those on how his fungal big toe is fairing. Currently he is quietly watching TV with strict instructions from me to older son to stop standing in front of him to goad him into a reaction.

lol rabbitgirl, i too get health updates! he's forever telling me he has the flu! its always gone the next day, blimey i wish my flu would only last a day, lol. he couldnt understand why, when he told me that he may have to go away on business for 1 or 2 weeks, i had such a big grin on my face! in fact i even giggled, ooh the excitement, lol.
I think calling wingers 'Victor Meldrew' does the character a grave mis-service.
The thread running through 'One Foot' was that Victor was surrounded by incompetence and bulls**t and simply refused to accept it. In fact he hammered both where ever, and when ever he found them, which was more or less everywhere. He did't moan, he railed and fought and stood his ground, to wonderful comic effect, but he didn;t just whinge - that's moaning for the sake of it. All Victor's ire - commencing with being replaced by a machine at work - was routed in having not enough to do to keep his mind active, and finding that the world is run by people who should be in charge by the virtues of character and intelligence, and in fact have neither.
I know exactly how he feels!
