Has anyone seen my marbles?

11th August 2008

Can someone tell me if I am going through a mid life crisis, or have I just lost my marbles! My brother phoned me on Sunday:

Pete: George (brother-in-law) wants to know whether we are still doing it.
Me: Doing what?
Pete: The swimming / running race on the Heath.
Me: eh?
Pete: You know, you said that you would make up a 4 man team in a race that swims round every pond in the heath and runs between them.
Me: Why on earth would I promise to do that, I’m no good at swimming!
Pete: Drink?
Me: Good point.

So that’s all I know, the result of much drink and bravado at a summer wedding, means that I am doing a race I know absolutely nothing about the morning after another family wedding reception in 4 weeks time.

I’m off to buy some buoyancy aids and find my marbles!
