Can I go home yet?

jadesfireDear Oxford City Council,
It was already a bad morning. I'm working on a Bank Holiday and it's tipping it down with rain. Just to add to this, I was having a seriously nasty allergic reaction to my knee-length socks, so that I pretty much wanted to rip all the skin off my shins if it would just make the itching stop. The itching was making me distracted and nauseous.
I therefore could have done without the slippery-as-ice paving slabs on the corner by the library. I don't care if they've got bumps on them. They felt like they'd been greased, and I only managed not to fall over by grabbing the signpost next to me and badly jarring my shoulder.
You only replaced them recently. I'm lucky that I'm (just about) fit enough to look after myself. If anyone hurts themselves there (which I hope they don't, but still) I hope they sue you for every penny.
No love,
Me.
In other news, now that the itching has subsided and I only have the nausea, I'm feeling better. Cross, but better. I'll take 'slightly sick' over 'agonising pain' any day. And it's not long to the holiday - woo hoo! Ooh, which reminds me, people who are visiting this fair if soggy isle next week, I'd love to see you but will need to book holiday in advance. No problem if we can't make dates match, but I don't want it to be for lack of trying.
If anyone needs me, I'm writing or on gmail or sitting here, crying over a pile of big red books...
