It's my Party...


Dear hearts,

Such a week has Miss Mich had. Suffice to say there were many pens to sell, many chickens to rally and Miss Mich at her lowest ebb.

The only sport was Denghi infected tennis in Lake St, sailing was cancelled due to strong wind and Miss Mich's lunch date on Friday dropped out at the last minute...

As you can imagine, Miss Mich was not impressed. Luckily, Miss Mich's best friend and therapist, Sha ron Morree came to the ever dependable rescue and a somewhat soothing lunch of soup and wine was had. To be honest dear hearts, it wasn't soothing at all. Sha ron pointing out to Miss Mich, that although she may not show it overtly, Miss Mich does have tantrums...

I am not proud to admit this and nor do I fully believe that I completely disgrace myself (I save that for for the futile yet tenacious pursuit of unsuitable sporting partners...but more of that later).

As Miss Mich railed on, quietly yet constantly, about manners, ettiquette and the seemingly laisses-faires attitude of certain aquaintances in Miss Mich's sporting world, Shar ron began to laugh...(!) She seemed to think Miss Mich was having a tanti right then and there. In my defence, dear hearts, there was no rolling around on the floor (I save that for sport), no tears, and no stamping of Prada clad feet (I value my treasures). But there may have been some eye rolling and there was definitely some vitriol, along with a healthy dose of sarcasm.

As the chopsticks snapped and the chilli made eyes water, Miss Mich continued on. One glass was not enough, but had to do as the chickens were expecting their Friday afternoon homily on all things stationery. Note to self: who's bright idea was it to have meetings at 4pm on Friday??

Miss Mich decided to use the tanti for good and not evil. She put the voodoo doll away and instead gave a stirring and firm presentation to the chickens, rallying them to go forth and sell those pens, share the love amongst all and be polite along the way.

Miss Mich took herself home Friday evening and enjoyed the company of SBS documentaries and the very sympathetic ear of a cheeky little cleanskin from the Eastern side of a hill somewhere in South Australia. Both SBS and said Pinot Grigio did not argue once, but rather agreed that manners are all..

Enjoy Sunday afternoon.

Love Miss Mich

  1. Oh, God, Mich, you have my sympathies. Yours truly has also lamented the seeming utter absence of both manners and scheduling ability of even the otherwise most awesome and top-notch of friends nowadays.

  2. If you are going to have a tantie, have a proper one, like this:
