So. . . . zapping around on the health-site my friend Marilyn Monroe sent me, I decided to convert my weight from kilos into pounds, so as to experience the peculiar shock of weighing so many stones, yet so few kilos ( must be a first world trauma!! Appropriate boxes are provided, so I entered my height as 1.73 and weight as 48 kilos with the devastating result that I was only one inch tall!!
From that moment on, my life took a violent turn! Charlie, the cat, had been perched on one extreme of the kitchen table, soaking up the warm air from the gas heater, when I instantly became a mere inch long – a bare three centimeters I think, perhaps not even that!!
To begin with, I crashed through the table to the floor, scaring the lives out of everyone – Kata starting a riotous barking, as did Bizkit, and the cat pounced on my head almost decapitating me. Luckily, I was able to escape by hiding under the mouse left dangling from the remains of the table.
Still dazed from the shock of finding myself just one inch tall and weighing 48 kilos, clinging on for dear life to a slippery black snake of a cord, I desperately sought a solution – I must get onto the PC again and revert this disaster . . . somehow . . . ( my computer skills aren’t good at the best of times!). So began the long haul up the cord, millimeter by millimeter, inch by inch!
At the top, further catastrophe – the PC was balancing precariously over the chasm, but the plug still seemed to be firmly in place though. To cut a long story short - the strenuous struggle of manipulating the keys to revert the situation, without smashing the machine to pieces in the process, well, I suppose you can imagine! Let this serve as a warning to everybody out: BEWARE! especially if you are clumsy!
