I dozed off at about four o'clock waiting to take some painkillers...
Paul and I went to visit a friend in Bolton who lived in her own house initially, but after one of those odd shifts dreams afford was occupying my old flat in East Grinsead (which was no longer above a shop, but above a nursery school, three times the previous size, redecorated and located just a couple of hundred yards from her actual home).
There was much vodka fuelled daftness and so on, but at this stage the dream was still pretty sane - even the giant blue tit (size of a sea gull) seemed just a little off when it wandered out from behind the telly. We had a lovely time and set off home to (dunno where) but were interrupted at some stage.
There things got a bit sit-com. Somehow we took a little boy wearing red wellies with blue and white spots on the toes. Not sure where he came from, but we were involved in a plot to sell the child to a couple but were holed up with a couple I swear could have walked out of Little Britain in the meantime. He was mega-camp hetero and she was m-f transexual with a fondness for knitwear and doilies.
There was a trestle table set up outside their house with a computer through which we were negotiating some sort of a deal with another anonymous couple. Turns out we got on famously with the pair in the little two up two down (which I'm convinced was in Cheshire somewhere). We kept swapping stuff - Paul came away with a pair of slippers and a telescope, while I got a huge embroidery frame that wasn't being used. The giant blue tit showed up again with a standard sized vole in it's beak. This couple though had a cat which chased it around for a while (comedy feathers flying and all). Don't remember what happened to the blue tit, but the vole got away.
Nick Griffin and his wife turned up at some point driving a brand new BMW complete with buggy, thomas the tank engine and a kids umbrella, he was carrying an overnight bag full of cash. They were sent away again in a huff, all other parties having decided that the child was best left with the couple. On the way out of the kitchen I found a twenty pence piece on the floor and handed it to the mum, pointing ut that from now on she'd have to get used to the idea that money on the floor belongs to the kids. We packed up the car which took forever as the embroidery frame, telescope and so on all needed to be packed up and for some odd reason there was a very confusing mess of slippers and stripey socks and headed toward home.
On the way we stopped to meet my Dad who was excited to tell me he'd just moved into a high-rise in Watford. His mate was out of the country and so he was staying there for a couple of years, it was a real batchelor pad, think Quagmire in Family Guy.
There was more, we were headed to Cheltenham to see friends I think but that's all a bit hazy as Madam came in and told me Daddy had said I should spend some time awake now. It was also time for the next dose of painkillers. I'd probably be slightly less disturbed by the weird dreams if I'd actually taken the previous lot!
