<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://randommel.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/photo.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-807" title="mel in hospital pants" src="http://randommel.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/photo.jpg" alt="mel in hospital pants" width="500" height="750" /></a></p>
<p>hopefully videos shall resume next week. in the meanwhile, i&#8217;d love to take this opportunity to thank you all for your friendship and support. i don&#8217;t know where i&#8217;d be without you all.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">top of the morning to you, well afternoon to be precise. now you may have noticed that there&#8217;s no video attached to this post. you see, i have tonsillitis. now whilst this shouldn&#8217;t affect my video it does mean that i happen to look rather poo. please see exhibit 1.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://randommel.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/crocheted-poo.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-794" title="crocheted-poo" src="http://randommel.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/crocheted-poo.jpg" alt="crocheted-poo" width="500" height="320" /></a>exhibit 1</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">i hope that you really appreciated that image, trust me i saw some sights when i googled that. <a title="rate my poo" href="http://ratemypoo.com">ratemypoo.com</a> is all that i&#8217;m saying!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">anyway, i&#8217;ve decided that for your own eyesight and happiness, it&#8217;s best to give the video a miss this week. fear not though peeps, i will be back with a vengeance next week where i will be my usual ray of sunshine. see exhibit 2.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://randommel.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/sunshine.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-792 aligncenter" title="sunshine" src="http://randommel.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/sunshine.jpg" alt="sunshine" width="500" height="335" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">exhibit 2</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">look forward to seeing you then, but in the meanwhile if you have any tips to feel better that would be awesome. as would funny jokes. especially if i can claim them as being my own around my friends to pretend to be funny. thanks.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">much love to you all.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">grumpy mel xox</p>
