HAPPY NEW WEEK!
I hope everyone has a peaceful, safe, content week!
Be sure to check back to the end of last week's thread, to see Lindy's grandchildren photos and the last posts!
Tox box in place, sausage rolls ready. I’m daring to make sultana scones. (OH won’t like them ’cos not expensive bakery scones) and then all is ready for Dau & Trio heir last visit here was in January. I’ll be back much later with comments on your posts.
How do the men who drive the snowplough get to work in the morning? (Steven Wright)
When you go into court, you are putting your fate into the hands of people who weren’t smart enough to get out of jury duty.
We don't care. We don't have to. We're the phone company. (Lily Tomlin)
Yes HEATHER today was The Visit. It was shorter than expected as Dau had to return to babysit for a friend whose other child had a dentist appt. Anyway after 3 hours, OH was getting frazzled (missing his after lunch nap) and 2 children were upset playing dominoes “I never win.” Why is it that luck always falls on one child? It is not that they have learned strategies yet. Earlier in better moods, the Trio sang “I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts”. First in normal voices, then deep, then high & squeaky and finally while holding their noses. Hilarious, especially as the twins could hardly sing for giggling.
LINDA by now is wandering the sands of Wales. Reading her earlier post, my thoughts were “forget the knickers, remember the shoes” but I see reading further she has that catered for.
PAT – I read your post and I could relate to the way you are feeling.
OG – Yes, I went to church. Numbers seemed a little less perhaps because it was chilly even at 9 am. People are very good, distancing. The collection bags are not passed around; there are tubs (ex-icecream?) at the front of the church and we toddle up after to deposit offering.
ANNETTE – I was thinking of a mask made of impenetrable plastic.
OG - Wasn’t it you who told us the week was “Thisday, Thatday, Otherday, Someday, Yesterday, Today and Nextday”? So which one did you miss? LOLOL
I had a nanny nap, washed my hair and now I am ready for “chish & fips” for tea. Our first takeaway since, gosh, January.
Morning all: Spent an hour by the ocean yesterday late afternoon watching the surfers. It was like a week away! Came home in time to miss the news and cook dinner. Has anyone watched the new Maigret series with Mr. Bean (forgot his name)? I'm finding it a bit ponderous....
Lindybird: Hope by now the boiler has figured out who's in charge and that the grumbles are just part and parcel of the current upheavals.
Heather: Sounds like a lovely day for you all, with family bustling about to keep you and the garden sorted.
AQ: Re masks, I like your thinking! Why are men so grumpy when their schedules are thrown off by even one day - and by adorable grandkids yet! Look forward to seeing the Trio on Australia's Got Talent. :-)
Rosy: I forgot to say that I hope you guys can plan to get together without too much trouble.
OG: Seattle friend and I chat a lot - she lost her 'words' when she had the stroke, but is much improved and has learned techniques to come up with them. Her intellectual acuity and sense of humor were unscathed, thank heaven.
Where is WendyB: Wasn't her daughter coming to visit?
Have some To-Do Things to follow up on; take care everyone.
