A Way With Words !

Dermot......You'll like this.

A friends yacht was in trouble on her moorings, a real heavy blow was on,
he watched in trepidation from the shore.

He went to the American Sailor on Duty nearby and requested help.
The chap phoned his ship for permission to assist Jack.

The reply :-

'The Captain feels that because of the velocity of the elements it would be imprudent to put to sea'

In other words......'It's blowing too hard'

Back to my own wee Yachty bits....another coffee break over.

Oh Marilyn please dont shoot Stephen

" Lay that pistol down babe lay that pistol down pistol pecking muma lay that pistol down"

I went out this morning to post the two cards I forgot to post yesterday. so they will be on there way to the sorting office by now.

Has anyone had a problem like me on buying smellies by this I mean the little perfume blocks that stand up in the bathrooms or other rooms in the house or even the sprays.that give you a smell of violets or lilys of the valley etc. because I am having a problem I alwasy brought my from Waitrose they have let there stocks go down. when I enquired when will the new stock be in I was told not sure they are cutting them down.
I tried the Co-op this morning and they are the same out of stock. the next little cheap shop I tried only had two in.which I brought.

we were givng little grey plastic bins with handles and some bags that desolve these were to put our food stuff in for recycle we put the food in the bag and the bag into a special bin. we were given a list of shops we could buy these bags in when we ran out as your not allowed to use ordinary plastic bags. so I went to buy some this morning and found you got a roll of 50 but they cost £3,.99 they are only small more like the little paper bags you get when buying fruit.
I think it is all wrong they tell you you have to put your food in this bin and expect you to pay for these bags.

I will step down off my soap box now.

Hi Shelly
Thanks for the photos , you all look lovely, especially little legs on his special day.

Well I did the washing, stripped some more paper, did a little knitting and then cut the front grass. Hubby asked why I hadn't done the back and I said 'cos you left the dead tree all over it. He still hasn't cut it up at all and he's been home 2 hours, so I won't be cutting the grass tomorrow either !!!

I am going to sit in the garden in a bit and read a book, to try and ignore it but I find that hard when there are things to do.

Linda :-) <3

Thanks for the photos of little legs they were great. I know now when you said you had a large cake. you could have fed the whole of Wembley stadium with that Shelley
I like the dress, I bet you all had a good time.

I have done nothing this afternoon my ears started playing up again and I thought I had a brass band following me around the flat.

Hello All.

Just in from work.

Thank you Marilyn for the email. Blimey I will be reading for the next 6 months.

Thank you Shelly for the beautiful piccies. You must be very proud, and worked very hard. Your family looks lovely.

Thanks Stephen for offering to try and help, I will send you a pm later on tonight.

Hope everyone else is well.

Pauline, I DO have a dog. A jack russell called Charlie.

See you later.

Thanks for the photos Shelly, they're great. You all looked very smart, your top was lovely........ so was Rhoda's dress.

Olly looked like he was enjoying it and the vicar was enjoying Olly.......... LOL.

That cake was huge, you need to start cutting it up and sending it to us.

I've sent the photos on to all the addresses I've got.

Edit: Sorry Maddie, can't remember you talking about a dog............. just a fox... :-D

Hello everyone.
Shelly, thanks very much for the photo's. Olly is a proper boy, and looked really smart.
I had a real chuckle at the vicar laughing at Olly's antics. What was he doing to cause so much hilarity.
B Hell, how the heck did that cake fit in the oven. It must have been cooked
in different sections. Who made it for you love, it looks absolutely brilliant.
We are still waiting by our cyber hatches for our bit.

I have been a busy bee today. Washed all the net curtains, and cleaned the windows inside the house. Cor talk about getting a sweat on. The sun was soooo warm coming through the windows.
Tomorrow we have got to wait in all day, for the washing machine man to arrive.
The lock on the door refuses to lock, and I have to give it a quick kick to get the programme to start.
We pay the insurance for it, so they can darned well come out and fix it for me. While they are here, I want them to look at the door seal as well, (the rubber round the door) as it's starting to go black, despite my wiping it round after every use,and getting rid of any excess water.

Evening All !

Dame Shelly........Thanks for photos.......looks like a grand time was had by all.
WHERE'S OUR BIT OF CAKE ?

Sally....the swinginging sixties......when was that...... ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

My wife tells me it was when I had a Six Pack and not a Six Month Preganancy under my shirt .ROFL :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

I knew a young lass in the 60s who was Britains most Tattoed lady. She was shunned in the local streets. Pity they didn't know her past....she had been the World Highland Dance Champion.....twice. Family problems pushed her over the edge and into a life of drink. Coreen will always be to me as she was before things changed for her.

Gonna have an early supper, I' m feeling peckish. :-D :-D :-D

Some small tattoos look quite smart!

I've got no inclination to have one done!

The chicken curry was nice but alas there's no Midsomer Murders tonight and I'm not into Britain's Got Talent.
