Wot, no cheese???

*snuffle* I dot a dold in me dnose... *sniff*.... sympathy please!! Of course, I blame it all on evil Sheila... it's true! Having a visit from evil Sheila is like inviting the Grim Reaper over for cuppa.. cos you know if she comes acalling..your time is up.....

She only visits rellies who are on the last legs and normally about 1-2 years before they croak.... never visits whilst they're alive and happy and perhaps up for a visit, oh no... she lurks... in the background.... then.. leaps out and visits, and then the poor ol' devils know their time is up.... scary lady! And why do this weird action, I hear you askin.. either that or me ears are hummin... well, it's not gone tooo badly so far.. she's seen off all competition and is now 5 houses better off for her.. um.. spooky hobby... anyway, it was evil Sheila's 70th bday this weekend and oh joy of joys we all had to attend, and when I say had to, I mean had to... well, would you say no????? Risking a home visit?????

So off we went, all decked out in... growed up clothes!!! and growed up gal clothes at that.... well, not Ol.. cos that would have been a tad weird....

and spent the evening grimacing.... and me drinking copious ammounts.... this all happened in one of them there intsy village halls, which, I have to say, she'd decked out bootifuuly... bit worrying... and after the meal, of all things, they'd hung one of them there pinuata's?? No idea of the spelling, it was basically, a paper mache balloon, filled with sweets, oh how lovely, I heear you sigh.. oh yes, darn fine idea... hang a large heavy shape from a rafter in a confined space, present all kiddies under 12 with a very large and heavy stick, then run roundin circles performing first aid to all those kiddies who missed....

Mother came to the rescue.... mad as a march hair, gawd I love her lol! She removed the stick from one small yet hoogely strong 8 year old, made them all move away and took a running shot at this balloon contraption and sent it into orbit, round the hall where it crashed into the tables and smashed aload of glasses and plates... only me mum.. honestly... after we'd all raised our heads and peeked above the table to view the destructive force that is my mother... we decided that now may be a darn fine time to take our leave, and ran outta the door... a screech of tyres and we were off...!!! Never again...well, least not til next Tuesady anyway... heh heh heh...

And it is a beautiful spring day here today!!! I've got in from work and sat outside on me bench and one of me chooks took up a pew next to me...

"Soooo what we lookin at then?" she clucks inquisitively...
"The Spring, yer dufus..." roll of eyes..
"Ahhh ok... um.. sooooo what we looking at???"
"We're feeling the sun, watching the birds and seeing the buds swell, ok???"
"Right..."
Long pause as we both survey the garden... sun on our faces.. or beaks.. delete as required...
"Ok.. thanks for that "
and off she gets to go not lay an egg..... think another demonstration may be in order....*sigh*
And I'm in the process of building me own raised beds for my herb garden!! outta hazel n stuff.. more stuff than hazel now I think about it.... but it will be fine! Oh yes.. where there is a will, there is normally a screw up..!
