Fishing rod...............wanted to say Rod Stewart

Yes, forgot. As well, But probably huge after thanksgiving meal!

Curtain call (applause in a theatre)

Stuffed! Turkey, gravy, stuffing, mashed potato, mixed veggies, TWO pieces of Apple pie and ice cream. Apart from stuffing, (onions, no no) Jilly had the same. Michael just departed clutching half of all remains and I'm joining Jill in sleeping it off. Happy thanksgiving, Anne. 🐶😴

Old lace (from "lavender and old lace movie)

Morning all, and a chilly drab morning it is. Never mind turkey in the oven, stuffing made, potatoes peeled, veggies at the ready. Apple pie waiting to be warmed up and Jilly at the back door hoping Michael will be arriving soon. Nobody's said a word about him coming for lunch, and yet there she sits hopefully with the…

Yes happy birthday Barbies Jake and happy birthday Patsys son tomorrow. Ouch PATSY, your poor foot. I sincerely hope you are out of pain very very quickly. No fun at all. John Lennon was my favourite Beatle as well. Not a great fan of their music to be honest but he had the most interesting character of the four. JACKIE, I…

Carving knife

Stone cold

Forgot again, but probably the same.

Hello everybody. My order came exactly as ordered but no Dorio. No freebies! It must have been his day off. All the delivery men are very nice and I'm beginning to like "Longo's" very much. That's the owners of Grocery Gateway. The brands under their name, frozen, baked, canned etc are excellent. Even better was my very…

Actually I can drive PATSY. Took lessons years ago but could never afford a car for me. However bought them (1 second hand, 1 new) for Michael and Mark when they both had to get to university and jobs. Wouldn't dare drive today. Far too old to be safe on the road. Plus I'd need a refresher course. Anne.

Katie is one very pretty girl PATSY. Just a quick good morning, busy day ahead. Hope everyone's day is full of sunshine. Anne.

Ha! you've confirmed my thinking concerning flu jabs JACKIE. Most people I meet outside are on the other side of the road and we yell at each other. Not surprised your sideboard is heavy, mine is very heavy and even more so full of dinner service, matching tea set, wine glasses, decanters and Christmas booze. Not to…

Sort of a lazy day here. Mainly talking on the phone. Oh and I ordered a fleecy zip up hoodie for chilly dog walking days from Roots, and it might be useful for when I move into JACKIES greenhouse if it's a bit draughty in there! I think the powers-that-be are getting paranoid about the corvid. The cases are rapidly…

Red balloons.......hey how did Sandy and Lin sneak in........lol.

Baby rocking

Smashing greenhouse JACKIE. Can I move in, me and Jilly and what do you charge in rent? Good advice on tea making for SANDY and I would add, do invest in a teapot love. Tastes so much better from a teapot AND elegant. BOB. So your ex married the next door neighbour? Mine married the stage hand he was handling back stage…

Thanks for a good laugh this afternoon SANDY. I'm referring to the friend who, when asked how she was, responded "how the hell do you think I am at 92". I wonder what you did to her 5 years ago? Nothing wrong with her memory apparently. There's a rumour going around here that Harry, his missus and the boat may be selling…

Just in time for winter JACKIE! My African Violet is finally on the way out. I've had her for 30 years and inherited her so don't know how old she actually was. She grew to gigantic cabbage like proportions at her best. Time to look for a new "baby". The spot and huge pot look so sad without her. I've decided to try and…

Ah, I think you have hit the nail on the head PATSY. I could never snuggle, hug or play with my ex. He would get quite rigid if one tried. Tried tickling him when we were very young. You would have thought I'd attacked him with a hammer! Thank goodness I've always had a cat or a dog to cuddle, friends and relatives to…

Final curtain. (On stage)

Definitely a woodpecker. They visit the old Apple tree in my back garden all the time. Jackie our old village English dentist was so brutal he was nicknamed Butcher Brown. Finally I feel like the old pesty Anne. Full of the joys of spring. Yes, I moved the bookcase but honestly it was very light with books and shelves…

I'm beginning to think the secret to a good marriage is people who have very similar temperaments BOB. I loved my ex to pieces but he was so opposite to me, well he couldn't have been more so. Even my relatives nicknamed him Heathcliff (from Wuthering Heights). We did the personality test once at work and he was completely…

LIN, you pay on the way out of the dental office here. I don't know what would happen if you didn't pay. Held hostage until your relatives bail you out? Maybe it's a policy for us who have no insurance? Anne.

We used to say if you dream your teeth fall out - a death. Fortunately, mine just get pulled out when awake! Anne.

Was it Mars PATSY? I think I read somewhere Mars will be at his best after 17 years I think. Anne.

Good morning Sneakers, must tell you about a vivid dream I had last night concerning, me, JACKIE and PATSY. It's fading, but briefly I flew to Oregon, and Jackie arrived at the airport at the same time. Jackie looked exactly like her photos, but Patsy who I don't think I've seen fully before in real time turned out to be a…

I've been ever so good. I Listened to everyone telling me not to climb a ladder and try and fix the bracket and curtain pole. I took all the books out of my smallest bookcase instead, removed the shelves, dragged it over to the side window, cleared cobwebs and polished it and refilled with dusted books. Now I have…

Well my curtain wooden pole and wooden bracket unfixed itself and came crashing to the ground, so just like JACKIE a little bit of plastering and painting required, but not on her scale! Black dog day made me think it was created especially for my Bean. Otherwise it was news to me. And now I'm feeling guilty about Mr.…
