I bumped into 1970's popstar Gilbert O'Sullivan in the bank yesterday and asked him what he was there for? "A loan again,naturally!" he replied
Went to Sainsbury's at Salendine Nook at 9-45am. No queue, straight in and guess what? There was loads of toilet rolls
Still no fecking delivery of sanding discs.........................I can't finish the garden chairs till they arrive. And I'm not sanding the things by hand again. Anyway the sun is shining, sky is blue, birds are singing and I've done all my ironing. Next on the agenda is my daily exercising
tips for today; Wise advice from a Farmer's Wife Whenever you return a borrowed pie pan, make sure it's got a warm pie in it. Invite lots of folks to supper. You can always add more water to the soup. There's no such thing as woman's work on a farm. There's just work. Make home a happy place for the children. Everybody returns to their happy place. Always keep a small light on in the kitchen window at night. If your man gets his truck stuck in the field, don't go in after him. Throw him a rope and pull him out with the tractor. Keep the kerosene lamp away from the the milk cow's leg. It's a whole lot easier to get breakfast from a chicken than a pig. Always pat the chickens when you take their eggs. It's easy to clean an empty house, but hard to live in one. All children spill milk. Learn to smile and wipe it up. Homemade's always better'n store bought. A tongue's like a knife. The sharper it is the deeper it cuts. A good neighbor always knows when to visit and when to leave. A city dog wants to run out the door, but a country dog stays on the porch 'cause he's not fenced-in. Always light birthday candles from the middle outward. Nothin' gets the frustrations out better'n splittn' wood. The longer dress hem, the more trusting the husband. Enjoy doing your children's laundry. Some day they'll be gone. You'll never catch a runnin' chicken but if you throw seed around the back door you'll have a skillet full by supper. Biscuits brown better with a little butter brushed on 'em. Check your shoelaces before runnin' to help somebody. Visit old people who can't get out. Some day you'll be one. The softer you talk, the closer folks'll listen. The colder the outhouse, the warmer the bed.
That's brilliant, as kids in the sixties a million was massive, now six million, epic, thanks for coming back to me, enjoy it, you've earned it. There's money in them wafers.
Couldn’t you cut the paper you have into circles or rectangles and glue them to the pad. Time consuming I know but quicker than the wait surely?
I could but I really cant be arsed. Today, to help fill the void I have been filling cracks and gaps in ceilings/walls (new house drying out). Tomorrow I'll sand and paint them. And hopefully tomorrow the friggin' sanding disks will turn up and I can get on with stuff outside, whilst the weather is decent.
Not hobbling quite so uncomfortably today so have spent a bit of time outside in the warm, fresh air in my back garden. I’m progressively turning a pile of tree clippings and roots that still needs drying out before burning. Made a new friend that crawled out of the damp heap. I don’t kiss on the first date so I have no idea if the frog was a prince or a princess but I did put it in a more appropriate area of the garden. Andy
