8.0 clock and Andrew and Karen have left for the airport, they are off to Switzerland to see Karen's aunt Sylvia. Andrew has performed a miracle this morning he got the refuse collectors to take our old dustbin as we had a new one delivered this week. Such things as going down to the tip is easy when you have a car but there has been a deliberate move here not to have a car and just to hire when we need one.
Just for a moment I am envious of their visit but then think of all the memories that will float to the surface if I was to go, so best stay. So Lillie and I are arguing over who gets the kitchen for cooking, she bakes, always chocolate cookies, mostly for her scouts group.
Oasis will be coming to Manchester, is it next weekend? Ben and his father will be going to the show. My daughter says there will be a lot of middle-aged men in the Northern Quarter smelling of testosterone and reliving their youth. She can be so cruel ;)
Then watching You tube last night, The Wandering Turnip video of him camping out in the B&M car park in Tod was funny. He camped behind a bush there, he was slightly on show and the security man saw him asked what he was doing, WT said clearing rubbish. The funny thing happened in the night though when a noise woke him up and it turned out to be a hedgehog snuffling around him. But as Karen said it was nice to know that there were hedgehogs around.
Now I am worrying about the hedgehog how did he get down the steps from the canal path and can he get up again?
4th July - happy wishes to those in America, though he got that wretched bill through and his smirking face will be everywhere. America why can't you be like our government and call foolish cruel bills out for what they are.
News yesterday, I kid you not, was about one tear rolling from Rachel Reeves (our chancellor) eye, because she was upset about something personal. It went on all bloody day, our media is so facile as to be a laughing stock by the rest of the world. The Telegraph was the worst with a photo, obviously AI adjusted and touched up in a really horrible way.
I saw your crying Chancellor. Here we cry. Our government cheers.
ReplyDeleteI just watched The Wandering Turnip video of his car that was turned into a mini-camper. Amazing. Clever guy. I wonder if he makes a living doing those videos or if he has another job, too.
ReplyDeleteSome of the media are so disappointing but I do have a couple of trusted sites that I get in my email.
Have a nice weekend, Thelma.
