Computer check up

See you Saturday after my M.O.T.

 

Class description

What a bunch and the teacher is insisting on correct grammar; I will tell you about it later as I have a date with a hot bath, Jimmy Nail and a glass of red wine.

 

 

 

Night class

I have enrolled for a writing class, this could be fun.

 

A decision

I am staying in bed today with a bag of crisps, a bottle of cider and a book; Albert can get lunch.

Just another Saturday

Out on the 974 bus with a notepad, the lady sat next to me lives in a cemetery, the man behind is taking off his shoes and of course you get a better type of gossip on this bus.

Veronica is marching today for a good cause clutching a banner I hope.

Me – I am meeting a long lost friend for breakfast, dinner and tea ……..

 

Just in case

I was asking a friend in the local charity shop if she would look after Elvis for a few months and her colleague replied “why are you going to jail”.

I was speechless, I had my best coat on and was wearing make up. 

 

 

Tom Conti

I once told a story about Tom Conti and as he is coming to Yorkshire I shall tell it again.

I invited friends to a special birthday I was celebrating and on the invitation I mentioned I had also asked Tom Conti to join us – however if he turned up they were all to leave early. 

I booked a room at the local pub and showed the barmaid the printed birthday details, are you still with me?

Barmaid:  Oh she said you know Tom Conti

Me: No

Barmaid: But you have invited him to your birthday party

Me: I know

Barmaid: But you do not know him

The conversation went down hill from there.

 

 

I want a literary festival

I want a literary festival – just me and many friends.  I want to walk around the audience with a script, I want to digress and interact, I want to laugh with people, cuddle Hot Beard and Cloud Flower and Veronica and much more …

Oh come on BBC I am not expensive!!!

 

 

 

 

And then

Albert joined us for a pint or two in the Flying Cat pub and we returned home at a respectable hour.

 

 

Writers galore

I set off early yesterday to attend a literary lunch in York.  It was an exciting day and made even better as I was joined by Violet Rose, Melody and Cuthbert Tring and then Cloud Flower and Hot Beard and a good time was had by all.

I cannot help it!

Veronica is planting swert peas!!

Who is he?

Who is Brick Van Winkle, do I know him?  He seems to know me.

This is my only Eunice and Veronica notification of today unless I get a phone call and have to dash out or Veronica visits me?

 

 

 

Blog advice

Thank you Katie Boulder-Cuttlefish for your suggestion that I blog daily – I will try.

My blogging depends on many things – champagne for breakfast helps, a day out with Veronica is useful, some moments with Albert are inspirational, days at the allotment with Elvis and much more …….

See you tomorrow.

 

 

Not true Albert

Albert told me it was National Hat Day this Friday; he is wrong it was in January.

I will contact Veronica and we will have our own Hat Day on Friday – what colour Veronica?

Where are you Veronica, can I borrow your pink hat?

 

 

 

Harriet

Harriet from Lindisfarne (that is a nice place) has been in touch telling me I lead an exciting and mysterious life ………………I do, but perhaps you should not believe all you read.

 

 

Cut short again - haircut

Talking of cut short – did I tell you my hairdresser went off to climb Mount Fuji; I assume she will come back?  So gist of this story is I need another interesting hairdresser and have had so many hair cuts to find one!

Last week’s was no good she asked me questions; i.e. are you going anywhere nice today ………… oh that’s good and I NEVER ANSWERED.  Not having that; so I found Hannah; she listens to me and has a Harley-Davidson Road King and a key ring to match; she will do for me

Short lived

My journalism career has been cut short because I forgot Raymond – I was busy writing poetry.

 

Las Vegas

I am contacting the cleaning company from America because Albert spilt his homemade vegetable soup on the carpet!

Albert said it was an accident – I will leave him for two days next week and he can sort it out ………. I have plans and his mishap will make him think it was his idea!

Coupon offers

I was about to hit ‘pay now’ when I realized payment was in dollars; my carpet and gutter cleaning was in Las Vegas!  Now how has that happened?

 

 

 

Eclipse

Out for the day to see the eclipse, what an excuse!

I have three options as destinations and Plymouth is too far away.  Seriously   I am not bothering with the eclipse; just escaping for the day and wearing a blue hat.

I may not tell you where I am going?

 

Not answering the phone

I am assuming that Fergus returned and I can safely answer the landline, will keep you informed.

 

 

Bad cat sitter

I was looking after Fergus who is a black friendly kitten, for a friend, feeding him at home and letting him out next day but I appear to have lost him.

Fergus come home please.

 

 

Hot computer

Elvis has started to sleep on top of my lap top – bad cat.

Yorkshire cows

Susanne from Cornwall telephoned with news of her new grandchild named Blossom.

I was of course pleased for her but could only visualise another Blossom; a very large Yorkshire heifer who used to eat my mother’s roses.

 

 

 

Bored now

I tried to find Veronica when Albert went out and then remembered she was Irish dancing somewhere, after an Irish stew lunch – she did not invite me.

I cannot find my duster so will make a beef tamarind curry instead and then open a bottle of wine or I could have a walk to the allotment.

Curry first …………

 

Football journalism

Raymond is unable to report on his allocated football match today and he asked me if I could do it. 

No Raymond I am at home resting and dusting; you should have considered me as a stand-in before you told me my reporting skills were rubbish!

No I cannot Skype the match – my hair needs cutting.

See you next week then Raymond?

 

Worn out

I am tired this morning because I have been socialising since last Sunday – did I not tell you?  Albert and I went away for a few days to the seaside and since our return I have been out every day and night ………… staying in now until Tuesday.

My plans may change if Veronica is able to text me!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No contact

Veronica and I have a problem, she cannot text me; her phone does not like me – I have offered various solutions but to date no success. 

What would we do if it was urgent?

 

Away games

No Raymond I cannot attend away games; Albert would be lonely.

 

A visitor

Mabel Elizabeth visited yesterday and is staying until Saturday; we had so much to say and plan – we left Albert and Elvis and went out for a meal and drinks …………….  I cannot remember walking home.

 

 

Ladybird feet

Beryl had a ladybird on her toe today; she really must wash her feet more thoroughly.

 

An accident

I fell in a hole on the way to the shops this morning and twisted my ankle – I tried to tell my yoga mates about the hole and they did not believe me!  I changed my story to I fell in a chasm after a sky dive!!

 

 

 

 

A long walk

Veronica has signed us both up for a charity walk in August, ending with a glass of champagne; I am not agreeing to this jaunt until I know how far it is.

 

 

Football

Ah the football, Raymond was cross with me because I missed the kick-off and I did not know you were not supposed to stand next to the referee; especially in a lime green coat.

I did not use any of my words to describe the game – indeed Raymond would not make use of any of my chosen phrases.

Perhaps this is a short lived adventure as after all I am awaiting the telephone call from the BBC.

 

Tomorrow's adventure

Albert has dusted off our bikes and is insisting we go cycling tomorrow – I want to stay at home with Elvis and plant onions!

 

 

 

Henna arrangements

Veronica has made an appointment for us both in May to have a henna tattoo. 

I am slightly alarmed

 

A small tattoo

Veronica decided that we will wait until we are seventy for our birthday tattoo – it will be a long time yet!

We will need gin medication.

I have lost her again.

I forgot

Raymond the Sports Journalist emailed me tonight with an arrangement for Saturday; I have not told Albert – should I change Raymond’s name or just say I am shopping?

 

 

Decision

I took Elvis to the allotment, he is a lot better the antibiotics have worked and he is able to climb trees again.  I put a collar on him so he could run among the cabbages.

I am on digging rota next week, I may need Albert.

 

 

Nearly Spring

There is an allotment meeting today – shall I take Albert or Elvis?

 

 

Fried bread

Veronica’s message today she was looking forward to fried bread and a long walk; I wonder where she is?

 

Champagne

Veronica is away with Pedro drinking champagne in a log cabin?

She may get snowed in.

 

Spanish problems

I have a Spanish fan named Josefina from Calasparra; she sends me Spanish messages i.e.  Megustas Eunice y Veronica es divertido.

Oh Veronica can you speak Spanish?
