A Soggy Weekend

 

Hello everyone,

Welcome to a very wet and miserable Sunday.  And the good news is that it is to stay wet all week!  Good for the drought, bad for those who are looking forward to some Summer sunshine, one of which is me, and I might add many of you too.  Yesterday Jim and I were starting to plant the Petunias and down came the rain, along with a really strong wind that was blowing all the blossom off of the Horse Chestnut tree opposite.  So not only were we wet and windswept, but covered in blossom too, what a sight we were!  So now I have nothing to do, I`ve done the housework, including the ironing and all that needs doing is the garden.  I can only hope the weathermen have got it all wrong and tomorrow will bring forth blue skies, sun and lovely warm weather.

                       

I saw the oddest thing this morning;  I was taking a two minute break from the ironing and I was looking out of the window and sipping my coffee.  I saw a woman of about my age walking along the road pulling a double mattress to her car, which was parked rather dangerously on a pedestrian crossing.  The woman stopped a young man who was passing and he helped her to load it into the car by folding it in half.  The thing was that the car was really small and there was no way she could get in and drive with the mattress firmly stuffed inside.  The last I saw of her was when she was talking on her mobile phone, obviously to someone who could help her, when my phone rang and I had to leave the drama behind.  When Jim came home later on he told me that the woman had bought the mattress at the Car Boot sale across the road and loaded it on top of her car, which in itself wasn`t a problem, what was however, was that the car didn`t have a roof rack so she drove off with it balanced on the top of the car.  Further down the road it fell off into the road and that was why she was dragging it along.  It seemed a rather dangerous thing to have done just so that she could buy a cheap mattress...Oh well, it brightened up an otherwise dull morning!

                             

Another thing about the dreadful weather is that Dan and Sal have hired a car for the weekend so they could go out and about.  It`s such a shame for them both as they had been looking forward to going to the coast and a themepark.  Knowing my son, it won`t have stopped him but nice weather would have been the icing on the cake.  I personally prefer to stay inside on wet days, I always have, even when I was much younger.  If I want to get wet I`ll have a shower...lol!  Anyway,  as I said I`ve not really done much this weekend so I`ll not bore you with any old rubbish.  I toddle off and read your journals now.  Enjoy your day, take care and Bye Bye for now. :o)

                                 

 

Just a Giggle

A man was telling his friend that he and his wife had a serious argument the night before.  "It ended," he said, " When she came crawling to me on her hands and knees."

"What did she say?" asked the friend.

" She said, Come out from under that bed, you coward!"
