Yesterday I leapt out of bed in a fever of efficiency. I determined to get the new year off to a flying start.
“I’m going to return that ‘Thing’ and get the money back”.
I’d bought an electronic ‘Thing’ just before Christmas, and had proudly born it home:
“Did you do any research?”
“Nnnooooo.”
With a raised eyebrow, Lo she is a terrible Goddess, sat down at her computer and with a few deft movements was in a position to declare,
“It’s rubbish and overpriced.”
What with the move and all I didn’t have a chance to return it immediately, so yesterday was the ‘day’.
I jumped into the car and drove back to the shop, which unfortunately was about an hour’s drive away.
Luck was with me all the way. Hardly any traffic and very considerate traffic lights.
I arrived.
The shop was closed.
It was New Years Day.
I returned having telephoned the TG to tell her what had, or rather hadn’t, happened.
I shuffled into the Cliff Top Residence.
The TG smiled benignly.
“Man the hunter.”
Ho hum ………….
.
(Sometimes I’m quite fond of him. Lo,TG Ed)
Stumble It!

tee-heeeeee!!!! Silly ol’ bear!
It was b****y annoying – no wonder this country is in such a mess – it’s all my fault – tee hee
Didn’t read a damn thing you just wrote…..just stopped in to say I was thinking of you.
Happy New Year…love to all you and yours!!
I’ve just spent 15 minutes trying to leave you a comment at your place so I’ll have to leave it here and hope you come back [my internet connection is RUBBISH at the moment!]
Comment – I’ve always found that paths only make sense in retrospective………. and STOP making me think so early in the morning!
Happy New Year to you Jackie – I hope you get your new site up and running soon ……
Life is grand ain’t it? Always full of sunshine, rainbows, and promise!!!
Geez…nice joke on all of us huh? I hope the Gods that be enjoy!!
awww poor peabrain …… never mind there is always tomorrow
Tomorrow is today …… and it’s raining …… I might melt …….
obviously I meant today because when you were thinking about what happened it was yesterday …..
it is thawing here … the winter wonderland is almost gone …
Yes but today is tomorrow’s yesterday and is, at the same time, yesterday’s tomorrow – it’s all a tad confusing …..
To be quite technical, you would not melt. You would dissolve!
This has been your science moment for the day.
…….. unless I share some DNA with the wicked witch of the West – please notice I haven’t mentioned Fracas ….
My cauldron was emitting an eerie vapour. I knew someone, somewhere had mentioned me.
(Or perhaps it’s just that I didn’t clean it out after the last potion… oh well…)
Frac I am still gfawing on the title ‘man – the hunter’ lol
Perhaps you two should just get on with some house-work ………. or some tatting ……
‘tatting???’
Sheeeeeesh ……….. needlework …….. did you ever receive any education ……..?
cauldron spewing translates into Saskatoon Wind arisin’. Bet it smells like egg salad sandwiches in the back of the short bus I used to ride.
Fraccy’s got wind? ……. poor thing
i find that a couple of gin and tonics will quickly quench a fever of efficiency… at least you did your part for the environmentalists. wasted travel keeps them whining!
That makes me feel much better Daisy – I LOVE to give people a reason to whine …….. or wine …….
Perhaps you need to work on this,if you ever want to truly become a “chick magnet.”
I’ll have to prioritise ……. washing is quite high on the list …….
Good Blog. I have a blog aroud Italian Culture. I’d like to exchange our links. If You’re right, please leave a comment in the last post; I’ll add you quikly after I read it.
Hello BlogMasterPg – I never ‘put out’ on a first date – I’m old fashioned like that – tee hee
People tend to think we bloggers ‘put out’ more quickly than others, don’t they. It’s an awful stigma to live with…
We must keep ourselves ‘nice’ mustn’t we Fraccy …….
