Spread your wings and fly away

Does he say hello?
no
Does he ask if I have had a good day?
no
Does he even give my a kiss in appreciation of standing over a stove cooking for him?
no

So what does he do?

the first words out of his mouth are.........................

"Is it me or are your tits getting bigger?"

Four men were bragging about how smart their cats were.

The first man was an Engineer, the second man was an Accountant,

the third man was a Chemist,,,,,,and the fourth man was a Government Employee.

To show off, the Engineer called his cat,

'T-square, do your stuff.'

T-square pranced over to the desk, took out some
paper and pen and promptly drew a circle, a square,
and a triangle. Everyone agreed that was pretty smart.
But the Accountant said his cat could do better.

He called his cat and said,

'Spreadsheet, do your stuff.'

Spreadsheet went out to the kitchen and returned

with a dozen cookies. He divided them into 4 equal piles of 3 cookies...........Everyone agreed that was good.

But the Chemist said his cat could do better. He called his cat and said,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,'Measure, do your stuff.'

Measure got up, walked to the fridge, took out a quart of milk,, got a 10 ounce glass from the cupboard and poured exactly 8 ounces without spilling a drop into the glass.

Everyone agreed that was pretty good.

Then the three men turned to the Government Employee and said, 'What can your cat do?'

The Government Employee called his cat and said,,,,,

'Coffee Break,,,,do your stuff.'

Coffee Break jumped to his feet,,,,,,,,,,,

After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social
Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's license to
verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at
home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home
and come back later.

The woman said 'Unbutton your shirt.'

So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair. She said 'That
silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my
Social Security application.

When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the
Social Security office.

She said, 'You should have dropped your pants... you might have gotten
disability, too.'

the kids and I walked towards the small shopping parade to get their hair cut. As it was a nice day I decided that we should walk the long way round, which is along the route that you would take if you go by car - not a popular choice by any means, but I was determined to make the most of the lovely weather we are currently experiencing.

The walk was pleasant, though noisy with the traffic that was going past and talks with the children of times past, when they were younger and of their memories of visiting various places along the way (mainly son talking about a birthday party he attended in the local MacDonalds )

We reached our destination, sat down and patiently waited for their turn, when in comes our postman. He is always good to have a chat with, a bit disconcerting when he can tell you what he delivered that morning though! After a discussion about MIL postcard that she has sent from sunny Perth, where apparently at the moment it is very, very hot (in the 100s according to her card) and about various neighbours, we began to discuss holiday plans and the fact that he often takes his grandchildren over to Florida for a holiday. A worthwhile discussion ensued of the best places to go and the fact that at least one place no longer exists, Dixie Stampede, which is a shame as I know it is something hubby would like to go and see.

Anyway, I digress, children have their hair cuts, I pay and after a worthwhile visit to the bakers for one of their delicious cheese and tomato rolls, we start to walk back home, this time taing the route through the park.

Now I really wish I had taken my camera with me. The park was filled with birdsong, the sky was beautiful and blue and the trees, some of which were coming into blossom, were a lovely picture against the blue sky. The River Lea, or stream as my hubby calls it, was bubbling away nicely and we were able to see some sticklebacks swimming in and out of the weeds and the birds that popped down for a drink. On this occasion though, no ducks could be seen, but I suppose they will be back soon.

We arrived home, exhausted and hungry, had our lunch and now thinking of what to do next. may, just may put some more washing out!

1) Blue Peter or Magpie?
magpie, though don't know why I watched that rather than Blue Peter really

2) What was your favourite comic?
Was never really into comics so don't have a favourite

3) What was your favourite sweet of all time?
Black jacks because they made your tongue black

4) Ever set light to something with a magnifying glass?
No, never appealed

5) How did you cover your school books?
Wallpaper, we used to have quite a bit lying around which to use for covering books

6) Favourite lesson?
History, just loved it

7) Were you ever a monitor, prefect, headboy/girl?
No was never popular enough to be one

8) Ever represented your school at sports?
What's that? I used all sorts of excuses to get out of doing sports and was quite convincing as well, either that or the teacher gave up with me. Used to be good at netball but even stopped playing that when my nemesis chose someone else over me to play for the school team - again it also came down to how popular you was and I wasn't

9) Ever played an Instrument?
Recorder and clarinet

10) What did you play in the Nativity?
I would be put in the choir, in the background, Nativity roles were always given to the most popular kids - not that I am bitter at all, no really I am not lol

I should have done some gardening over the weekend, in fact on Friday I had every intention of doing that.

I even marked it on the calendar "Faffa do garden"

Needless to say, despite the gorgeous weather, it didn't get done. i chilled out in front of the telly instead, which is bad, but I had a hankering for being by the sea, for walking along in the sun and the wind and breathing in the fresh air. I didn't want to be outside where everyone were mowing their lawns, playing music loudly, kids screaming as they played outside in the street.

I wanted peace and tranquility.

So there I was, on the sofa, watching one silly movie after another just for the hell of it!!

The washing didn't even get done *tsk*

Today though the washing is on the line, I have managed to emerge from the comfort of my bed and plan to walk the kids to the hairdressers to get their hair cuts. Simon is protesting that his doesn't need to be done, but it really does look like a mop now, in fact I am rather tempted to turn him upside down and wash the floor!!

I may get some housework done, I may even do some ironing, it all depends on how I feel later. One thing is obvious though, those darn windows need cleaning again, made worse by the sun filtering through and showing up how dirty they are!

Oh well no use procrastinating on here, better get a move on and drag some children from their beds

Have a good day
