Changing Personality

[lady-janine]

i feel i am morphing into becoming a, much less attractive, well-known georgeous (so i am told) red-headed, accident prone irish guinness drinker.

a nice day so decided to go into the garden to have a bonfire. so far so good. quite windy so put on gardening jacket and trousers, dm's and leather gloves completed the fashion-conscious ensemble for mrs 5x5.
bonfire of previously cut gorse and blackthorn going well until i stepped on a thorn that went through the sole of my boots. omg did it hurt. i must point out that this part of the garden is on a fairly steep slope - more like a cliff,in fact. i murmured, well yelled, this seemed to affect the lambs in the next field who started to bleat for their mothers. the ewes started to baaaaa like mad and all of them were running round the field like sheep do.
our neightbour on his tractor a couple of fields over saw his sheep running around and immedately decided to investigate driving his tractor along the lane in what can only be described as a reckless way. at least i think that is what the tescos delivery van going the opposite way thought as he reversed out of the hedge. not that i could see too much as the wind had changed direction and i was blinded by smoke.
decided it would be a good idea to move out of the smoke but with eyes closed put my feet into a badger hole and so fell on my knees banging into a large gorse bush which shed dead needles into my hair and down my back. at that moment something on the bonfire produced a shower of sparkes and singed holes in my trousers and jacket but worse still one landed my head and started to ignite the dead gorse needles. patting/banging all these sparks out burnt holes in my gloves.
by now the air is the same colour as the bluebells.
oh is quite a way away hidden by some more gorse and has not seen anything says "are you having a sit down? do you feel tired already?"

politely, what do you think i should have said in reply?

[Traci66]

I don't think there is a polite way of phrasing what I would of said.

[SlackAlice]

Couldn't possibly type my reply here, I'd be 'banned' ☺

[bookbinder]

Thank you for your concern, my sweet. I do feel somewhat the worse for wear, and I am rather warm. So, yes, I am having a sit down.

[chrissa1]

You've just made me chuckle. Thanks.

[lady-janine]

lol @ bookbinder

fortunately i was hidden from the farmer by large bank of gorse so he didn't know what spooked his sheep. and i do have a very individual hair style.

[lady-janine]

that's good chrissa. i can laugh now as it was a couple of hours ago.

"It's very nice weather we are having?"

or to quote Kenneth Graeme:

"The Mole has long wanted to make my acquaintance of the Badger.He seems, by all accounts, to be such an important personage."

That would have had them sending down the men with the white-jackets though.

[DTCwordfan]

(I have just discovered that the veg at lunch time were cooked in the dog's metal bowl)

[lady-janine]

DTC did you dine avec votre mater?

[DTCwordfan]

Malheureusement, oui.

[lady-janine]

comment sa va maintenant?

[DTCwordfan]

well I am still alive and the pub is looking increasingly attractive tonight.

[lady-janine]

mine's a large gin.

think i will go and make some custard (a la tillypronie) to go with the baked salmon on spinach for tonight's tea. rhubarb crumble and cream for pudding.

i can still smell singed hair even after a shower.

[DTCwordfan]

is that a hollandaise or something for the fish?

it will probably be a red wine this end later.....got a macaroni cheese to nosh....

[society]

Not sure if this is good or bad but I thought of Gness as I read the original post. :)

[gness]

So it's not a good idea for me to visit you LadyJ....two of us might be a bit too much....
Why is that Society...anyone would think I was accident prone?...;-)
I mopped the kitchen floor this morning and put the mop outside the door to dry. Brother and his wife came to visit...Ooooo..I said...come and look at the lights John has put up outside for me so I don't fall over in the dark. Opened the back door, jumped down the step and fell over the mop..:-(
Should have waited til dark...said the brother...then you could have put on the lights to see what you are falling over.....I'm still working that one out.

[Psybbo]

Hello Lady J, I hope you are recovering from your ordeal and hope you've had your anti-tetanus jab. Warning, steer clear of the lovely Gness, look how Tilly is suffering xx

[gness]

Blimey Psyb! I've only offered to collect Tilly from the station... ;-) I promise I will return her safely to AB...well I'll give it my best shot anyway....x

[lady-janine]

now i am also very puzzled. i although that op had to choose best answer but i did not choose that one, in fact i never choose anything. and if i had it would have been bookbinder's reply.

ED - WHAT IS GOING ON????????????????

[DTCwordfan]

Oh dear, you two will get on well, I am sure...........(I think)

Came back to find all the tv cables ripped out (yet again - default is not the control unit or the plug, that latter one being what I use as the main on-off for her, the TV set to her programmes.....)

All I get is a very loud objectionable Euugh to what she had done, not an even an apology, so the cables can bloody well sit there and I have grabbed the Pc and gone for sanctuary.
