Right DT and Tonyav

I`m home and less of the cheek you two!
Interesting few days. Journey to Devon would have been fine if I had not been in a strangely happy mood...Singing along to Rod Stewart who was belting out Maggie at the top of his voice and paying no attention to the sat nav. Forty miles out of my way before I realised that the A34 had changed a lot since my last trip.
No idea where I was so turned up an attractive lane....I was now on Shrivenham golf course. Very pretty.
Found the A303....it was hell. Forty minutes to pass two strawberry stalls. I became very friendly with the couple in the next car until he began to tell me about his hernia operation and his wife raised her eyebrows and wound up his window. 6.5 hours to do a 4 hour trip.
Slimbridge was wonderful. I was unable to steal the life-size cut outs of Chris P and Martin but the man who caught me was kind and told me to keep my eyes open and I may just see the real thing!! Didn`t blink all day.
Graduation went well. I led a small rebellion against the locking of loos for disabled and having to ask for a key to get in. Loos now open and I made two new friends.
Bristol is fun, especially when the Pride March is on. Didn`t have the shoes to join in.
Daughter`s car broke down as we were leaving for Honiton. Had to go home in a bloody recovery truck and was I dressed for it? Not likely and not wishing to risk the arm and a leg silk jacket on the oily seat I removed it. A bit more than a bra under would have been wise but hadn`t wanted to spoil the line.
Grabbed a coat that tied from the waist and attempted to climb in clutching bosom. Do you know how high those trucks are? And they have no sodding shock absorbers! 8 coffees and 4 glasses of fizz and I was cross legged.
The guy agreed to stop at the services....right next to a muddy bank and a puddle fit to pond dip in. One hand on the bosom and one hand on the door left no hands for the floaty skirt which, thanks to the gale god sent as I leapt into the puddle, ended up around my ears. Thank goodness I hadn`t done a Crafty and gone commando. The satin,curly toed blingy slip on shoes died.
Lovely journey home. Joan Baez playing...didn`t argue with sat nav and made it in 4.5 hours to find a pipe leaking in the airing cupboard. Anyone know a good plumber.....Preferably not MrsO damaged.
Sunny-Dave. Thank you for posting post card.xx

Whew, and I thought you were skiving off enjoying yourself!

[gness]

This is how I enjoy myself Sibton. Travel with me at your peril.:-)

[jno]

were any males harmed in the making of this post?

[Psybbo]

Not yet jno, but rest assured, gness is just getting going

[gness]

Well not quite but there is a cross taxi driver in Bristol and a damaged taxi. I was having trouble shutting the door and whatever I did wrong sent the window crazy. It went up,down,up,down getting faster all the time. In the end he could only stop it by having it partially open. He twittered on about the rain getting in on his passengers. Honestly, you`d think his gold fish had died or something. Drama Queen if ever I saw one.

We have done nothing while you have been away gness.....except mine the guinness pump, built a thirty foot edifice and buried the Bengal tiger under tenrec's garden lot.

[gness]

I`ve been watching you. :-i

Hi DT. Well?

[craft1948]

If you'd gone commando you might have got a lift home in a nice car........

[gness]

Oh Crafty....I`m not as quick as you. :-)

[craft1948]

[i]Oh Crafty....I`m not as quick as you[i]

Are you confusing me with Tony?

[DTCwordfan]

Fine here.....after the palaver with the mater's freezer (see Good morning yesterday), one of the worse jobs I have ever taken on and even worse than handling a dead person.

[gness]

Murray has a different tale,Crafty.

Saw the thread DT. Been there and done it and more to see to now I`m back for a while. Yuk.

[Psybbo]

scuse me gness, how did the visit to the dentist go, dt?

[tenrec]

Oh gness, how we laughed!
Wot! A tiger under my veg? DT please.

[gness]

Sibton. Whatever happened to DT. It wasn`t me.

[DTCwordfan]

Nothing done, sibton, other than a polish of the ivory piano keys......Phew.

[tonyav]

Oi crafty, cheeky mare !
Interesting journey then gness lol.

[ummmm]

I know a good plumber. He's a bit randy though!!

[tonyav]

They all are ummmm, they get the training during their apprenticeship !

[mrs_overall]

Well thank you very much indeed gness. You have just spoiled one of my plots for the radio show (a little bird had already told me snippets of this tale.)
