Mrs O - I Will Start Another (Hopefully Happier) Thread

[hellywelly4]

I miss Mrs O very. very much. She lightened the mood and made many of us chuckle out loud.
I always think of gness and Mrs O together - they bounced off each other.

[gness]

I miss her too, Helly....and as for bouncing off each other....we did...both in humour and when I was trotting along on the cobbles trying to keep up with her...
She was very tall and elegant and wore very high heels......I'm short and clumsy......we clashed often when she stopped as I was running to catch up...

I had some fun with her.....we were finally going to share a proper drink rather than orange juice when she got her new kidney.....we had been talking about that by phone minutes before she fell and then died......x

[Lie-in King]

She was lots of fun, I always enjoyed her threads. Much missed indeed x

[gness]

I may have posted this before...if so forgive me...

I had a phone call from Sibs asking if she had somehow upset MrsO...

The reason was that MrsO had sent Sibs a gift of a pot with a bulb in.....Amaryllis.....Sibs (not a gardener) was happily watching them start to grow until.....and this is what she said.....

I must have done something wrong, Gness.....I thought it would become a flower...but this plant is growing into a giant penis?????

I miss Mrs.O's lovely stories. She had me laughing through them. She was a wonderful storyteller and she had actually had one going that she never got to finish. I'm sure she's entertaining the angels.

[gness]

Tell you what was odd and, if you like, a little spooky. I had been lighting candles all around Ireland.....and Eanceoil had been praying that MrsO would receive a transplant.
I was in the wilds of the Wicklow mountains for a week...no phone signal at all.....
Then my phone pinged in with a text......
MrsO....I'm in hospital and I have a new kidney! Speak soon....a drink soon!.....x

That was the one and only time my phone worked in the whole week.....
Luckily there is a pub near our cabin so we celebrated and customers joined in with good wishes ..... it was so lovely....x

I can verify gness's story about the Irish Wilderness.

An assortment of expensive phones had all failed to get a signal for the best part of a week - unless you tramped over 2km through some midge infested bog to the top of a nearby ridge - which even a bunch of hardened twitchers thought was a yomp too far.

Gness's elderly mobile (which must have cost nearly £1 from Tesco in about 1989) suddenly pinged - we all assumed it had finally died and this was its death rattle - but there was the text from Mrs O with the news about her transplant. It never worked again for the rest of the week.

There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio ...

The world is a poorer place without Mrs O.

[NoMercy]

She was a very funny lady. She and Psybbo are much missed ♥️

So do I, hellywelly. The psychiatrist said I will get over it in about another 35 years ;-)

Anyhoo Mrs Overload, Happy Birthday.
if your looking in from above The goat is doing just fine, he has a girlfriend now !!!, got my velvet suit back from answerbank on the wold dry cleaners on Saturday morning ( run by one of gness's relatives from County Mayo, maybe thats why the bill came to £150 ).
I've been banned from the village pub quiz team ( again ) and that PC Andy Hughes is always on my case ( someone keeps grassing me up, I have my suspicions on who it is and she's not very tall !!!! ).

[gness]

Now you've brought a tear and a smile, Tony.....didn't she have the most wonderful imagination.....x

[jourdain2]

She did, gness, I also miss her contributions very, very much. Living, as I do, in Little Wittering-on-the-Wold, I often think of takes she would have on things that happen.

[tonyav]

Little Wittering-on-the-Wold,

LOL, sounds like something Frankie Howard would use, jourdain.


.didn't she have the most wonderful imagination.....x

Yes she did, gness. As did Pysbo ( I really miss my phone conversations with her and listening to her Fenella Fielding type voice and hearing her lovely infectious laugh ).
