The Day Was Going Well

[gness]

Until I went out. On the way to the garden centre I stopped to have my car washed by the lovely Polish guys....I could do it myself...but I'm at the age where we should take pleasure where we can.
Unusually there were no other cars for me to queue behind so the tall, good looking chap came towards me and pointed to the bay I should use. I swear he went away then...though I was busy touching up the lippy and mascara....which not only accounts for my inattention but the speed at which I was travelling when my wing mirror made contact with his rather nice, tight bum.
I don't speak Polish...neither do I understand it, but I now know that the facial expressions accompanying a barrage of swear words are pretty much universal.
My car was cleaned in record time.

I have been looking for comfy patio furniture that will withstand the sun. There in the garden centre was the perfect piece. All in one...metal...two cushioned chairs with a raised, metal centre table made of glass with a hole in the middle to house the large parasol...which was not set into a base...just stuck in the hole. Bad mistake that.
To make sure it wan't plastic I tapped the table...lightly you understand. It wasn't secure....and it wasn't plastic.
Can you imagine the sound of glass and metal hitting the concrete floor of a cavernous garden centre?
It was magnificent and what's more the glass didn't break..very much. That was a point in it's favour. The same can't be said for the display of indoor plants in ceramic pots which were now under the parasol.
With my one free hand I lifted the parasol...heavy devils aren't they? It started to spin in large circles around my head...you remember those men on TV in the 50s who would spin plates on sticks? I can do it with a parasol.
I considered crying but the young couple who had been watching me stopped laughing long enough to rescue the parasol and suggest I look at more substantial seating.
Pity...it looked lovely....:-(

Things do happen in threes. I lost my debit card, then I lost my keys, then I lost my temper..

I'm alright now, though.

[gness]

So...should I just go to bed?

[Tilly2]

No, stay here. You can't get into trouble here can.........................you?

[humbersloop]

no gness, have an e-fag and another glass of wine

[gness]

Dunno, Tilly...is Ed around?

[gness]

Hi, Sloopy...how's you? x

[Nibble]

Can you have an e-wine gness?,( purely to go with the e-cig, e-bike, e-whatever)?

[humbersloop]

I'm allright thanks gness, helped Tilly with her lawnmower (sniggger), crossie finished, stew's bubbling and it's nearly pub o clock

[gness]

Ohh, Nibble..would that be a bit like non alcoholic wine...that's worse than an e-cig....though maybe safer on a bike.....

[Tilly2]

Sloopy...................! Stop sniggering. (You're only jealous)

[humbersloop]

don't tilly, you'll set me off again...

[Tilly2]

I fixed it.

[Mamyalynne]

Freshening make-up before a car wash, is that like best PJs for shopping? Glad he survived though.

[gness]

Mamya!! Really!! As if I would shop in PJs...goodness...the very thought.
No, it's just something that comes over me in an all male and me situation... wouldn't want spinach in the teeth...or clumpy mascara... ;-)

[Tilly2]

I hope you brushed your hair, as well. I had mine cut yesterday. How are you doing with yours?

[Mamyalynne]

Oh I see, having worked in Garages for many years, I would have spent a fortune on pots of paint then - stuck with the Swarfega and Sump oil look. LOL

[gness]

Trimmed last week, Tilly...still growing it I think....I felt I had to behave when I had it cut short....crazy people in films always have wayward hair.. or else they're bald.

[Tilly2]

......or it's an odd colour.
I meant trimmed, not cut. CUT.

[gness]

Oh the odd colour I can do...ask Shoota...
