Politically Brain Dead

Well heres a pretty kettle of fish of the stinky rotting fisheads in a bucket variety .  Boris Johnson in his position of squatter in chief has got away with the creation of the Tory Reich it is now quite openly season of alternative truth in the political world, Cummings Cummins are filling the headlines. The era of the weasel spin doctor is once again upon us

Suggestions Cummings? BORIS

Tomorrow we will Prorogue Parliament !!!!

What we put Corbyn in a canoe on the Thames?  RAAB

No Dominic  , thats pirogue  not prorogue ...stupid boy.  BORIS

Well wont Queenie have to sign that off Cummings?  BORIS

Just ring her and mention Andrew and extradition , she'll ok anything

Now explain the purpose of Proroguing ~Parliament   BORIS

Headlines Boris , headlines!  Nobody is going to be looking at anything else , it will fill every bit of media , instead of everyone questioning all the little decisions we are making and the lack of a cunning plan . Headlines with added bonus points .

The bonus points are ? BORIS 

Old Queenies advisors will tell her to bugger off to Norfolk due to public outrage and demands for the abolition of the monarchy,  just think of the money, we then seize Buckingham Palace , think of the land value Boris , prime real estate , central London , theres all those millions set aside for its refurb which can go missing .  We could turn it into flats for the homeless , think of the headlines , im sure we have a donor that has a building firm  , then they can fold due to the recession and we blame Corbyns lot for it .

Thens there is the rioting .

What rioting Cummings ? Boris

Everybody who kids themselves that their vote counts for anything will be marching for London unless they have a barbecue planned that is.

They keep doing that , theres no riots , theyre just a traffic hazard , we just use the tunnels to get around .  BORIS

But we can stage riots, you can hire professional rioters these days and couple of Sky News teams to beam it round the world .   Riots , Marshal Law !!!  Think Boris , there will be no stopping us , we have risen!!!!


Now this is a work of fiction unless im really a prophet of doom .....we shall see

Heat

So its season of mists, spiders and heat . 6am and im plodding up and down the path outside trying to stop my back spasming, the world is gorgeous in that brief span of time . The flying currants are back big time so im gargling fly spray .  My daughter came and stole her cat , so now my morning walk companion is missing as the other two are sulking over her going , Big Doris has left the building . She will be sadly missed.
Meanwhile in my role as cat lady , we have one on loan , a little half grown ginger and white girl . The neighbours having bogged off on the lash all weekend leaving her a bowl of food in the porch that being a greedy wee thing she will have eaten ten minutes after they left  , shes now been here for three days , currently sat purring at my feet very grateful for her breakfast , shes not staying,the neighbours kids love her to death , but with it being doors and windows open weather she can potter in and out with my other part time lodgers .
The house move is proving to be chaos , im sure my daughter and the munchkin have been living in a tardis it seems to be endless van loads plus theres tons of furniture she doesnt want and when its empty it all needs decorating . Then theres the challenge of getting sarcastic son to move into the house properly , hes on the mild end of the autistic spectrum and has had a lot of mental health problems in the last year, hes loves his bolt hole in the brick shed , mainly because he doesnt cope well with noise , but in another week or so they will be gone and the noise will be pretty much gone. Not sure how i will cope with the silence but im sure he will love it .
Garden chores will begin in earnest in the next few days once the weather breaks a bit , far to hot to be tackling much outside , i managed an afternoon crocheting in the garden parked in the shade listening to the crickets yesterday, i have a cunning plan for the conifers , so if you never hear from me again you know it went badly...lol

Unsavoury

So in between watching the Great Move and hobbling about from our road trip , heres my update to the latest news happenings .
The Duke of York ...what a prat , im surprised hes not going round pointing out his dodgy American girlfriend was 17 so totally legal here . Meanwhile The queen has obviously bunged old Anything for a Shekel Fergie a few quid to play happy families with him .
 The Whole Epstein shenanigans beggars belief , suicide my arse , he had a price on his head the day he got arrested . He obviously liked them young, far to young to be legal anywhere but the arab states, then he passed off his cast offs to those dumb enough to accept them, like dolls hed finished playing with
This carry on is one i know far to much about , I had an appaling childhood  the sort people write books about.  There is no justice , no closure , no happy ever after for these girls . To survive you have to bury it deep and build another you.    Subject closed

Road Trip

So this week has been spent trying to psych myself up for a roadtrip to Glasgow tomorrow , daughter has won tickets  to the Runrig Tour movie premier , we have to do this and be home , childcare, other half care etc is thin on the ground, plus time as she gets the keys to her first house today and has only a weeks holiday to do the move etc etc , things are a tad hectic around here at the moment . Then we should be back first thing Sunday morning to tackle everything , that no rest for the wicked saying comes to mind . So if im not about a lot dont be surprised ..lol ..i may well be sleeping this little adventure off for days

Cat Lady

I have a problem, cats like me , in fact i just attract them . We are about to lose Big Doris shes moving with my daughter and the munchkin shortly and i think every other cat in the neighbourhood  is auditioning for the vacancy . I went out for my morning toddle yesterday set off with none and by the time i was round the corner my 3 had appeared and were following me , then Fat Foster the neighbours cat lumbered up , by the time id got to the barns i had 5 not even sure whos the black fluffy one is .  Coming back just to make life stranger a white cat fell at my feet out of a tree not sure who was more startled me or it .
Pottering doing garden jobs yesterday looked up and id a circle of 8 of the buggers , best of all next doors half grown  kitten has just ventured out for the first time and decided it was going in the house for its dinner , totally unphased by my hissing spitting girls .
Weirdest of all I went out to the bin last night and stood on a hedgehog ..WTF ...
Looked out the front window this morning and theres 3 more strange cats stood watching me .....weird just weird

Mumbling

I think im turning into the annoying old biddy at the tills of late , you know the one who holds a huge queue up over some triviality . So i went into one of the bargain shops in Lincoln pottered around picked up some weird food items and they had a shelf full of camping stove gas unmarked but theyre usually when they have them around the £1 mark , i got to the till she totted it up and it came to over £20 . So i chimed up WHAT.  it turned out the camping gas was £3.47 each , so i said they can go back i dont want them . Well she got a bit of a huff on and summoned the manager . He turns up , looks and says that cant be right , scans one £3.47 . errrrrr so then he goes and gets a spreadsheet from the office has a look and it says four pack for £3.47 . Hooray that was the mystery solved . but he said weve had them in for weeks and your the only person noticed .  It does annoy me when things dont have the price on the shelf , the worst offender is the PoundShop  you get to the till and it comes to some ridiculous amount , its even worse when its busy and its all self service tills , you can grind the whole place to a halt just by questioning something . So be aware if your in Lincoln  and theres a moaning old biddy holding things up at the till its probably me ...lol

Lord of the Flies

Flies !!!  UURRRGGGHH  we are plagued with flies this year , we always get loads this time of year joys of living in the countryside im afraid , but this year theyre a real tough bunch , not helped by other halfs wanting every door and window open , normal fly spray doesnt do a lot for these tough critters , so i ordered a case of the good stuff off Amazon its lasted 2 weeks , now other half has announced we arent to spray it if hes in the house he doesnt like it , but hes in the house pretty much all the time , i have pointed out there is a chair just outside the front door and he can stagger there if he cant stand it . We have an electric fly light but theyre just ignoring it . Its all a bit third world as they head for your eyes .
He went fishing yesterday with his brother and it was plague of dragonflys day when i took lunch down to them . never seen so many different sizes and colours . managed to get a huge one hit me in the forehead thought someone had thrown a stone at me ..lol
So the third plague in the area is the tourists , my annual gripe , its really busy this year which is a good thing for the local economy , but not such a good thing for the local residents , we just smile nicely , nod and shake our heads as they leave , we fen trolls are like that .
Yesterday we had a whole bunch of late teen Americans in town , you can spot them quite easily all tall , wearing pricey labels towering over us , with amazing braces and a baffled expression, polite kids though under your feet when your a harassed local, double parked to do the bread and milk run .
The middle class prick leading them was a stunner , hes stood outside the Coop with his herd telling them that this is the local shop a bit like a sweet shop to get soda and a sandwich from , no prick this overpriced wine emporium is our only shop for miles , we are all so damned poor that we only shop there if we have to and we have to . Our other shop in the village has virtually empty shelves except on delivery day. most of our employment is seasonal and minimum wage , all the residents are aging and the young have to leave to get on with their lives . I managed to avoid opening my mouth and just stood on his toes in passing for fun and jollies .  Nice kids though, very polite and very baffled

Politically Challenged

Well I read my tea leaves  and im just more baffled than ever , So now Boris is in charge , not to sure what hes in charge of  apart from holding together that bunch of inept weirdos he calls a cabinet .
So lets take a peek , Good old Saj, in favour of immigration policies that would see his own dad deported . then theres the Minister for Israel  Priti Patel , capital punishment anyone?  Now obviously Boris is after the right wing asian vote that nobody in the Tory Party has thought of going after before, just on the grounds of the racism of most of their supporters , but those who came here in the 60s and 70s have often risen with lots of hard graft up the wealth ladder and giving it to the Tory Party Coffers would be a good idea wouldnt it . To much generalisation on that front Boris , the asian community has more factions than your own party , sadly you didnt have any big beardy blokes in the Tory Party to shove on the front bench , traditionally the muslim vote belongs to the Labour Party
 But  theres the added jolly jape of watching Trumps head explode when he has to deal with them .
Dominic Raab , do you remember the kid whos parents were on the PTA , went to the Golf Club , wernt in the Masons honest etc etc . The kid who got the lead rolls in the school play but couldnt remember the lines?  exactly .
Chris Grayling ...Oh dear , but then Boris can blame him for anything and he will just nod , a very Yes Minister appointment .
Its rather like watching the criminal takeover of a different Mafia family,  we are now been ruled by the Monster Raving Greed faction of the Tory Party who have been waiting in the wings for a while just for such  an event .
Where is this all going ? who knows , my crystal ball is very foggy at the moment ...Prep On kids , Prep on

Over It

Well thats my cares review over with , twenty minutes of my time , 2 cautions and endlessly repeating yes nothing has changed , degenerative condition means he can only get worse . The only good news is that the rules on himself being in hospital have changed , its not more than 48 hrs anymore , i must notify them after he has been in hospital for 24 hours and he is allowed 28 days over a 26 week period , which is much more realistic. Also im one of the lucky 800 carers they are reviewing this year.  Doesnt help the up at 3am worrying about this im afraid .  He ducked the question of what company is doing these reviews..mmm
So what have i been up to other than worrying and paddling ?  Cat jumble Saturday rather a good one , mountains of stuff but not as many folks as usual, the monsoon season could have something to do with it.  Got an unused boxed small George forman Grill for a couple of pounds , other half has wittered about one for months , we will see it may be yet another useless gadget that is harder to clean than to use ..lol  I also bought a Tom Tom sat nav for 50p , just because i broke the screen on mine and i may be able to replace it with the 50p one , or basically make one good one out of two bad . A slack handful of linen doilies and a rather nice vintage printed happy birthday tablecloth , didnt even go near the clothes they were practically fighting, the worst ive seen in years , sign of the times i think .
Now i will have to spend this afternoon hovering over my crystal ball looking at the political shenanigans, shuffling and dealing my tea cards or maybe reading my tea leaves if their not on ration , now my minds off other matters

Can Things Get Worse

So the brown envelope from the DWP landed on the doormat , this time addressed to me . It would seem i am to be subjected to a Carer Review , Tom from the DWP is going to ring me between 9-11 Monday , then comes a long list of penalties for not being stood by the phone waiting . It then proceeds to explain that this is merely a government information gathering exercise and to check page 5 for more information..errr theres only 4 pages ?
My point is that the whole thing is menacing, theres a whole page of warnings of the consequences of fraud another page of if you fail to answer the questions with replies that match exactly what they have on file you will lose all your benefits . Its a threatening letter called a review .
So i may have to get himself up at 5am to make sure hes safely toileted and ready for the day , just in case he needs help during this hour long telephone debacle.
At least its took my mind off the other debacle we are all about to witness .

Coming Over All

So im contemplating a birthday and life in general . Did i ever think life would come to this ? Living in the weird limbo land of being a carer ?
Growing up it was expected that a womens purpose in life was to breed and keep house , my mother was the first working mother i knew, it just didnt happen in the early 60s . I think this was because my parents were married 8 years before i accidentally popped up , my mother was a great practicer of counting days to not get pregnant , she had a green diary with every date in her mooncycle ever . I have never been forgiven for the time she had flu and dad got the wrong day , she reminded me of this the other day . 84 and she still bares a grudge ...lol
But the thing that gets me is that everyones a working mum these days , we gained so much liberation down the years that a woman now has all the equality she could want, apart from equal pay . But still its the woman who does the majority of household chores , pretty much all the childcare extras , looks after parents , partners, the bleedin cat and uncle Tom Cobley and all .
So did we gain anything from feminism and equality ?  Apart from that is more deaths from heart disease , stress and mental illness . Our lives are run at full pelt , everybody is tired exhausted and in debt .
So answer this one .  What did men lose from our gains ?  Discuss

Fish 2

Mr Bah Humbug is in mourning , the fishing pit hes used since he was a kid is closing except for residents , the owners have had a lot of trouble with strangers turning up without a fishing license then starting arguments over the matter , it had great disabled access and toilet facilities . So now hes having to trial other sites , which is proving fun .  Many advertise disabled facilities , but really havent put much thought into there provisions .  He does need to be able to get his vehicle right up to the fishing point .  Solid ground at the point he sits is a must and toilet facilities that dont have stairs or a blue bucket bog are also requirements .  Minor niggles like the pegs being knee deep in goose crap, dont help if your not that steady on your feet . His weirdest problem is that the fish musnt be to big or he cant land them and he says im useless..lol
I do think hes probably at the worst end of the disabled spectrum that can be expected to go to these places , but we actually fished one yesterday that wasnt to bad , apart from the toilets being non accessible for him .
On the wildlife front Big Doris has let her breakfast escape in the hallway , the three furry virgins are all sat around the huge chest of drawers at the bottom of the stairs awaiting the demise of the tiny vole that escaped her ,you have to be a cat person to put up with this bunch you really do

Is It Me?

Forgive me for i have sinned , i bought my first item of clothing new this year . apart from underwear this rarely happens , i was in B&N stood at the tills paying for my peppered spam ration , a rare and wonderous foodstuff..lol  They had several trollys of kids clothing knocked down to a quid at the tills , when a girl pulled up with a trolley full of packs of leggings , she chirped up to the girl on the tills .
Nobodys gonna want these , theyre all for fat fucks . much sniggering ensued you could here the rattle of their tiny braincells . So i picked them up and looked £3 for two pairs excellent .
They seemed rather quiet when i left . But then i did comment.......Fat fuck leggings just what i needed !!
Then in my surreal world I was pottering round doing the hoovering in the passage when out of the corner of my eye something moved halfway down the hall . Weaving towards the hoover was a full size grass snake , not sure who was more suprised me or it . I shrieked and it shot behind the cat litter tray , Mr hobbled through to see what the fuss was , so i moved the tray and showed him . He then proceeded to go full snakes on a plane trying to get to it to beat it to death with his crutch ..bleedin men .  I pointed out it was harmless and scooped it up with the dustpan and brush , they dont have venom but a big one can bite so its a long sleeves and trousers job . Popped him on the grass pile in the garden while Mr wanted to play at photographing it , it played dead for a minute then shot off . I was busy wrangling a furry bundle of fury that wanted to play with it , bleedin cats are great .

Prep On

Todays blog is on the behalf of the Monster Raving Preppers Society . Shortly after the cat was crushed by a stack of Frey Bentos Pies Mr Bah Humbug made me stop buying extras each week so now i have to hide what i buy ...lol
The cupboards are bulging and i have my eye on the brick shed that the boys have used for gaming once the munchkin and daughter leave in August.
I think ive been very sensible i have amassed a mountain of cat food , now im concentrating on a few extra household products and once the shed is free , it may become bog roll storage ...lol .. i managed quite well for 6 months during the Great DWP famine of 2017 , im currently not far from that level of food storage .  Im not a Brexit panic person , we can panic once Boris is trying to organise his version of Brexit on behalf of the Tory Reich .
I do not think we will be without food , just without foodstuffs that would be our first choice and once the panic buyers and those who would like a big telly to curb their hunger pangs finish rioting things will settle down . There will be a lot of unemployment yet again , but dont worry the rich will get richer if nothing else.
Im second cropping the garden this year if the good weather holds till November all well and good , some will need a bit of cover , if we get a cold snap it can go in the compost heap its just the ends of packets for the sake of using them .
Trying to not take the freezer for granted , we do get a lot of power cuts being very rural , but theyre not for long . But it strikes me that its the parts we order to maintain infrastructure that may be a bit thin on the ground for a while. 
Just remember the Reich will only provide for their own and London , they really dont give a toss about anyone else .
I knew there was something i forgot....camping stove gas . ...Off to mumble in a corner and plan what else i need to smuggle in ....ha ha ha (weird cackle from the corner )

Fish

This is gorgeous , hes gone fishing with his brother and ive watched the sun rise and been for a walk with the cats mine and one of the neighbours as well  , just debating whether to pop to the fishing pit , slap on a load of washing or sneak out to the car boot before anyone gets up ..lol
Nothing much of any excitement happening here , plod along everyday chores , the horror of an early morning trip to Burgh Le Marsh car boot and then Ingoldmells market , the car boot was all market stall tat then we went to the market to look at more tat , came back with three melons a cauliflower and a case of soup...lol ..glad he doesnt want to go to either again .
Then he won  something he really doesnt need on ebay yet again , that turned into an all day safari because he couldnt drive with his legs playing up and his brother wasnt well either . So they had to rope me in as im the only one with a towing license and you guessed it hes bought a trailer ,  now his reasoning that he can get his bigger improved chariot into it doesnt ring true im sure theres some other purpose and hes acting very guilty .  Plus he actually asked what i want to do on my birthday , something he usually remembers about when the kids prompt him the night before , think he was miffed i said id got a Jumble Sale planned , but he can take me for a posh ice cream after .
So the washers finished , the car boot is calling and  theres loads today.  But  I will  just toddle to the local one , then come home i think and start layering cat litter and knitting patterns , then pot on a couple more tomato plants into the porch , must look for a cucumber plant today .
So thats my boring life at the moment , i quite like it this way .

Hot

Hardly been online this week i seem to be very busy doing not a lot at the moment , endless garden chores each day its starting to look a bit more respectable , its just a case of taming the stuff that has gone mental with all the rain and pruning stuff back that has finished flowering , big surprise that after 10 years my Orange Blossom has finally gone quite mental , it has never had any scent before but it is flowering its heart out and the scent in an evening is gorgeous . The big climbing roses have also flowered themselves to death one has finished so thats the next really big pruning chore ...arrrgggghhhh.
We have had useful son here for the weekend , so Mr BH has had someone to talk endless rusty crap to , as they make plans for the classic Volvo stuck on our drive for the last 9 months , surprisingly it always starts first time and he even moved it for me to cut the grass . Though worryingly he did say some old bloke in the village is on about giving him his 70s Volvo estate when he gives up driving , one car on the drive only sunshine , that was the rule for your dad and his projects ...lol .
Plus point of son being here,someone to get  the bigger heavier chariot in and out of the boot ,we went to Stickney on Saturday we were there for 6.30 and home by 10 , apart from vast quantities of veg , i spent a whole £2 on a tube of bath sealer and a little cross stitch it was a marathon walk round and im still a tad gimpy .
 Didnt stop me getting up early to wander round the far more interesting Metheringham car boot , I seem to find far more useful stuff there,  the lady with the knitting patterns was waiting for me so ive another huge box of patterns these are much more recent and its mainly booklets and magazines .
 Sine there are a few Aran from the 60s 70s but not the one you are after , ive looked through the files of doom and although i know the one you mean i dont have it , the childrens one isnt one ive seen anywhere .
On the ebay question, sadly one of the conditions of my Housing Benefit is that im not allowed to sell on ebay or anywhere else , its one of the conditions i had to sign for . helping oneself is much frowned upon these days ...there are ways however .
So its school run then in the garden  with the machete ...i may be back

Knitting By the Guillotine

If I hear "Audio Audio , one two three " much more i will kill him , Mr BH has a new toy to play with and hes driving me steadily mad either that or the current monsoon has me housebound today...lol
So what have i been up to ? endless pacing myself  gardening , i think if i could wield a machete the progress would be quicker , lush greeness can get a tad too lush . Their may be the remains of a delivery bloke in their somewhere nearer to the gate, but im getting there .
Once the leg of doom gives out for the day, I can still walk miles it just suddenly decides its had enough, Mr BH has helpfully suggested I may have Fibro , hes an expert on Dr Google , so I sent him to look up PHN this seems to have shut him up somewhat as its just one of those things, its just a no treatment annoyance you have to wait to pass , Shingles the gift that keeps on giving !! Still getting odd patches of blisters 6 months on .
  Im progressing on with a few craft jobs and reading lots of bad murders , I think ive read most of the good authors even the vintage ones , so now im trialing new authors, I had a pile of proof copies and Kindle freebies from Twitter competitions ,  theres a big bag waiting to go on Tescos charity book shelf that have been abandoned half read . I always wait for the 10p sales for book buying and of course the Jumble sales , theyve just about finished its all Summer Fairs now .
I actually managed to sneak out to the little car boot sale on Sunday , Mr had gone fishing with his brother , Munchkin wouldnt get out of his pjs . Did i buy a lot ?  Two Tupperware cereal boxes,  the only truly mouse proof storage for fishing bait and a couple of Nutella glasses being as the munchkin has broken all but one.
But then i lapsed in my promise to stop buying stuff i dont need ....big time
started flicking through a few knitting patterns then realised it was 90% toys , had a handful and the lady said 20p , my leg was fast giving out having to get down to look through them so i offered her £5 for them all and she snapped my hand off , she was telling me her sister died suddenly and this was just the first car boot load , i have purchased a full recycling box of knitting patterns dating from the War to  the present day  , there are literally hundreds and hundreds of them , that im sat sorting through , mostly from magazines , but also lots of the ones i collect . So if theres a particular pattern anyones after just ask ...But it does make you think...if you snuffed it what would they do with your craft stuff ....scary

Blow Job

Well that should up the visitor figures shouldnt it...lol
Though it seemed appropriate talking about Boris doesnt it ? In the bizarre political theater served up for our amusement of late , Boris is the lead horror character in the Conservative Party leadership battle , dear Christ , what have we become . Another polished turd from that academy of dreams Eton . Scarily uncouth and craftily intelligent hes rubbing his hands together in glee at the thought of a country at his mercy till the next General Election , just think of the money he and his mates will rob in that time period , it will be like the vikings on a pillage.  If Blair could sail away loaded and without ending his days in a cell just think of what damage this creature can do .
But is it all a front? is he just the wingman for the real horror candidate Rory the ex MI6 , honestly i wasnt a spook candidate , if he worked for that lot theres a fair bet hes got something on all of them and may well be playing the long game . Is this scary weasel the actual puppet master?
Meanwhile theres Saint Teresa lurking in the wings with her axe , not sure shes going to go quietly at all, you get the feeling theres one last blast left in the old lass .
We live in interesting times , its enough to give you galloping paranoia

Plodding

Ive not had my weird dreams for a while i am  kind of missing them , they were the psychedelic bonus of the menopause , best ive managed was Kate Bush in a mates tent at a scooter rally of late . Does this mean im officially an old hag , apart from the odd night flush it seems to have come and gone rather uneventfully more like endless petty annoyances than a major event .
So its now officially monsoon season , the strawberries are huge and tasteless this year , my beans are looking lush and green and ive given up on the weed situation , sod it the greenery can fight it out among themselves , cant even get to the bottom of the garden because a bush has taken over the path ..lol
 raspberries ,well the birds are enjoying them im sure i will get a load off the autumn ones for the freezer, so i dont mind sharing these ones . I dont need to save as much this year if its just us . Not many plums or apples on the trees but the pear is its usual mental self , in fact the little triple apple tree doesnt have an apple in sight , wont do it any harm to take the year off  and i can manage with just eaters this year .
Ive been looking into voluntary work of some type but there doesnt seem to be anything locally all would involve traveling, which i cant afford , plus i need a babysitter for Mr Bah Humbug . decisions decisions. 
If nothing else i may start to make a mountain of useful stuff for the charity shop , ive so much fabric and thread kicking about , seeking inspiration, anything but bags , i do think that bags have been done to death of late in environmental zeal . Though ive some ghastly 80s curtains that could go into foodbank shopping bags i suppose .
So lets face it im plodding through life at the moment , more like hobbling through life as my already motorbike damaged leg appears to have suffered permanent damage from the 3 months of shingles , the joys of aging you fall apart bit by bit

Retro

So yesterday in his sudden urge to go out loads i was dragged to Newark Showground yet again, this time for Retro Fest  , a tired naughty munchkin in tow and Useful son . Im so glad when he comes anywhere with us as the new buggy is far heavier than the old one and it will be the death of me , still no nearer to his lordship getting the lift fitted that has sat at home for over a year .ho hum
After the monsoon on Saturday the weather was glorious , tons of stalls for me and the munchkin to potter round and we did manage to lose the others for a while as MrBH was on his Grumpy in pain mode . Munchkin was amazed that the stalls were selling the tat ive collected for pennies down the years. It seems i am accidently trendy these days in the world of homewares . There were tons of clothing stalls and lots of folks in as the munchkin calls it, Fancy Dress. Mainly on an americana theme but also lots of Wartime people . I did quite like this one its more varied than other events , tons of vehicles for Mr and Son to drool and lust over , lots of bad live music .
They all looked rather worried when i decided to roam round the vintage caravan encampments , they are growing on me, Mr BH says theyre no use to him with his level of disability .
Thats right, but we have a towbar and i could have a little one just for me , so now hes got that horrified look on his face yet again...lol
