I've had a lazy day really, so I had no hesitation, when Dave phoned, in suggesting that we all meet at the Spit. I took 2 very hyper children to the pub, they wouldn't let us talk sensible anoraky stuff, it was hard work.
Dave gave me a lift home, and my kids cycled back on Ziggy. Mr Potts has text me (i do miss him) Pat the tesco bus driver text, saying his backs agony. I do miss him a bit, and a distant fb, I know/knew (it's so immature how we became fb, I can't say :D) was in touch to say he wasn't coming to Sheffield after all. :( So I aint got any reasons to be giddy happy. But I think I'm getting too old for this 'falling in love' malarky and I'm just going to bed on my own, after a quietish night in the pub, having nice food. How farty do I sound? Ey I'll be talking about cocoa, and tartan slippers next.
If anyone wants to get in touch with me about Hillsborough it's easier to contact me on cardouglas10@hotmail.com
It was a handy break and rest from driving on the way back from seeing my kids, given the current very unsatisfactory regime, and at least I had a sensible adult conversation for the first time that day - when I got to Newcastle (overnight stop with old mate) I sat down and proceeded to fall asleep mid sentence - so I really needed to put my head down.
ReplyDeleteFinn was a bit of a worry when he was outside riding his scooter around the car park etc with the delivery truck dropping stuff at the pub, just to be sure where he was. I can see that hyper kids can be a handful, and was tempted to test my RSM 'voice' on them.
Fortunately the times and routes I used seem to avoid the worst pf the Bank holiday traffic (or was there any worst? - maybe no one can afford to go away?)
Do limit your largesse of offering to do things as it can be a smart move to get a system that keeps you informed whilst someone else fields the routine phone calls (these people are known as assistants - when they are paid and gullibles - when they volunteer!)
Off to plant a couple of rhubarb tubers and thinking about whare I can get white/redcurrant plants and a bit of honeytsuckle/bindeweed to grow up a wall - to green it and attract birds (avian ones)
PS What's wrong with falling in lust? I'll need to remember some of my old co-DJ's (from our 1970's discos) opening lines with "Remember what your mother told you about a certain type of man.....well I'm one of them" was one of the more subtle ones.
Oooooooooh where can I begin, when untangling this comment :)
ReplyDeleteI'm usually ok, to spare an hour or so, if I'm at home, so thats no prob. And we have always met out, not because I'm ashamed of my house, or don't like taking men back or owt? Just because I'm a crap cook, and would rather be talking. Not that we managed to do much!!
Was Finn really riding about the car park? because we kinda have a rule, he can go on the grass, and play area behind the pub. Out of that gate, (where the lorry was) and up the ramp into the pub, with no worries. He's a wise kid, but I aint happy about him going round the car park. He might not have responded too well to you shouting, as he's only met you the once before.
Thanks for listening to my insanities and over enthusiasm for stuff. But if they can use me (ooooo er)they can do so, as they wish. Because we'll be lucky if we get a phone call a day, at the mo. And Parks and Countryside, have to agree to it as well as the CTC. So?
I love rhubarb, ey I remember being young, and my Mum used to gi me a stick of rhubarb and a cup of sugar. As a tasty treat.
As well as attracting the birds, it will smell beautifull.
Absolutely nowt wrong with falling in lust, I've done it many times. But I've celebrated my new found freedom. I want more now, I want the real thing.
Maybe you, should change what your looking for, on POF and add in friendship/dating ;)
