Leisurely Scribbles (part 5) (Part 1)

Answers, we think we are entitled to them, but, do we really want or need them.

peaceful meditation? - I’ve got bags of it!

Oh Gummy at least you have Bourbon. X
I am just putting plans together for Christmas. Glad to be home, I don’t think we are flitting off anywhere???
I suppose the round of visitors starts soon.

I found more bears in Harrod’s.
I will post them on my London thread.
Good Night Possums. X

London. Harrods, what about Austerity? is that applicable to Austria???

Austerity what is that?:lol:
Morning has broken.

It is similar to when a poor person gets a cold, and cannot afford linctus, ultimately they unnecessarily lose their voice, that is Hoarse-sterity.

So glad you explained Spitty.:lol:

Oh the day is getting nearer, whatever shall I do?
I have so much to do still, it’s alright for guys like you
I have to do the shopping, and cooking, yes I do
I rush around like Tinkerbell, I need to clean the loo
I really try to delegate and get my guys involved
But they are turning deaf ears, they will not be controlled
A woman’s work is never done, I guess that must be true
I wonder if you have easy lives, I haven’t got a clue:lol:

I don’t think we do Spitty, there’s a lot of truth in that saying ‘Ignorance is bliss’ what you don’t know about you don’t worry about do you?:slight_smile:
It seems to me the more answers we get the more destructive and threatening we become, the nuclear threat for example, and big powerful men saying “I gotta bigger button that you have” and we all thought John Wayne was dead, Christ what hope is there for us with public statements like that from a grown man, God help us is all I can say. :frowning:

I love your poem Sweetie, very clever.

Yes a woman’s work is never done they say.

The wife is as busy as a bee this year, when she’s like this it’s best to keep your distance, naturally I volunteer to help but she won’t trust me in the kitchen so I just hang around like a decoration knowing she’ll think of something for me to do, and I was right, she did. (as using initials seems to be the in thing I may as well join in, you can figure them out for yourselves IYI.
She began to nag about the leaking gutter, It was a bit OTT so with a SA I’m still recovering from, I donned my MLC and got out the EL to do the job, I knew it was not good for my BP but where would I get a GHP at this time of year.
Luckily I had a roll of PAT in the shed so it didn’t take long to fix it. One of my SIL’s called while I was on the EL, she plonked her BFA on the sofa and started drinking from the bottle of PLJ she always carries in her SB, gives her EE she says. WAD it was for me.

Glad to hear you have your booze and see gars sorted out Gummy, that should keep you happy and mellow over the holidays…hopefully.;-):smiley:

We couldn’t afford ‘Boys Own’ at that time, there was tuppence extra tax on it, a lot of tax on a 6d comic one would think, but then they always believed in getting us used to big taxes from an early age over here ;-), we usually bought tax free second hand comics, Dell was the most popular read with us kids.
Actually that’s where I first came across the amazing adventures of “Jungle Jim’, an explorer in Africa in the 1950’s.
Jim was faced with a tricky problem in the Jungles of deepest Africa, as he slashed his way merrily through the branches and vines, grabbing snakes be the scruff of the neck and choking them in mid air then casting them aside like cigarette butts, he suddenly came upon a huge tree ahead of him, at each side of the tree stood a snarling Tiger ready to pounce, Jungle Jim had only one bullet left in his revolver and a small hand knife, the machete was useless as the beasts would tear him to shreds before it could do them any real harm.
He had to do some serious thinking fast, so he took the knife and flung it at the centre of the tree, then he aimed his only bullet at the knife’s blade, the bullet split in two and killed the two Tigers.
What a man!, and he never once wore a camouflage frock in all his adventures, real men didn’t wear frocks back then.;-):smiley:

Its a good job centered folks no longer shoot Tigers, its much better to negotiate with them.

Anyway, respect to the folks who went to the Jungle, all those years ago, pre toilet tissue, what the heck would you do back then, if you got a “Rumble in the Jungle”.:lol:

there seems to be a lot of competition around the U bends? I’ve heard of gettin the bends whilst floating upwards - but how do ya get the bends when doin a yahoo - eeee!

I forgot to say Goodnight Possums. X
Gummy get your PMs open!
I want to send you virtual Christmas card. X

Good Morning all it’s a brand new day
Scribbles do come and drink and play
The festive season is all around
Rejoice and keep us scribbling bound
I have more time to scribble now
I try my best to amuse and wow
So don’t keep hiding and running away
Before you blink it will be Christmas day:-)
