The things you mishear...

... I was getting ready for work this morning at some ungodly hour (6 a.m.) - heard the local news headlines in the background whilst I was flossing. "Local nurse from west yorkshire hospital charged with the murder of 4 ugly women".

I thought, that's a bit much really. Who is he to decide who's ugly or not? Isn't murder a bit harsh? Couldn't he have just suggested a Gok Wan makeover or something?

Then I realised it actually said ....charged with the murder of 4 elderly women. Phew! Still bad though. :-(

[Bbbananas]

Obviously not that funny then ? :-(

[rinkins]

Yes its funny! I'm just glad you heard it wrong! Caffeine obviously hadn't kicked in then? You really shouldn't get up so early!

[Bbbananas]

no caffeine had passed my lips at that stage. I was still rubbing the sleep from my eyes & groaning with my stiff post-gardening joints (I always have a joint after gardening...)

[rinkins]

And stiff ones at that?! You obviously worked very hard!

[rinkins]

OH sorry I've just re-read - you meant lamb or beef! Unless you had some pork?!

[Bbbananas]

Planting roses - ouch!
Weeding - boring.
Pruning - satisfying.
Planting sweet peas - tedious.
Break for refreshments - often & welcome.
Pressure washing garden furniture & pathways - great fun.
End result: Knackered, wet and aching.
Treatment: A well deserved nice big stiff one.

Err, didn't mean lamb, beef or pork actually! Though I prefer a nice joint of forerib of beef anytime over a bit of pork. Especially after gardening when I ache all over :-)

See you do put yourself in the firing line! salla

Stiff one! LOL

salla...rang my cruise mate this morning and when I asked how she was she replied.........dirty...sweaty...and soaking. When I asked if she had a man round it was....'NO I'm bloody pressure washing the patio'. Is this something one does when the sun comes out 'cos frankly I was disappointed.

[Bbbananas]

...the girl can't help it ;-)

[Bbbananas]

I love a bit of pressure washing - very satisfying and you can see the progress & improvement right in front of your eyes.

Craft - I'm a tad miffed with you girl. I noticed this morning you referred to me on another thread as a Mary Magdelene trollop.... I bet you thought I wouldn't see that?!!

[craft1948]

oh yes I did salla......I think trollope is a lovely word....it's like naughty but nice...so there!

[Bbbananas]

Actually craft - I'm not offended by trollop - I think it's a great work and it conjures up images of a buxom wench with tendrils of hair curling down into the cleavage, rosy cheeks.... think Charles Dickens but without the poverty, grime & murder.
