There I Was...

[gness]

tootling along the motorway with a giant bugs bunny on the passenger seat. He wears my wedding hat to stop it getting squashed and he doesn't comment on my speed.
I had booked three rooms for some of the family for a wedding....we were late booking accommodation....my invite was lost in the post...they said..hmmm.....so we weren't expecting much for £70+ per night.
The daughter phoned...she had arrived and it wasn't the best of places....very dirty and the most miserable of hosts....but it would do for two nights.
She'd had to ask them to clean the bathroom which had an unflushed toilet with solid evidence of a past occupant.
They did so with very bad grace and told her the dust everywhere was only fluff.
An attempt at making a cuppa revealed still dirty teacups so she went to ask, nicely...for a clean cup...she really is a polite girl....takes after the Dad..☺
The woman...while absentmindedly scraping grime off the cup gave a lecture on how spotless her home was....cue....
Basil Fawlty....He hit the roof...never had he been so insulted in his own pristine home....they never locked doors so a passer by must have used the toilet....it wasn't his fault....and he threw her out!

Hello, Mum....I've been thrown out of the guesthouse!
And me?....I asked......They've banned you....I'm so sorry....

I must admit it was funny....rocking up at the wedding...late in the evening....homeless and with all the other places long booked by my over large family.

I found the daughter outside a pub....looking a bit shocked....but a Guinness for me....and a drink for the lass who rarely drinks....combined with my sense of humour soon had us giggling....but still homeless for two days....☺

Did you have a good time, otherwise? Is the church still standing and are the priests unharmed?

[tonyav]

Basil had better watch out though, Psybbo !.

Hi, Psyb.....the marrying in lot were from Belfast.....do people from Belfast ever stop laughing at the plight of a Mayo/Kerry woman out on the street...

It was great fun....wonderful story telling from both sides and yes...the church and the priest are still with us....

Beautiful church....xx

[tonyav]

gness, do you have a favorite song that you sing in your sleep.

[Psybbo]

You'll be glad to know mrs_o was very sympathetic.................

[gness]

The first time I sleep sang was sitting bolt upright and singing the whole of Zip-a-Dee-Do-Dah.....so I have a soft spot for that.....MrG laughed for ages...☺

[gness]

Yes.....she was....we shall have words....☺

[tonyav]

Wonder why that one, gness, had you been watching song of the south earlier.

Has always, Psybbo.

[Psybbo]

Did you have a good time too, Tony?

[Tilly2]

You still haven't answered my question about the bedding.

[tonyav]

Yes thanks Psybbo, we had a great time.

[gness]

Sorry, Tilly.....she wasn't allowed near the bed in case she dirtied it....the loo and the teapot are usually the first ports of call after a long journey...and that's where her journey ended.....☺
