A fair old journey, Gibel.  AND enjoy your sleep!

Yes, well done from me too.

Well Agnes was a damp squib!
I am glad though, there could have been serious damage .
My son’s little house needs the ridge tiles pointing , so that might have been urgent rather than needing to be done in the foreseeable future.
A house at the end if the road is being gutted, roofers working there now, I suggested my son approach the workmen of the firm as their equipment is here, well a few yards distance, it is not a big job and surely cheaper to do it whilst the scaffolding us very close by. It might not need scaffolding ,just ladders. But he doesn’t like being told what to do!
So blow him!
He had to go to head office ,is not back yet but later today , so a slow cooker
meal that can run over by quite a long time ,he never wants to eat after a really long drive.
Raining today ,but mild, did not get to church, the buses are all up the dip, some roadworks etc, I did not feel like walking for half an hour in the rain .
Sitting damp ,getting warm and then waiting ages for a bus home.
People are kind and offer lifts but it is not always possible for them to do that and I never ask.

A Catherine Cookson or Rugby on T,V. Mmmmm, drama or legs.
Just remembered my O.H.
He had to give up football when we married as any injury sustained which in those far off days meant time off work would mean no pay!
He sat looking at his thighs,( so was I,)  “ My football muscles are going!”
Aaaaw, he had given up the chance of a professional career, in case an injury shortened his career, so was just an amateur then that had to go.
He was very unselfish, as was his brother who also gave up the chance of aprofessional career.
Mind you, they were as good as they were because they each knew where the  other  would be on the pitch ,playing without each other might have been a different story .

Changed my kitchen colours, it is black and white ,house renovators’ choice not mine ,it is sleek but shows every hand mark ,I had red to brighten it up but a gift if S,S. storage stuff is really nice and tidier somehow, so lots of red stuff to dispose of to Age Concern ,I like their shop, very friendly staff.
Several boxes, so there will be tablecloths ,curtains, storage jars ,brushes, bowls, hand towels, etc .
I forget ,Age U.K ?

Well ,must get on.
Look after yourself folks, thanks for the news.
Viktoria.

Thank you for your newsy message today Viktoria,  you cram so much in.

Yes a good idea for your son to approach the builders along the road, might save him a lot of money.

Had a nice couple of days with rain overnight, today mild  but not much sun at all.

Went to church this morning to discover the person I sat next  to on Thursday has Covid, I had my covid jab yesterday so if I feel unwell I won't  know if I have caught it or due to the jab,  not sure what to do but a friend has cancelled me off a day out tomorrow.

Hardly believe it is October , hope we have reasonable weather for a few days,  yes Agnes seems to have been a damp squib, thankfully.

I like Catherine Cookson, must have read most of her books

Enjoy the rest of the weekend folks

It will be Gremlins or Squander-bugs TY.!
I was really scared of the latter,hairy little beasties with sharp teeth and covered in swastikas!!!
They were in cartoons in newspapers during the war.
I read anything printed ,was obsessed with reading matter.
Well I had cut my teeth,so to speak - on The Methodist Hymn Book !

Gremlins were real “ bugbears” for Air Crew.
Unexplainable failures in planes etc.

Guess what —-?I am eligible for my Spring Covid Jab!
‘ ood a thowt it!

I Already arranged it myself, for this month flu apart,must book that.
Did not want the two together,.
Not had my Spring one yet ——

Doctors on strike ,on the news.
Conservative Party at The Mudkand Hitel - even The Midland Hotel!- here in Manchester , so they must know The North exists.
( I must get my bent arthritic forefinger straightened !)

Just watching “Find it fix it flog it” ,they have found a wool winding gadget,
said it was called a weasel,it made a popping noise when used ,hence ‘ “ Pop goes the weasel”.
However another explanation is a “weasel”  was also part of another trade,hat making if memory serves me correctly ,in hard times it would be pawned, ie at The Pop Shop ,

Half a pound I of two penny rice
Half a pound of treacle,
That’s the way the money goes -
Pop goes the weasel.

However did I stray down that obscure lane!

A disordered mind!

Well my mind is coming round to a blitz - oooh there I go again—- in the utility room,aka the junk room!
Son keeps raiding my stuff, untidily !

Well must get on but a cuppa first ——- ::)it is not that I am avoiding much needed work you understand ,I have to drink plenty so with diuretic tablets but instructions to drink plenty is it any winder I am easily confused!

Viktoria.
