Events of your day that put a smile on your face

You must be rich,i dont possess a bath.

seen a old woman in the woods again on a mobility scooter with a very little dog she always says hello and always has the biggest smile on her face

Who wants to sign up for a clinical trial?

Pam Ayres, now 73 years old penned her latest poem ~ to coronavirus

I'm normally a social girl
I love to meet my mates
But lately with the virus here
We can't go out the gates
You see, we are the 'oldies' now
We need to stay inside
If they haven't seen us for a while
They'll think we've upped and died
They'll never know the things we did
Before we got this old
There wasn't any Facebook
So not everything was told
We may seem sweet old ladies
Who would never be uncouth
But we grew up in the 60s -
If you only knew the truth!
There was sex and drugs and rock 'n roll
The pill and miniskirts
We smoked, we drank, we partied
And were quite outrageous flirts
Then we settled down, got married
And turned into someone's mum,
Somebody's wife, then nana,
Who on earth did we become?
We didn't mind the change of pace
Because our lives were full
But to bury us before we're dead
Is like a red rag to a bull!
So here you find me stuck inside
For four weeks, maybe more
I finally found myself again
Then I had to close the door!
It didn’t really bother me
I'd while away the hour
I'd bake for all the family
But I've got no flaming flour!
Now Netflix is just wonderful
I like a gutsy thriller
I'm swooning over Idris
Or some random sexy killer
At least I've got a stash of booze
For when I'm being idle
There's wine and whiskey, even gin
If I'm feeling suicidal!
So let's all drink to lockdown
To recovery and health
And hope this awful virus
Doesn't decimate our wealth
We'll all get through the crisis
And be back to join our mates
Just hoping I'm not far too wide
To fit through the flaming gates!

I recieved an email from my client who is in the uk saying that with consideration to the covid restrictions here in France,that I am welcome to park up in the garden for as long as I want after I have finished the job and use the house for anything I need or even stay in the house if I want !! How lovely is that :-)

I have got another house to point that I will start on in a week or so,but shall be doing only the first section which is probably about two weeks work,then start hitting out the rest probably late spring,so his offer has fallen beautifully as I can within the covid rules go to work and come back so I will use this as my main base whilst I am at that job then see what the restrictions look like afterwards.

This means that I have a loo,wifi and the big tele for the autumn rugby matches as well as use of the fridge and freezer too meaning I can stock up on food and not need to go out for a few weeks apart from work.

Needless to say that I do not accept offers like that without giving something back so have insisted that I will put in a few days in his garden in return and stain all the oak beams for him as well as a few other little jobs in return.

A kindness for a kindness works within the laws of karma I think and that way he gets to save a few quid and some time by what I do for him.

He does not want anything,which shows what a lovely couple I am working for but no way would I accept that for free as even though it is a kind and genuine offer I would feel a right scrounger if I did not return his lovely gesture.
That way we will both do well out of the deal and fifty fifty in my mind is important in any relationship.

Definately a weight off my mind as was not sure what I was going to do next as county to county travel is srictly forbidden.

Yet again karma delivers and my charmed life continues,happy as the proverbial pig :-)

Just a good thing you deserve itinerantchild, that's all!

Yay!made it,lovely whitby,lovely drive up,great apartment..so need this break..happy happy😊
