Trixie XXX

Hi Trixie, it is my Grand daughter born last Monday Alexandria Jeannine...isn't she beautiful.

News was in the babies expected post..there were three new ones recently I believe!!

How is your smashing little Alfie, I have not heard so much from you lately and I really miss your uplifting stories.

XX Jeannine

AHA! A new little person with a beautiful name  ;D

Congratulations to you & your family Jeannine! I'll be sending a litte something her way!

My smashing little Alfie is still smashing  :) The latest thing he smashed was a pane in grandad's greenhouse. Totally accidentally of course - he was throwing a stick for his dog Ben  ;D

oops, well he is a lad and lads have sticks and dogs bless im.

You are a sweetie you know, thankyou, and where have you been lately, I was beginning to think we scared you off saying we were all coming for Christmas!!

I miss your stories and we had some good ones going
there for a bit. I think we should bring a few to the top for the newbies !!

Certainly your Christmas story, perhaps my nick names for lottie owners and the priceless one about the farm that sounded like the duelling banjos one.

I am laughing just thinking about them

and where is the  Claptrap and Sidekick one, that was smashing.

I am off to look .

Hi again Jeannine  ;D

I haven't been anywhere especially special - just curled up in my bear's lair waiting for Spring! Or, as we say in Sheffield, 'chuffin' abaht doin' nowt'

I get really grumpy over winter and just sit staring at cobwebs in the house & doing nothing about anything whatsover. And then when there's the slightest bit of warmth & I read on the back of a seed-packet 'sow in February' I'm out barging my way through queues at garden centres shouting 'GET OUT OF MY WAY - I NEED SEED POTATOES - I'M PAYING CASH!'  ;D

I don't do anything about the cobwebs in the house though. They're spider's homes and I respect their tenancy agreements..

And as for being scared away by everyone coming here for Christmas .. well honestly! Considering the guest list for last year I'd welcome the entire membership of A4A with open arms!

That is what I thought, I too am just venturing out , I am a bit slow to get motivated this year. I need to read more of your posts gal!!

I've got several stories from the allotment these past few days if you're interested!

TODAY:

Lorry Paddy Mick arrived with another truck-load of rubbish that he deemed useful for the allotmenteer:

LPM: 'Well oil be damned if it isn't our Finola wiv a brand noiw varn! How are ya doing my darlhink? Are ye now officially a knocker then?'

TRANSLATION: Good afternoon Fiona. I haven't seen you round these particular parts in quite a while. Have you recently purchased a Ford P100 flatback van perchance? I trust you are in good health. Do you use this newly acquired vehicle for jaunting round the locale & knocking on doors of the local gentry to purchase pieces of fine art & antiquities for a fair price?

ME: 'Yes'

THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY:

My mobile phone rang with an 'International' code on the screen ...

ME: 'Hello???'

INTERNATIONAL CALLER: 'Fioooonaaar!! How are yooooooooooo?'

ME: 'Fine thanks .. and I'm speaking to ....?'

INTERNATIONAL CALLER: 'It's meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ... Ahmed! In Pakistan! Ghujarat! How are youuuuuuuuuu? How are the chickens?'

ME: 'The chickens are fine! What's the weather like? Isn't this call costing you a fortune?'

AHMED: 'Pardon? How are the chickens? Call me back! It's cold here'

ME: 'Cold in Pakistan? Don't kid me on man ... & bring me back a present! Are you pissed?'

AHMED: 'How are the chickens?'

ME: 'The chickens are fine!'

ETC ETC. And that was just the last 2 days  ::) Don't get me started on Dario 'fixing' the apple tree & the bloke who's building pigeon sheds.

  ;)

Yes I will but please will you post it and this one in the Claptrap post, they will get lost here...please

XX Jeannine
