Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
"Today I did call into the hardware store and my heart did miss a beat or two - there she was - good morning Mr Yates I heard her call it and that was the clue. she introduced me to the new shop assistant - a filly of a thing and then said - "come into my private office Mr Yates" - Oh my God heart pounding and me staggering about I was about to have Miss Bottom to myself!
she said " d'ya mind if I carry on working whilst we catch ? " - well what could I say I may never get the opportunity again. she did ask me was I after anything in particular today? oh my god more heart pounding and I replied " well I've come looking for a long hard screw!" OMG - cool as a cucumber she replied " well if ya find one of those around here you'll be lucky" - anyway we chattered about this and that - she offered me a tray that I rather fancied - heavily discounted as as special customer and that was it - at a certain magical signal we had to part swearing to do it together and next time with coffee - Oh mad fool that I am!!
You have no doubt heard of Boxcar Willie, we’ll have to call you Boxset Gummy.
I have to admit I’m a fan of Midsomer Murders, especially the ones with John Nettles, ya can’t beat a good who done it.
Well thank you kindly for the bit of news about the girl from the hardware store, we are genuinely concerned about your progress there Gummy old chummy. Was that a milk tray on special offer? I used to give my woman milk tray, worked wonders back then, or was that the Double Diamond?
My son was here for dinner today, he's back in Dublin from Italy for a few weeks to work on a contract job, the moneys good so he's taking advantage of the six weeks work.
We were talking about the water crisis over here because of the heat wave, he said he had to laugh when he was in Italy and he looked at the Irish news, 27c was nothing to them he said, they often go without rain over there for months and yet there is never any water problems, how come this is an Island and every time we get a decent bit of weather they start moaning about the water, beats me, bad management maybe?
