Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Hello Dave H, I hope you are well.
It really is a miserable day here today, grey skies, bitter cold winds, dangerous icy roads, and the missus snoring away on the sofa having her afternoon nap.
Norman Wisdom was on the TV in a film singing a song I never heard before and never want to hear again, I like Norman but when he sings he seems to have had an elocution booster injection, for an ordinary fella every single word is perfect, I believe he wrote all his own songs too, but a few lines in this one went
“If you say you’ll be mine
I’ll take in the sign
And pull down the blind”
It sort of begs the question of what he was showing in the window doesn’t it?
Don’t mind me I’m just bored stiff.
Have you noticed on these Isles over the past ten years that Spring is later and later arriving? At the other end of the calendar the Winters are not as bad as they used to be, maybe in a few years they will have to adjust the arrival times of the seasons accordingly or folks will be saying “That was a really harsh Spring we had, can’t wait till next Winter” We'll be all mixed up, wonder how the poor plants feel, the climate is not changing, just the man made dates of the seasons arrival times.
Spitty hasn’t been around for a while, I suspect he’s laid up with that flu thing he was on about, get well soon old bean and I hope everything is alright at Spittingtdale Manor.
If a group of soldiers are called a Platoon, are a group of Spitfire pilots called a Spittoon? Just askin'
