Not if he ain't got to go out he ain't, that's why I didn't have my trousers on when Ciders popped round, they were drenched!

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Oh, I say.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

there's a lot of rapping going on around here today!

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

There sure is a whole lot of wrapping going on here, washing wrapping around me face, the wind is doing 110 K at the moment and all the washing from next door is blowing into my garden, they are all working girls living there and two pairs of knickers and a black bra slapped me straight in the face when I went out to put stuff into the bin, I put them in a plastic bag and asked Phyllis to give them back to the girls when they come in from work, I certainly not going to knock at their door and ask them if they have lost their knickers recently.

I’ve been watching old Alfred Hitchcock Presents TV programs on utube, great little tales of the unexpected, some here are old enough to remember when they first went out, there was the pencil drawn profile of himself then the music which went something like this “de dum de deele de dum de dum…” finally followed by “Good Evening”
He was talking about condensed foods, last night in the introduction, you know, the just add water craze that dominated fast foods in the late 50’s. then came the big one, the “TV dinner” that had a good innings, but just as video killed the radio star, the pizza pie killed the video dinner.
Come to think of it I never had a TV dinner, if you missed dinner in our house back then it was reheated over and over and shoved up to your face until you finally ate it, you wouldn’t get anything else if you didn’t eat it, how my dear old mother managed a housefull of kids and a husband in hospital with TB I’ll never know, God bless her, she managed to keep the five of us together all through our childhood years.
Oh God I still remember that horrible skin that formed on potatoes from reheating them on a plate atop a boiling pot of water covered with the lid.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Thanks for your help! I've found my pyjamas. I was wearing them.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Glad you found them Ciderman.
I don’t know how you wear pyjamas, I’ve always slept in me underpants and nothing else, even as a kid I couldn’t stand them on me in bed.

All this in and out of Europe thing is getting everyone on edge, so confusing.
Take my good woman, when we first changed over from ounces, pounds and stones to Kilos she was bamboozled, she would normally buy Kerry Pinks or King Edward potatoes (Imagine being called after a potato, I’m sure king eddy got a slagging over that in his day), when she got to the greengrocer she asked him for half a stone of King Edwards, he said that he only does Kilos now. “Alright then, give us half a stone of Kilos, I just hope they’re as floury as the King Edwards”

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Ciders, I need your help. I think I've killed a Thread!!

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

No threads in my pyjamas Spitty. That's assuming I have pyjamas of course. Like Jem I am devoid of pyjamas in the normally accepted style. Mine are shorts. I only wear proper pyjamas when I visit the Queen.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

I have no PJ's, just a Pseudo Silk Kimono.
