Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Have you ever had one of those days?You get up in the morning as usual, yet it is as if you are doomed.
The heating plays up, the bath overflows, I am late taking my boy to college.
I need to write a shopping list, the phone rings, I lose my train of thought.
I eventually get to the car park and have no change!!!
I start shopping, and I realize I have left my list at home by the phone.
I buy something for the evening meal, forgetting that they won't deliver until 7-9PM!!!
It has been one of those days!!!!!

Yes I know what you mean Sweetie, I think we get days like that to test how we can take all the shit that life can throw at us when it’s in a mischievous mood.
The wife and daughter were out today doing a bit of shopping, funny thing, when she goes out the phone never stops ringing with people wanting to talk to her, usually other women who love talking, I never answer it, some of them auld biddies would keep you yappin all day about nothing.
Then the hall door bell starts ringing with people collecting for this and that, and the odd politician telling you how honest and truthful he’s going to be if you remember him in the election, God they really do have brass necks.
Miserable old day here, days like that always remind me of being bored to death on Winter Sunday afternoons back in the 50's.
It’s pelting rain in old Dublin Town
As the Dog sits close to the fire
I’m on my own, no one’s around
While I listen to the Luton Girls Choir.
Hark, is that a rap on the door?
I wonder who it could be
Oliver Twist I reckon, looking for more
So I donate him one and three.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
All this returning and coming and going got me thinking deeply so I posed a question to the chairman of our newly formed strange phenomena association, we welcome all theories from all members and give each theory exclusive covering at each meeting. Formed last year it’s called the “New Universe Travellers Society” or N.U.T.S for short.My question was “Do we still use the same water that was on the Earth since the World was created?”
Well we happened to be in a pub in Wexford at the time of the meeting (we always meet in pubs, far more relaxing atmosphere)
After a few pints, the group of us were discussing this same recycled water thing, when one of our company decided to try the landlords home brewed ale that was on special offer, he ordered a pint of it, he took one sip of the ale and spat it out “”My God! that’s p..s!” says he “Ah yes, but who’s?, that is the big question” says the chairman.

Brilliant JemI was very interested why the small castle at Christchurch had this piece, that jutted out over the river below.
I was fortunate to meet the local historian, that explained that it was the toilet.
Now I know that way back most people living there drank alcohol.
I also know the nearest fresh water was at a place called Purewell.
This is a true story.
