IV'E NEVER STOPPED AGAIN THIS WEEK TO TAKE A BREAK AT ALL.
IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW I TRY I FIND THEM LARGE AND SMALL.
YES JOBS GALORE I'M AT IT FRIENDS FROM DAYBREAK UNTIL NIGHT.
JUST LIKE THE TITLE OF THE HYMN I'M "FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT".
IV'E FOUGHT WITH SCREWDRIVERS FOUGHT WITH SAWS FOUGHT WITH HAMMER AND NAILS.
OH DEAR COULD I TELL YOU A THOUSAND DO- IT- YOURSELF TALES.
JUST LIKE WHAT MY PROFILE SAYS THAT I'M A JACK OF ALL THE TRADES.
MASTER OF NONE BUT TRYING UNTIL MY ENERGY FAILS.
YESTERDAY WAS JOINERY DAY AND WHAT A JOB THAT WAS.
I HAD TO TAKE SOME PLINTHS OFF THE BASE UNITS JUST BECAUSE.
I NEEDED TO GET UNDERNEATH THEM TO DO THE JOB JUST RIGHT.
GOOD GRIEF I HAD TO TURN THAT SCREWDRIVER WITH ALL OF MY MIGHT.
WHEN I GOT UNDERNEATH THEM I GOT A REAL SUPRIZE .
I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I WAS SEEING RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES.
WHEN THE BUILDERS BUILT THESE HOUSES THE LAZY DEVILS YOU SEE.
HAD SWEPT ABOUT JUST EVERYTHING UNDERNEATH THEM DEARY ME.
MELAMINE AND NUTS AND BOLTS SAWDUST EVERYWHERE.
PIECES OF COPPERWORK SCREWS AND NAILS A RIGHT MESS UNDER THERE.
THEY MUST HAVE THOUGHT OH! BLOW IT LETS HIDE IT ALL AWAY.
UNDER THE UNITS AND WE WON'T NEED TO SWEEP UP AT THE END OF THE DAY.
LITTLE DID THEY KNOW ONE DAY LAUGHING KATH WOULD COME ALONG .
PUTTING HER OWN CLEAN TOUCH TO THE PLACE NEVER THINGING SHE'D FALL UPON.
DEBRI OF EVERY SHAPE AND SIZE ENOUGH SAWDUST TO FILL A BARN.
THANK GOODNESS KNOWONE HAD DROPPED A MATCH OR THEY WOULD HAVE COME TO SOME HARM.
THE PLACE WOULD HAVE GONE UP LIKE AN INFERNO MORE SHAVINGS WERE SCATTERED ABOUT.
THAN IN THE FURNITURE MANUFACTURES I BAGGED IT AND THREW IT ALL OUT.
IT ALMOST FILLED MY WHEELY BIN IT'S A GOOD JOB IT'S EMPTYING DAY.
STILL IT'S ALL CLEANED UP NOW BUT ON THE FLOOR I HAD TO LAY.
TO SWEEP IT ALL UP WITH THE DUSTPAN AND SHOVEL I WAS TWISTING THIS WAY AND THAT.
CRAWLING ABOUT LIKE A BABY ON ALL FOURS I FELT LIKE A SCROUNGING RAT.
SAWDUST WAS STUCK TO MY TROUSERS SAWDUST WAS STUCK TO MY HAIR.
AND WHEN I GOT IN THE BATH AT NIGHT YES THERE WAS EVEN SOME SAWDUST THERE. HE-HE.
CALL THEMSELVES GOOD WORKMEN FANCY LEAVING THAT LOT ABOUT.
WHOEVER IT WAS I CAN ONLY SAY I'D LOVE TO DEAL WITH THAT LOUT. HE-HE
LEAVING ME TO SHOVEL ALL HIS S---- HOW DARE HE YES OLD MOTHERHEN.
STILL NOW IT'S ALL GONE AND WASHED AND CLEAN WHERE YOU CARN'T SEE IN MY LITTLE DEN. HE-HE.
THEN I TOOK TIME OUT TO CUT THE BACK LAWN AND SPRUCE UP THAT A LITTLEBIT.
READY FOR WHEN THE SUN SHINES AND I CAN REST AND SIT.
HAVING A NICE WELL EARNED COFFEE WATCHING THE WORLD GO BYE.
WELL THE RATE I AM WORKING AT LEAST I AM GIVING IT A TRY.
IV'E WORKED NONE STOP NOW FOR FOUR WEEKS AND I AM SLOWLY WINNING I THINK.
YEHHHH !! I FORGOT I GET MY SETTEE TOMORROW SO INTO THAT I WILL SINK.
HE-HE.
FEET UP MAYBE FOR HALF AN HOUR A NICE MAGAZINE ON MY LAP.
IN THE EVENING WITH A CUP OF HOT HORLICKS WITH BRANDY IN FOR MY NIGHTCAP.
HE-HE.
THEN THURSDAY I THINK WILL BE SEWING DAY AGAIN I NEED TO MAKE CUSHIONS FOUR.
IV'E NOT DECIDED WHAT COLOURS YET BE THEM SILK SATIN COTTON OR VELOUR.
OH WHEN WILL IT ALL BE FINISHED NEVER MIND ROME WERN'T BUILT IN A DAY.
OH! AND I FORGOT TO TELL YOU I GOT A GIFT CAME MY WAY.
WHEN THE ROOSTER CALLED TO DO MY POLES HE BROUGHT ME A NICE SUPRIZE.
THERE IN THE GARDEN A BRAND NEW MOWER HE PRODUCED BEFORE MY EYES.
I HAD MENTIONED MY DAUGHTER LAST CUT THE GRASS AND I MUST BUY ONE FOR MYSELF.
SO HE WENT ALONG TO ARGOS AND BROUGHT ME ONE HIMSELF.
HE'S ONE OF THE BEST AS IV'E TOLD YOU BEFORE AND I COULDN'T STAY WHERE HE IS.
BECAUSE THE FAMILY AND GREEN GREEN GRASS OF HOME I SURELY MISSED.
JOBS ARE NOT EASY TO COME BY EITHER AND HE HAS A VERY GOOD ONE.
SO IT WAS BEST HE STAYED THERE BECAUSE BEING OUT OF WORKS NOT FUN.
WELL FOLKS I HAVE TO GO NOW I HAVE UMPTEEN THINGS TO DO.
SO UNTIL NEXT TIME TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS AND KNOW I AM THINKING OF YOU.
I STILL HAVN'T GOT MY CAMERA RIGGED UP BUT I WILL I PROMISE FOR NEXT TIME.
SO BYE BYE FOR NOW I'LL BE CATCHING YOU ALL SOON LOVE FROM KATH AND
"MY SIMPLE RHYMES.
"MOTHERHEN "
