" MY PRECIOUS FIND"

                               

 

 

 PLEASE CAN WE GO TO McDONALDS I USED TO HERE LUKE  SAY .

 

MY TINY GRANDSON WHO THIS YEAR WILL LEAVE SCHOOL IN THE MONTH OF MAY .

 

HE WAS THEN JUST A LITTLE TINY TOT  FRIENDS AND McDONALDS WAS SOMETHING NEW.

 

TO ME AS THEY'D ONLY JUST OPENED ONE IN MY TOWN AND ONLY A FEW.

 

WERE SCATTERED AROUND ENGLAND IN THEM DAYS NOT LIKE THEY ALL ARE NOW.

 

SO EACH TIME I LOOKED AFTER GRANDSON LUKE I'D TREAT HIM TO SOMETHING SOMEHOW.

 

WELL CAN I PLEASE HAVE AN HAPPY MEAL GRANDMA HE WOULD SAY WITH JOY.

 

I HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE CONTENTS WERE BUT I WANTED TO PLEASE MY BOY.

 

PLEASE GRANDMA CAN I HAVE ONE HE'D PLEA BECAUSE INSIDE THERES A LITTLE TOY.

SO OFF HE WOULD TROT HOLDING MY HAND AND HE ALWAYS HELD MY BAG.

WELL THE REASON I TELL YOU THIS STORY IS BECAUSE YESTERDAY I FOUND SOMETHING ELSE.

 

THIS LITTLE FELLOW WHICH GRANDSON GAVE ME INSTEAD OF KEEPING HIMSELF.

 

I HAVE HAD IT ALL OF TEN YEARS NOW AND I REMEMBER PUTTING IT AWAY

 

FOR SAFE KEEPING BECAUSE IT BROUGHT MEMORIES TO ME OF THAT VERY DAY.

 

LUKE TOOK ME TO McDONALDS  FOR HIS HAPPY MEAL  WITH FRIES.

 

WHEN  I LOOKED AT IT THERE  I MUST ADMIT I SHED A FEW  TEARS FROM  MY EYES.

 

THEN I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET ONE NIGHT AND THIS PARTICULAR SMURF WELL HE.

The Happy Meal Smurf is stamped (c) Peyo 1997.The McDonald's Smurfs all have an "M" marked on the back of their heads.

HOW MUCH LOVE IT FILLS MY HEART WITH FROM MY  FIRST GRANDSON LUKE WELL WHO.

 

THAT DAY TEN YEARS AGO SAID TO ME  " GRANDMA YOU  HAVE SMURFY BECAUSE I REALY LOVE YOU " .

 

 

                               

 

THOSE WORDS MEANT  MORE THAN A MILLION POUND AND THEY STILL RING OUT LOUD IN MY HEAD.

 

HE WAS DELIGHTED WITH THE SMURFY BUT HE GAVE IT TO GRANDMA  INSTEAD.

 

OF BEING SELFISH AND KEEPING IT FOR HIMSELF AND I LOVE MY LITTLE SMURF.

JEWELLERY CLEAR OUT.

 

    

 

 

WHEN I WOKE YESTERDAY IT WAS GLOOMY AS I GOT UP WITH THE LARKS.

 

NOT A DAY TO GO WALKING AT ALL OR SITTING AROUND IN THE PARKS. 

 

I DECIDED  ANOTHER  CLEAR OUT OF MY JEWELLERY BOXES THREE.

 

I DON'T OFTEN WEAR MUCH OF THIS NOWADAYS  AS I DO NOT GO OUT MUCH  YOU SEE.

 

NECKLACES OF EVERY DESIGN WITH EARINGS TO MATCH THERE TOO.

 

COSTUME JEWELLERY  FIRST I CLEARED ALL THE REDS AND BLACKS AND BLUE.

 

WHITES AND PINKS AND LILACS ALL COLOURS UNDER THE SUN.

 

 

 

 

OH IT TOOK ME HOURS TO SORT THEM ON DOING SO I HAD MUCH FUN.

 

AS EACH PIECE BROUGHT A MEMORY OF SOME EVENT I'D BEEN ON.

 

OUTINGS AND GATHERINGS OF FAMILY WHEN TO WEDDINGS AND THINGS WE HAVE GONE.

 

THEN CAME THE SORTING OF HAIR ORNAMENTS YES I HAVE LOTS IN STORE.

 

AS I HAVE HAD  MY HAIR FAIRLY LONG FOR MANY A YEAR AND MORE.

 

 

        

                       

 

SO ON SPECIAL OCCASIONS I USUALY WEAR

SOMETHING ADORNING  MY HAIR.

 

AS IN THE PICTURE BELOW HERE YOU  SEE SOME FLOWERS IN MY HAIR THERE .

 

  

 

THIS WAS AT SOMEONES WEDDING A COUPLE OF YEARS  AGO NOW.

 

I WAS  LOOKING DOWN AT MY GRANDAUGHTER DANCING AWAY OH WOW.

 

THEY DIDIN'T WANT ANYONE IN HATS SO I HAD TO TRIM UP MY HAIR.

 

OTHERWISE DO NOT AKS ME WHY I THINK I WOULD HAVE FELT BARE.

 

SO YES EACH PIECE I SORTED A MEMORY IT  BROUGHT MY WAY.

 

OF ME ENJOYING MYSELF ALL DRESSED UP ON SOME CELEBRATION  DAY.

 

ALMOST LIKE WHENYOU HEAR CERTAIN MUSIC IT BRINGS TO YOUR MIND THE SAME.

 

A MEMORY OF SOMETHING IN THE TUNE TAKES YOU WONDERING DOWN OLD MEMORY LANE.

 

WELL THE JEWELLERY AND THINGS FINALLY SORTED IT TOOK  ME MANY HOURS.

 

SO I THEN WENT OUT AND DECIDED TO TAKE A FEW SNAPS OF MY FLOWERS.

 

I THOUGHT I MIGHT CHEER YOU UP MY FRIENDS FROM THESE LONG DARK DISMAL DAYS.

 

WE HAVE ALL BEEN EXPERIANCING RAINSTORMS AND WINDS BUT NOT MANY SUNSHINE RAYS.

 

YET MY LITTLE PANSIES HAVE DONE SO WELL THEY ARE BLOOMING AND BOWING THERE HEADS .

 

EACH MORNING I GO TO TEND THEM AND PLUCK OFF THE ONES THAT ARE DEAD.

 

IN THE BITING WIND THEY FLOURISH AND LIVING HERE AT THE COAST.

 

THROUGH ALL THE GALES AND THE SALT AIR AROUND THERE CERTAINLY PROVING THE MOST.

 

HEALTHY LOOKING PANSIES AND I WISH I COULD SAY THE SAME.

 

FOR ME MYSELF MY FRIENDS BUT I CANNOT THAT WOULD BE REALY VAIN.

 

SO I HOPE THESE FEW LITTLE PANSIES FOR THOUGHT HAVE CHEERED YOU ALL TODAY .

 

AND LETS HOPE NOW WE ARE ALMOST IN  FEBRUARY SPRING SOON WILL BE ON ITS WAY.

 

OH HOW I LOVE THE SPRINGTIME WITH DAFFY'S AND TULIPS AND SUCH .

 

YOU KNOW HOW I LOVE MY FLOWERS AND I MISS MY GARDENS SO MUCH.

 

 

 

NOT TO WORRY AS LONG AS I HAVE MY POTS AT LEAST THERE SHOWING THERE WORTH .

 

AS NEARER GODS HEART IN A GARDEN THAN ANYWHERE ELSE ON EARTH.

 

SO ONCE AGAIN A MEMORY THESE TINY PANSIES BROUGHT ME.

 

GROWING THERE IN THAT TINY POT ORANGES AND LEMONS YOU SEE.

 

OF ALL MY DELIGHTFUL GARDENS IV'E MADE WHEN I USED TO HAVE LARGE PLOTS.

 

IT'S NOT THE SIZE OF THE GARDEN  BECAUSE " LITTLE THINGS MEAN A LOT ".

 

 

 

ISN'T IT STRANGE HOW SORTING MY JEWELERY AND SORTING MY HAIR ONAMENTS .

 

BROUGHT  ME A DAY OF JOY AND BROUGHT ME SUCH MEMORIES AND  SENTIMENTS.

 

SO WHEN  ALL WAS   FINALLY SORTED OUT AND ALL THINGS WERE TIDY AND FINE.

 

I SAT DOWN RELAXED AND DECIDED TO WRITE YOU ANOTHER OF                            

 

                              " MY SIMPLE RHYMES ".

 

 

                      HAVE A LOVELY DAY EVREYONE

 

         

                   

 

              KATH    ASTORIASAND

 

 

 

"THIRTY TWO YEARS AGO

       

 

WHERE HAVE THE LAST THIRTY TWO YEARS GONE WOULDN'T I LIKE TO KNOW.

 

LOOKING BACK AT THIS PHOTOGRAPH I WONDERED THEN WHERE WE WOULD GO .

 

AS AT THIS PARTICULAR TIME IN LIFE I WAS LEFT  WITH THREE CHILDREN SMALL.

 

I HAD NO IDEA WHAT LIFE HAD  IN STORE AND I HAD NO CARES AT ALL.

 

YET WHEN I CAME ACROSS THIS PICTURE I THOUGHT TO MYSELF WELL KATH

 

LOOKING AT YOU THERE SMILING YOU  MUST STILL HAVE HAD STRENGTH TO LAUGH.

 

THE ELDEST SON  JUST SEVEN YRS OLD THEN NEXT SON THREE AND A HALF .

 

MY DAUGHTER TEN MONTH OLD AND ME WEARING MY BANDANA SCARF.

 

I HAD GONE ON A DAY TRIP OUT TO WALES WITH A FRIEND SO KIND TO ME THEN.

 

I AM  SAT AT THE TOP OF CAERNARFON CASTLE IN THEM DAYS WALES WAS A JEM.

 

THE PREVIOUS YEAR I HAD BEEN SO ILL WHEN EXPECTING MY BABY GIRL..

 

COMPLICATIONS SET IN AT THREE MONTHS AND EVERYTHING WENTIN A WHIRL .

 

I HAD ACUTE APPENDICITIS AND A GALL BLADDER OP AS WELL.

 

THEN I HAD AN ABCESS REMOVED FROM MY UTERUS TOO PAINFUL FOR ME TO TELL .

 

THE SURGEON TOLD MY PARENTS IT WAS MY LIFE OR THE BABES.

 

UNTIL ANOTHER SPECIALIST STEPPED IN AND HIM OUR LIVES HE SAVED.

 

SIX MONTHS OF OPERATIONS AND BED REST UNTIL THE DAY.

 

MY BABY GIRL WAS DELIVERED IN THE ORDINARY  NORMAL WAY.

 

I WAS VERY WEAK ON COMING HOME AND FOUGHT WITH ALL OF MY MIGHT.

 

THOUGH AT ONE POINT DURING MY HOSPITAL STAY I DID GIVE THEM ALL A FRIGHT.

 

SO WHEN I RECOVERED AND I WAS THEN LEFT WITH MY CHILDREN THREE.

 

I WAS ASKED IF I'D LIKE THIS DAY OUT AND SO I QUICKLY  DID AGREE.

 

THE YEAR WAS 1976 AND I REMEMBER THE WEATHER  RED HOT.

 

THATS MAYBE WHY I HAVE THE BANDANA PLONKED ON MY TOP KNOT HE-HE.

 

 

LOOKING BACK NOW I THINK OF THE TIME HOW I WORRIED WHAT LIFE HAD IN STORE.

 

TODAY AS I LOOK AT THIS PHOTOGRAPH I DON'T THINK I COULD WISH FOR MORE.

 

TIMES HAVE BEEN HARD AND IV'E STRUGGLED BUT ALSO TIMES HAVE BEEN GOOD.

 

SO MUCH SO IF WE COULD TURN AROUND I KNOW I SURELY WOULD.

 

LIVE OVER THOSE YEARS I HAVE TRAVELLED I'M SO THANKFUL FOR ALL I HAVE HAD.

 

IT COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE BUT I TAKE THE GOOD WITH THE BAD .

 

LOOK HOW SLIM THE CHILDREN WERE  IN THEM DAYS FOLKS CAN YOU  SEE.

 

SOMETIMES ON THESE OLD PHOTOGRAPHS THEY LOOK SKELETAL TO ME.

 

THOUGH I FEEL BECAUSE THEY ATE WHAT WE COOKED GOOD FOOD NOT LIKE TODAY.

 

I NEVER BOUGHT ANYTHING  IN TINS OR JARS AND NO FAST FOODS DOWN OUR WAY.

 

ALL THE PROCESSED STUFF THATS AROUND ON SALE FOR THE KIDS IN THIS AGE.

 

CHIPS AND BEEFBURGERS FAST FOODS ETC  SEEM NOW TO BE ALL THE RAGE.

 

SO I DO BELIEVE THE DOCTORS ARE RIGHT IN MANY THINGS WHICH THEY SAY.

 

ABOUT THE GROWING DIABETES CHILDREN ARE EXPERIANCING  TODAY.

 

WELL THE PICTURE ABOVE I JUST LOVE IT OF THE CHILDREN  WHEN THEY  WERE SMALL.

 

THERE  IN WALES A SINGLE MOTHER  OUTSIDE THE FLORAL HALL.

 

OH ISN'T IT GOOD TO LOOK BACK AT OLD PICTURES WHEN WE HAVE LOTS OF TIME.

 

I LOVE TO GO BACK TO THEM DAYS BUILDING SAND CASTLES SAYING NURSERY RHYMES .

 

IF WE KNEW BACK THEN WHAT WE KNOW NOW BACK IN THOSE DAYS OF OLD.

 

I STILL WOULDN'T CHANGE A THING IN MY LIFE WHICH A LITTLE OF IT I HAVE TOLD.

 

CHILDREN KEEP YOU YOUNG AT HEART AND THEY KEEP YOU ON YOUR TOES.

 

EVERYONE WHO HAS HAD A FAMILY WILL UNDERSTAND THIS AND  KNOW.

 

AHHHH  WELL THOSE THIRTY TWO YEARS HAVE PASSED NOW AND IT IS 2008.

 

I HAVE LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF ALL OF THEM EACH ONE OF THEM  WERE GREAT.

 

I DID HAVE ANOTHER SON AFTER THIS TIME TO MY ROOSTER IN  SEVENTY NINE.

 

EVEN THOUGH I HAD BEEN TOLD NOT TO EVERYTHING  TURNED OUT FINE.

 

THROUGH TIMES OF TROUBLE AND SADNESS WE ALL SEEM TO WIN THROUGH SOMEHOW..

 

YES THERE IS LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL WHEN YOUR THINKING YOU  DON'T KNOW HOW.

 

TO MAKE ENDS MEET AND WHERE YOU ARE GOING OR WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT.

 

SO DON'T GET UPSET BECAUSE BELIEVE ME IV'E  HAD ROUGH TIMES AND BEEN VEXED.

 

BUT THE GOOD LORD HE HELPED ME THROUGH IT ALL AND HERE I AM AT THIS TIME.

 

THIRTY TWO YEARS PAST  MY FAMILY GROWN UP  AND STILL WRITING " MY SIMPLE RYHME "

 

                

                                    

 

 THANX TO CHRIS OF CAB'S CREATIONS FOR THIS LOVELY GRAPHIC.

PLASTERERS AND AOL

                                

HELLO AOL PLEASE. 

        

       

                                 

I WAS WOKEN UP FRIDAY  MORNING AGAIN TO BANGING AND THOUGHT TO MYSELF.

 

WAS IT COMING FROM OUTSIDE MY FLAT OR HAD SOMETHING DROPPED OFF A SHELF.

 

AS ANYONE KNOWS WHEN YOUR EARS ARN'T PERFECT SOUNDS ARE HARD TO DETECT.

 

JUST WHERE ABOUTS THEY ARE COMING FROM SO I THOUGHT OH WHAT THE HECK.

 

I ROLLED OVER AND PULLED THE DUVET UP AND THEN BANG IT HAPPENED AGAIN.

 

I WAS SURE THIS TIME IT CAME FROM THE WINDOW AND SOMETHING HAD HIT THE PANE.

 

ROOSTER HAD LEFT FOR WORK AT THIS TIME SO I WENT BACK TO TO BED  FOR A WHILE.

 

AS I TOLD YOU IN MY LAST POSTING THIS HAS BEEN MY LATEST STYLE.     HE HE

 

BEING OF A NERVOUS DISPOSITION I THOUGHT I HAD BETTER GET UP.

 

AND HAVE A LOOK ROUND THE FLAT TO SEE JUST WHAT WAS REALY UP.   HE-HE.

 

SO I WANDERED FROM ROOM TO ROOM HALF ASLEEP AND COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING AMISS.

 

OPENED THE CURTAINS AND PEEPED THROUGH THE BLINDS BUT ALL I SAW WAS A MIST.

 

I WAS STILL WONDERING WHAT THE BANGS WERE AND I THOUGHT OH KATH GET DRESSED.

 

SO I WENT TO GET SHOWERED AND WHILST I WAS DOING SO VISIONED I'D FIND A MESS.

 

ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD IT AGAIN OH GOODNESS LET ME GET OUT.

 

OF THIS SHOWER QUICKLY GET DRESSED AND  HAVE ANOTHER LOOK ABOUT.

 

WELL I MADE THE BED AND DID THE USUAL AND THEN WENT ON SEARCHING AGAIN.

 

WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BIGGEST CRACK AGAINST MY WINDOW PANE.

 

I OPENED THE BLINDS AND ALL I COULD SEE WAS A LADDER IN FRONT OF ME.

 

BLIMEY I THOUGHT THE FLAT NEXT DOOR  HAS BURGLARS I WAS SHAKING  HE-HE.

 

I TRIED TO LOOK UP ABOVE THIS LADDER BUT STILL I COULDN'T SEE RIGHT.

 

SO I DECIDED TO WAIT FOR A WHILE AND SEE IF ANYONE CAME INTO MY SIGHT.

 

THEN YES THIS BUCKET COMES PAST MY WINDOW SWAYING TWO AND FRO ON A ROPE.

 

CRASH IT HITS MY WINDOW AGAIN AND I THOUGHT WHO IS THIS SOME DOPE .

 

THATS SENDING THIS BUCKET AGAINST MY WINDOW I BETTER GET PREPAIRED.

 

SO I SAT DOWN ON THE BEDROOM CHAIR AND WAITED AND I JUST STARED.

 

I WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS THE BUCKET THAT HAD HIT THE GLASS YOU SEE.

 

BEFORE I WENT DOWSTAIRS TO THE CULPRIT AND GIVE THEM A BIT OF ME.   HE-HE

 

SO YES IT HAPPENED AGAIN MY FRIENDS SO I WENT OUTSIDE AND I SAW.

 

THIS GUY SENDING LOTS OF RUBBLE BY BUCKET DOWN ONTO THE FLOOR.

 

BELOW MY FLAT SO I SHOUTED OUT WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR AT.

 

HE SAID I AM TAKING SOME PLASTERWORK OFF THE WALLS FROM THE NEXT DOORS  FLAT.

 

I SAID YES YOUR GOING TO ADD GLASS TO THAT TOO IF IT HITS MY WINDOW AGAIN  .

 

LIKE THAT EVERY TIME IT DOES A TRIP SO PLEASE COULD YOU KINDLY REFRAIN..

 

HE SAID WELL I HAVE A JOB TO DO MRS AND I SAID  WELL GET THE RIGHT GEAR.

 

OR IF I FETCH MY BOWL OF SATSUMAS YOU MIGHT GET A THICK EAR.

 

         

 

 

             

YOU WON'T BE REMOVING PLASTER THEN  AND YOU WOKE ME TOO WITH THE BANGS.

 

DON'T YOU THINK YOU SHOULD PROTECT MY WINDOW FROM YOUR BUCKET WHEN IT HANGS.

 

I WAS TRYING TO HAVE A LIE IN TODAY WHICH IS SOMETHING I DON'T OFTEN DO.  HE-HE  (ya big fibba)

 

AND YOU COME BANGING AND CLATTERING YOUR BUCKET I'M NOT VERY HAPPY WITH YOU.

 

WHATS THE SATSUMAS FOR HE ASKED IN A VERY INQUISITIVE  VOICE.

 

OH! SO YOU'D REALY LIKE TO KNOW WOULD YOU  NOW YOU'VE MADE ALL THIS NOISE.

 

HE SAID YES I WOULDN'T MIND MRS SO I PICKED ONE FROM MY DISH.

I MIGHT BE A PENSIONER BUT IV'E DONE THAT  SO YOU'D BETTER GO WITH THE FLOW.

 

AND UPDATE YOUR EQUIPMENT SONNY BOY AND ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M AROUND.

OF LOVELY JUICY SATSUMAS ASK ANYONE ROUND HERE ABOUT ME.

 

AND THEY WILL TELL YOU I DO NOT MISS AND I LIKE SOME PEACE YOU SEE.

I AM SURE NOW EVERYTHINGS GOING TO BE GREAT AND ALL WILL TURN OUT FINE.

 

SO FOR NOW I WILL LEAVE YOU AND SEE IF AOL ARE GOING TO BE KIND.

 

AND LET ME DO THIS POSTING AS THIS WEEK IV'E HAD PROBLEMS GALORE.

 

THEY WOULDN'T EVEN LET ME SIGN BECAUSE OF THE CHANGES AND THERE UP TO AND MORE.

 

I HAVE BEEN THREE DAYS TRYING TO FIX MY BROADBAND CONNECTION AND FIND OUT WHATS WRONG.

 

WHAT A RIGHT BAND THEY ARE IN FOLKS LOADS OF DUMBELLS AND YES  I NEEDED A GONG.

 

TO WAKE THAT LOT UP LIKE THE BUCKET DID TO ME ON MY WINDOW OF GLASS.

 

CALL THEMSELVES TECHNITIANS YOUR JOKING THERE NOT EVEN IN MY CLASS.HE-HE.

 

A SENIOR CITIZEN HAD TO FIX IT HERSELF AFTER ALL THE PHONE CALLS.

 

AND IT TOOK THREE DAYS OF RINGING AND THEY WERE NO WISER AT ALL.

 

IT'S ALL TO DO WITH THE CHANGEOVER BECAUSE OF THE CARPHONE WAREHOUSE.

 

ALL THOSE WITH AOL AND NOT TALK TALK  CANNOT GET ONLINE TO BROWSE.

 

WHEN THEY CHANGE YOUR SIGN IN TO DIALBROADBAND YOU HAVE TO SEND FOR A DISC.

 

AND YOU CANNOT GET ONE FROM LIVE HELP YOU HAVE TO RING UP FOR THIS.

 

THEN UNINSTALL AOL COMPLETELY AND RE-INSTALL WITH THE NEW.

 

WHAT A PERFORMANCE I HAVE HAD I AM NOT KIDDING YOU.

 

THEY TOLD ME THEY DO NOT LET US KNOW THEY JUST DO IT AUTO AND THEN.

 

WHEN YOU FIND YOURSELF DISCONNECTED AND ENQUIRE AFTER YOU HAVE RUNG THEM.

 

THIS IS THE ANSWER THEY  GIVE YOU I HAVE HAD A JOB FINDING OUT .

 

IT'S A GOOD JOB SATSUMAS DON'T GO DOWN THE PHONE OR I WOULD HAVE KNOCKED A FEW OUT.  HE-HE.

 

ANYWAY I AM HOPING THAT NOW FINALLY I AM   ONLINE.

 

I HAVE TO WAIT FIVE DAYS NOW FOR THE DISC WHICH I HOPE COMES ON TIME.

 

THATS WHY MY COMMENTS HAVE BEEN MISSING I HAVE HAD EIGHT HOURS A DAY.

 

TRYING TO CONFIGURE THE SIGN IN THING AND  THE POOTER RUNNING HEY HEY .  GRRRRRR.

 

MY CONNECTIONHAS BEEN PUT ON TEMPORARY UNTIL THE CD ARRIVES.

 

IF YOUDON'T HEARFROM ME AGAINTHIS WEEK HOPE I AM STILL ALIVE. (Feel like shooting myself he-he)

 

SO GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL IF IT HAPPENS TO YOU AS APPARENTLY ALL THAT ARE.

 

STILL WITH AOL AND NOT TALK TALK ARE NOT GOING TO GET VERY FAR.

 

WHEN IT'S YOUR TURN TO BE CHANGED OVER TO THE NEW SIGN ON METHOD MY FRIENDS.

 

AS PROBLEMS GALORE START HAPPENING AND NO THEY NEVER END.

 

YOU CARN'T GET ONLINE FOR LOVE NOR MONEY WHATEVER YOU TRY TO DO.

 

IT SENDS YOU BARMY IF YOUR NOT ALREADY I AM NOT KIDDING YOU. HE-HE

BITS OF ALSORTS

                       

                          

 

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT WHERE YOU LIVE FOLKS BUT HERE IT IS RAIN RAIN RAIN.

 

EVERY MORNING THIS WEEK IV'E LOOKED OUT  STILL MORE RAIN AGAIN.

 

IV'E BEEN HOPING THAT PEOPLE DON'T GET FLOODED LIKE EARLIER ON THIS YEAR.

 

UP AND DOWN THE COUNTRY THERE ARE LOTS LIVING WITH THIS FEAR.

 

MY BASKETS OF PANSIES ARE GETTING SOAKED THEY WERE LOVELY THIS TIME LAST WEEK.

 

I POPPED DOWN  THIS MORNING TO CHECK ON THEM AND TOOK  A LITTLE PEEK.

 

             

 

 

WON'T IT BE LOVELY WHEN SPRING ARRIVES AND THE LIGHT NIGHTS ARE HERE ONCE MORE.

 

MAYBE  A LITTLE WARMER AND BRIGHTER SO WE CAN  OPEN OUR DOOR.

 

WE WILL ALL HAVE IDEAS IN OUR HEADS FOR THE PLANTING OUR PLOTS IN SUMMER AHEAD.

 

WHEN ALL THE SPRING COLOUR HAS DIED DOWN AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS DEAD.

 

OH HOW I MISS BEING OUTDOORS  BUT I'LL MAKE PLENTY WORK OF MY POTS.

 

DON'T WORRY I'LL FILL THEM WITH ALSORTS WHEN THE SUMMER BEGINS TO GET HOT.

 

JUST WHAT TO PLANT THIS YEAR I AM WONDERING I FANCY A LITTLE CHANGE.

 

SO I  AM GOING TO LOOK ONLINE THIS WEEK AT ALL THE EXTENSIVE RANGE.

 

THERE ARE SO MANY LOVELY FLOWERS THAT BLOOM DURING  THE SUMMER MONTHS.

 

I COULD BUY EVERYTHING WHEN I START I'M AFRAID I HAVE NEVER DONE.

 

I DECIDED ALSO WHEN  I GO WALKS TO SNAP SOME GARDENS I PASS.

 

AROUND MY AREA IF OWNERS ALLOW ME IF THERE OUT CUTTING THERE GRASS..

 

I LIKE TO VISIT OTHER GARDENS AND SEE WHAT THERE PLANS ARE TOO.

 

SO IF I SUCCEED THEN WATCH OUT J/LAND I WILL BE SHOWING YOU.

 

LOTS OF DIFFERANT GARDENS IN MY JOURNAL THIS SUMMER I'M SURE.

 

SHRUBS AND TREES AND ANNUALS AND PERENIALS BULBS AND MORE.

 

I'M NOT SUCH A BRILLIANT PHOTOGRAPHER BUT I'LL TRY AS HARD AS I CAN.

 

ALSO I'LL GIVE THE OPPORTUNITY TOO TO MY ROOSTER MAN.

 

MAYBE HE WILL BE BETTER THAN ME AT TAKING PICTURES WHO KNOWS.

 

OF WONDERFUL PLANTS AND FLOWERS GROWING ALL IN THERE PRETTY ROWS.

 

THE FRESH AIR OUT WALKING  DOES ME GOOD AND MAKES ME SLEEP BETTER TOO.

 

JUST LIKE THIS GRAPHIC BELOW OF DONNA'S I'VE INSERTED HERE FOR YOU.

 

TO SLEEP IN UNTIL TEN IN THE MORNING IS MOST UNUSUAL FOR ME .

 

IT'S WITH  BROWSING UNTIL THE  EARLY HOURS LOOKING FOR ALSORTS  HE-HE

 

IT'S SUPRIZING WHAT YOU CAN COME ACROSS I FOUND  A GOOD SITE WHAT  A LAUGH .

 

I TYPED IN THE VILLAGE WHERE I USED TO LIVE BEFORE I CAME DOWN THIS PATH.

 

IT BROUGHT UP THINGS  THAT HAPPENENED THERE IN DIFFERANT YEARS AND SO

 

I WAS READING WHAT PEOPLE HAD WROTE ABOUT  WHICH HAPPENED LONG AGO.

 

YOU WANT TO TRY IT MY FRIENDS IT'S FUNNY  JUST TYPE IN THE NAME OF YOUR TOWN.

 

TYPE THE WORD KNOWHERE BEFORE YOUR TOWN  IT WILL NOT GIVE YOU A FROWN.

 

WELL I READ SOME REALY  FUNNY THINGS AND I KNEW PEOPLE THERE AS WELL.

 

THERE IS SO MUCH TO FIND THERE PEOPLE  ARE LOOKING FOR OTHER  PEOPLE WHO.

 

USED TO LIVE IN THAT AREA SOMEONE MIGHT BE LOOKING FOR YOU.

 

SO GO AHEAD AND TRY IT MY FRIENDS TYPE IN GOOGLE EXAMPLE HERE:-

 

KNOWHERE ANYTOWN   AND YOUR PLACE  WILL POP  UP AND APPEAR.

 

ON MY SITE I ACTUALY READ OF  SOMEONE WHO MENTIONED ONE OF MY SONS.

 

THEY USED TO PLAY WITH YEARS AGO WHEN THEY WERE KIDS HAVING FUN.

 

SO I SENT THE LINK TO MY SON THAT NIGHT AND WHAT A LAUGH HE HAD TOO.

 

LOTS OF INFORMATION ABOUT LOCALS AND  KIDS WHAT THEY USED TO  DO.

 

I ALSO SPOTTED A LADY'S MESSAGE WHO WENT TO SCHOOL WITH MY SIS.

 

I ANSWERED AND TOLD HER WHAT I COULD THEN WROTE AND TOLD MY BIG SIS.

 

NOW THEY ARE BOTH IN TOUCH AGAIN NOT SEEN ONE ANOTHERS FOR YEARS.

 

SO I BET WHEN THEY HAVE THERE RE-UNION THERE MIGHT BE A FEW MORE TEARS.

 

WHEN OUR KIDS  PLAYED OUT IN THE EVENINGS OF COURSE IT WAS SAFE BACK  IN THEM YEARS.

 

PARENTS COULD LET THERE CHILDREN PLAY OUT WITHOUT HAVING ANY FEARS.

 

THATS WHY I HAVN'T BEEN GETTING UP AS NORMAL AT THE CRACK OF DAWN.  HE-HE.

 

IT'S BEEN A LITTLE BIT LATER THAN THAT WITH GOING TO BED EARLY MORN.

 

IT BROUGHT BACK SUCH HAPPY MEMORIES OF TIMES GONE BY TO ME.

 

AND ALL BECAUSE I TYPED THE WORD KNOWHERE WHEN I WAS GOOGLING  HE-HE.

 

THEY MENTIONED  PLACES WE USED TO GO TO LIKE CINEMA'S DANCE HALLS AND SUCH.

 

PUBS AND CLUBS AND INSTITUTES AND NUMBERS TO GET IN TOUCH.

 

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE HEARD OF KNOWHERE BUT I ENJOYED  IT WAS FUN.

 

I WAS SO SUPRIZED WHAT ALL THESE KIDS GOT UP TO AND WHAT THEY HAD DONE .

 

ONE GIRL WAS LOOKING FOR HER FATHER NO SIGHT OF HIM SINCE A GIRL.

 

SHE PUT OUT A MESSAGE WITH HIS NAME THERE AND MY HEART IT DID A TWIRL.

 

I KNEW HER FATHER WELL MY FRIENDS HE WAS BEST MAN FOR A NEIGHBOUR OF MINE .

 

SO I SENT HER A MESSAGE TO LET HER KNOW HER FATHER WAS DOING FINE.

 

I TOLD HER WHERE I LAST KNEW HE WAS SO I HOPE SHE FINDS HIM WELL.

 

THERE WAS LOTS OF THINGS ON THERE FRIENDS FAR TOO MANY TO TELL.

 

I HAVE LIVED IN ONE OR TWO PLACES SO I'M TYPING ANOTHER VILLAGE NEXT TIME. 

 

SO I THOUGHT I WOULD GIVE IT A MENTION TO YOU HERE  IN   " MY SIMPLE RHYME".

 

 

                        Thanx to Donna for this lovely graphic below.

 

                                          LAZY ME HE-HE -HE
