LOOK AT THIS  CARTFUL OF GOOD WISHES  I RECIEVED IN MY MAIL TODAY

 

THANKS A MILLION  TO YOU KNOW WHO  WHAT A LOVELY SUPRIZE MAY I SAY.

 

I HONESTLY HAD NO IDEA AND HADN'T REALISED AT ALL.

 

SO I RECKON IT'S TIME FOR CELEBRATIONS I AM GOING TO HAVE A BALL HE-HE.

 

WHOO- HOO TWO YEARS IN J/LAND I'M NOW GOING TO  CELEBRATE.

 

SO IV'E CUT A LARGE PCE OF SWISS ROLL  MY FRIENDS AND POPPED IT ON A PLATE.

 

ON TOP I HAVE PLACED TWO CANDLES AND I'M RESTING NOW IN MY PLACE .

 WELL IT CALLS FOR A BIT OF RELAXATION AS J/LAND TAKES UP LOTS OF TIME.

 

WHEN YOU HAVE TO DO ALL THE COMMENTING  AND MAKE UP THESE SIMPLE RHYMES.

 

IT'S ALSO AS YOU KNOW FOLKS ST GEORGES DAY TODAY.

 

WHEN I THINK OF THE DRAGON  I HAVE TO SMILE IT REMINDS ME OF BYGONE DAYS.

 

I USED TO WORK WITH YOUNG ONES AT ONE TIME AND ONE GUY WAS CALLED CARLOS.

 

I USED TO PRETEND TO HIM EACH DAY THAT MOTHERHEN WAS THE BOSS.

 

HE WAS NEW TO THE PLACE SO HE DIDN'T KNOW AND HE NEVER GOT NOTHING DONE..

 

SO I USED TO SHOUT AND  TELL HIM I'D SACK HIM JUST FOR A BIT OF FUN.

 

ALL THE LADS USED TO ROLL WITH LAUGHING AND ONE DAY THEY TOLD LAUGHING KATH.

 

CARLOS HAD NAMED ME NOT MOTHERHEN BUT THE

DRAGON  JUST FANCY THAT . HE-HE.

 

WE LATER GOT ON AS BEST OF FRIENDS AND EVERY DAY HAD REAL FUN TIME.

 

SO HERES TO YOU CARLOS IF EVER YOU FIND J/LAND YES IT'S YOU I NAME  IN MY RHYME.

 

IT'S MANY YEARS SINCE I SAW YOU BUT OH! WHAT FUN WE HAD.

 

WHEN THE DRAGON WAS BOSS AND WHEN YOU WERE NEW AND ONLY A YOUNG LAD.

 

Mmmm THAT SWISS ROLL WAS DELICIOUS  I THINK ANOTHER PIECE CALLS.

 

I HOPE WHEN IV'E HAD MY TIPPLE OR  TWO I DON'T HAVE ANY  SILLY FALLS.   HE-HE.

 

DRUNK AS A SKUNK THEY SAY DON'T THEY ? WELL I'M GOING TO GIVE IT A TRY.

 

I DON'T THINK ANNIVERSARY'S SHOULD PASS  ALL MISERABLE AND  DRY.   HE-HE.

 

AS YOU KNOW I AM NOT A DRINKER ONLY AT SPECIAL TIMES.

 

SO BLOW IT I'M GOING TO ENJOY WHILST I CAN I THINK EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE.

 

WHOOPS !!!  I'M FEELING QUITE DIZZY THIS BOTTLE IS ALMOST DONE.

 

STILL NOT TO WORRY IF I HAVN'T GOT MUCH AT LEAST I AM HAVING FUN.

 

HE-HE I WISH MY ANNIVERSARY WAS EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK.

 

I'M LOVING THIS TIPPLE AND NOSH UP AND I'M WARM  AS OUTSIDE IT'S RAINY AND BLEAK.

 

" HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MOTHERHEN " CONGRATULAIONS TO YOU.

 

AND THANKYOU TO ALL  FOR STANDING BY ME WHENEVER  I HAVE FELT BLUE.

"I'M SORRY IT'S TAKEN SO LONG"

  

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HE-HE HE GOODBYE DECKCHAIR!!!

 

GOOD GRIEF WHAT A PERFORMANCE INSERTING PICS I HAVE HAD.

 

 

I'M SORRY IT'S TAKEN SO LONG TO SHOW YOU ONE OR TWO SNAPS WHAT IV'E DONE.

 

LIKE THE DRAPES I TOLD YOU I WAS MAKING COR BLIMEY THEY WEIGHED A TON.

 

I HAVE TAKEN LOTS OF PICTURES BUT I CANNOT GET THEM HOW I LIKE.

 

SO AFTER TODAY IF NOTHING CHANGES PHOTOBOX CAN GET ON IT'S BIKE HE-HE.

 

YESTERDAY I WENT AND BOUGHT CUSHIONS AS I SIMPLY COULDN'T FIND.

 

THE ENERGY TO MAKE MY OWN JUST NOW BUT I SHALL DO ALL IN GOOD TIME.

 

HERES A FEW PICTURES OF MY TINY ROOM YES I TOLD YOU IT IS PRETTY SMALL.

 

BUT KNOWONE TO PLEASE ONLY MYSELF SO I DON'T NEED A MANSION AT ALL.

 

IT'S LESS TO CLEAN AND LESS TO FURNISH AND LESS TO POLISH AND DUST.

 

AT MY AGE I THINK IT'S PRIORITY LESS SPACE TO ME IS A MUST.

 

IV'E THINGS STILL TO PURCHASE TO FILL IT UP  BUT FOR NOW I JUST TOOK A FEW SNAPS.

 

TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT IV'E BEEN UP TO YES ME OLD LAUGHING KATH.

 

HERE IS THE DOORWAY INTO MY KITCHEN AND ON THE RIGHT DO YOU SEE.

 

ANOTHER DOOR WELL THAT WAS A  STOREROOM BUT NOW MY POOTER ROOM. HE-HE.

 

WHEN NOT IN USE IT SHUTS AWAY SO KNOWONE CAN SEE THAT I OWN.

 

A COMPUTER IF STRANGERS LOOKED THROUGH THE WINDOW AT ALL WHEN I'M NOT AT HOME.

 

IT'S MY LITTLE NEST I CALL IT IN THERE I INSTALLED A LAMP IN THERE TOO.

 

BY MAKING A SMALL HOLE THROUGH THE WALL WITH A SCREWDRIVER TO THREAD THE WIRES THROUGH.

 

I INSERTED A TUBE OF PLASTIC TO RUN THE WIRE THROUGH AS WELL.

 

TO MAKE IT LOOK NEAT IT'S A PLASTERBOARD WALL AS WHEN I KNOCKED I COULD TELL.

 

WELL INSIDE MY KITCHEN DOOR YOU CAN SEE MY LITTLE BOY WHICH I PUT .

 

IN THE GARDEN IN SUMMERTIME BUT FOR NOW HE'S INSIDE WITH MY DOOR SHUT.

 

IV'E RE-STAINED THE DOORS AND SKIRTING BOARDS AND PAINTED ALL THE WALLS.

 

AND THESE ARE MY CURTAINS I MADE CAN YOU SEE THEM I DECIDED NO TIE BACKS AT ALL.

 

I BOUGHT A COUPLE OF SWAG RINGS DRAPED THE CURTAINS OVER THEM.

 

THEN LOOSLY HUNG SOME SHADES OF RIBBON IN WARM COLOURS THIS MOTHERHEN.

 

I FIND THESE EASIER THAN TIE BACKS AND I THINK THEY LOOK NEAT DON'T YOU.

 

DON'T  I  FUSS AND WHEN I GET IDEAS I DON'T HALF MAKE A TA DO . HE-HE.

 

WHEN THIS MOTHERHEN GETS GOING AND PLANS TO DO THINGS HERSELF.

 

NOTHINGI LET STAND IN MY WAY I'M NOW MAKING A DECORATIVE SHELF.

 

FOR OVER THE GAS FIRE ON THE FRONT WALL AS I'D LIKE  A NEW ONE OF THEM.

 

BUT THERES MORE IMPORTANT THINGS I NEED FIRST THAN A NEW GAS FIRE AMEN.

 

YOU WILL SEE ON ONE PICTURE THE STAIRCASE LEADING DOWN INTO MY TINY ROOM.

 

THE MIRROR I SPRAYED GOLD AND LEADED MYSELF I'LL GET THERE I'M SURE QUITE SOON.

 

CAN YOU SEE THE SMALL WINDOW AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STAIRCASE THATS THERE.

 

WELL THATS THE VENETIAN BLIND I FITTED  MYSELF SO KNOWONE  CAN STARE.

 

IN AT ME FROM OUTSIDE WHEN I'M SNORING ON MY SETTEE HAVING NAPS. HE-HE.

 

OR IF I FALL ASLEEP IN THE EVENING  WHEN IV'E DRANK MY YUMMY NIGHTCAP. HE-HE.

 

THE CURTAINS HAVE A SELF PATTERN OF A TINY EMBROIDERY SQUARE.

 

BUT IT DOESN'T SHOW UP MUCH ON THE PICTURE IT MIGHT BE THE LIGHT SHINING THERE.

 

NOW FOR THE LITTLE SETTEE WHICH I BOUGHT I DIDN'T WANT IT IN CREAM.

 

I THOUGHT THE MINK COLOUR MORE PRACTICAL AS EASIER TO ME TO KEEP CLEAN.

 

NOTHING ELABORATE AS I SAID BUT IT'S COMFY AND PAID FOR SO WHY.

 

SHOULD I WORRY WHO DOESN'T LIKE IT AT LEAST I AM GIVING THINGS A TRY.

 

IV'E WORKED REALY HARD THIS LAST FEW WEEKS AS YOU KNOW SUCH A LOT TO DO.

 

STARTING FROM SCRATCH ISN'T EASY AND HAVING TO BUY ALL THINGS NEW.

 

HERE ON THE WALL FOR NOW IS A PICTURE I BOUGHT YEARS AGO IT'S NAMED.

 

BEARVOYANT AS MOTHERHEN CAN TELL FORTUNES AND LOVES TEDDIES AND I  LOVED THE FRAME.

 

IT'S WALNUT BUT LATER THIS PICTURE  WILL GO UP ON THE LANDING  ABOVE.

 

UNTIL  MOTHERHEN SEES ANOTHER PAINTING FOR MY LOUNGE YES ONE WHICH I LOVE.

 

I'M STAINING THE GLASS DOORS THIS WEEK MY FRIENDS SO BUSY AGAIN AM I.

 

ALSO TRYING TO DO COMMENTS AS WELL AND POSTINGS I'M GIVING A TRY.

 

IF I HAVN'T GOT AROUND TO YOU YET PLEASE HAVE PACIENCE I'LL GET THERE EVENTUALLY.

 

LAUGHING KATH  DOESN'T GIVE IN EASILY AS YOU WILL CERTAINLY SEE.

 

I'M ALSO TRYING TO SORT PHOTOBUCKET IT'S BEEN A PAIN OF LATE.

 

TODAY AOL PICTURES WERE HAVING NOTHING AND PHOTOBUCKETS NOT TOO GREAT.

 

UP ON THE DELPH RACK IV'E PLACED MY PLATES OF THE "CHILDREN OF THE WEEK".

 

I CANNOT GET USED TO THEM BEING UP THERE THOUGH WHEN  I TURN MY CHEEK.

 

STILL THERE OUT OF THE WAY AND MY DAUGHTER THINKS THEY LOOK GOOD ON THE RACK.

 

HERE ARE THE VALANCES WAITING TO BE HUNG WHEN FINISHED BY LAUGHING KATH.

 

I WAS GOING TO PUT THEM ON DOUBLE TRACKS BUT THEN I DECIDED NO.

 

IT WAS EASIER TO JUST THREAD THEM ONTO THE POLE AND EASIER TO LIFT DOWN SO.

 

FINALLY I THOUGHT I'D HAVE TO SHOW YOU THE FAMOUS OLD DECK CHAIR.

 

WHICH MOTHERHEN SAT  ON FOR ONE MONTH NO I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A PAIR.   HE-HE.

 

I COVERED IT WITH A DUVET AND THEN DRAPED THE CLOTH ON TOP.

 

WASN'T I HAPPY WHEN I GOT MY SETTEE IF BEEN WOOD I'D HAVE CHOPPED UP THE LOT.

 

HE-HE I'D HAVE  GIVEN IT SOME REALY HARD CRACKS WITH MY HATCHET I'M PRETTY SURE.

 

NO KIDDING I WOULD HAVE GLADLY THROWN IT THEN STRAIGHT OUT THE FLIPPING DOOR.  HE-HE.

 

MY BACK USED TO ACHE AT THE END OF THE DAY AND MY BACKSIDE WAS ALWAYS NUMB.

 

AM I MAD I KEPT SAYING TO MYSELF EACH DAY OR JUST STUPID AND SILLY AND DUMB. HE-HE.

 

BUT IT WAS MY CHOISE TO COME AS YOU KNOW SO SUFFER A WHILE THAT I DID.

 

IN THE OLDEN DAYS WE HAD VERY LITTLE  SOMETIMES NOT EVEN A QUID.

 

SO IV'E BEEN THERE BEFORE AND I CAN TAKE IT THE BAD WITH THE GOOD THAT'S ME.

 

EVERYONE CAN HAVE THERE LUXURIES BEING  HAPPY 'S THE MAIN THING WITH ME.

 

I NEVER HAD MUCH AS A GIRL MY FRIENDS SO THIS WOMAN IS BACK IN THAT CLASS.

 

BUT I AM HAPPY NOW BEING BACK HERE BORN AND BRED AS A WEST YORKSHIRE LASS.

 

LIKE I SAID I WILL GET THERE I KNOW I WILL I HAVE ALL THE PACIENCE AND TIME.

 

SO FOR NOW BYE BYE AGAIN ALL MY FRIENDS FROM KATH AND

 

                " MY SIMPLE RHYMES".

 

     

 

.

 

"I TOOK A STROLL"

                 

 

 

I DECIDED TO TAKE A STROLL LAST THURSDAY  DOWN TOWN AND ROUND ABOUT.

 

I THOUGHT IT WOULD DO ME GOOD  FOR A CHANGE AS IT'S NOT OFTEN I  GET OUT.

 

SO OFF I HEADED IT'S ONLY FIVE MINUTES TO WALK INTO TOWN FROM HOME.

 

NO HILLS IT'S ALL ON THE FLAT THANK GOODNESS SO THERES NO REASON TO MOAN.

 

I BOUGHT FIRST OF ALL A FEW THINGS I NEEDED IN THE STATIONERS SHOP.

 

THEN TO THE BUTCHERS FOR SUNDAY LUNCH A NICE PIECE OF TEMPTING BEEF CROP.

 

THEN I WALTZED AROUND A CHARITY SHOP AND THERE ON THE FLOOR WAS A PILE.

 

OF PICTURES IN A CARDBOARD BOX AND ONE OF THEM MADE ME SMILE.

 

A LOVELY THATCHED COTTAGE COMPLETE WITH SQUIRREL AND BIRDS CAN YOU ALL SEE.

 

OH! I HAVE TO BUY THAT I THOUGHT TO MYSELF IT REMINDS ME OF MARIE.

 

   

YES MARIE OUR LOVELY CHEF FROM "OAK COTTAGE"   A PENCIL SKETCH SO FINE.

 

SO I PAID THE FIVER AND YES!! I WAS THRILLED  THE PICTURE IT NOW WAS MINE.

 

VERY CHEAP  BUT THE  FRAME WAS TATTY AND VERY BADLY SCRATCHED.

 

SO I PAINTED IT MATT BLACK WHEN I GOT HOME AND I THINK IT MATCHES THE THATCH.

 

ALSO THIS TIME IV'E DONE MY KITCHEN IN BLACK AND WHITE THINGS AS WELL.

 

WHEN IT WAS PUT UP ON THE WALL I LOOKED AND I SAID YES IT LOOKS REALY SWELL.

 

DO YOU LIKE MY FIND MARIE OF "OAK COTTAGE"  I HOPE  YOU  DO.

 

WELL YOUR ALWAYS IN MY THOUGHTS EACH DAY  BUT NOW I CARN'T FORGET YOU.

 

AS EACH DAY I WAKE AND POP ON THE KETTLE I'LL LOOK UP AND SEE YOU THERE.

 

COOKING AND LOOKING OUT OF THE WINDOW AS I KNOW YOU STOP AND STARE.

 

AND WATCH MR SQUIRREL EACH MORNING PASSING HIS TIME OF DAY.

 

RUNNING AROUND IN THE GROUNDS OF "OAK COTTAGE" DOWN YOUR OLD KENT WAY.

 

WELL THEN I WENT BACK TO THE LOCAL MEMORIAL PARK OF OUR WAR VETERANS.

 

THE GARDENER I USED TO CHAT STILL WORKS THERE SO SUPRIZED TO SEE MOTHERHEN.

 

A LOVER OF FLOWERS WE USED TO CHAT EACH DAY AS I PASSED ON THROUGH.

 

SO I STOPPED AND CHATTED LIKE OLD TIMES AND FLOWERS HE GAVE ME A FEW.

 

 IT'S LOVELY SAT THERE ON THE BENCHES IN SUMMER LAZING AND SMACKING MY LIPS.

 

YES YOU HAVE GUESSED HAVN'T YOU ALL EATING MY FISH AND CHIPS.  HE-HE.

 

I THEN WENT ALONG TO THE DOCTORS FOR MY PRESCRIPTION AGAIN WAS DUE.

 

I'M FEELING MUCH BETTER ON THE MEDICATION NOT FEELING HALF AS BLUE.

 

WHILST WAITING IN THE PHARMACY I SPOTTED A LONG TIME FRIEND.

 

WE HUGGED AND HAD A GOOD NATTER AND EXCHANGED NUMBERS SO WE COULD SEND.

 

ONE ANOTHER SOME MESSAGES SO THAT WAS A BONUS TO ME.

 

AS LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE MOVED ON FROM HERE OR PASSED OVER IV'E FOUND YOU SEE.

 

BY THIS TIME I FELT QUITE WEARY AND WITH BAGS AND THE PICTURE MY LOAD.

 

WAS FEELING PRETTY HEAVY BY NOW SO I HEADED BACK TO MY ABODE.

 

WASN'TI GLAD WHEN I REACHED THE DOOR THE BAGS I DROPPED AND I SANK.

 

ONTO MY NEW SETTEE FOLKS AS I FELT AS STIFF AS A PLANK. HE-HE .

 

IT MUST BE ALL THE BENDING AND LIFTING IV'E DONE AND ALL THOSE CHORES.

 

WHICH IV'E BEEN DOING FOR FOUR WEEKS NOW NEXT MINUTE I WOKE WITH SNORES.  HE-HE.

 

YES I MUST HAVE NODDED WHILST RESTING AS  THE SETTEE FEELS LIKE A BED.

 

MUCH COMFIER THAN THE DECK CHAIR WHEN I SIT DOWN AND REST MY HEAD.  HE-HE.

 

STILL I'D ENJOYED MY LITTLE STROLL AND A BARGAIN I FOUND WHICH WAS GOOD.

 

I THINK I SHALL HAVE TO DO THIS MORE OFTEN  I REALY FEEL I SHOULD.

 

I CUT THE GRASS THE OTHER DAY TOO  WHILE THE SUN IT SHONE.

 

THEN IN TWO MINUTES WE HAD LARGE HAILSTONES AND ALL THE SUNSHINE HAD GONE.

 

 

 

SO I SNAPPED A PICTURE TO SHOW YOU ALL POOR OLD HEDGHOG HE WAS WET THROUGH.

 

I HAD ONLY JUST PUT HIM OUT AS WELL I BET HE WAS FROZEN TOO HE-HE.

 

 

 

 

 

 

THEN FRIDAY CAME SOME ACHES AND PAINS  I FELT TERRIBLE OH! NO NOT FLU.

 

THEN AGAIN IT COULD BE THE BENDING AND LIFTING IV'E DONE THROUGH AND THROUGH.

 

THE LAST FEW WEEKS AS YOU KNOW IV'E BEEN BUSY AND NEVER HAD  A REST.

 

SO ALL DAY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY MY NEW BED WAS PUT TO THE TEST.

 

I KEPT GETTING UP AND TRYING A FEW COMMENTS BUT STILL I HAD TO RETIRE.

 

BACK TO THE SETTEE OR BED MY FRIENDS AS I ACHED AND WAS OH SO TIRED.

 

AOL HAVE BEEN VERY MUCH A PAIN TOO AND WOULDN'T LET ME SIGN ON.

 

AS SOON AS I MANAGED TO GET ONLINE NO SOONER CONNECTION WAS GONE. GRRRRR !!

 

THE WIND OUTSIDE IS BITTER AND I CANNOT FEEL WARM AT ALL.

 

WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET SOME NICE WEATHER WE WILL SOON BE HEADING FOR FALL.

 

IF IT DON'T HURRY UP GOOD GRIEF ALMOST MAY AND NO SIGN OF ANY HEAT.

 

I AM WAITING TO EDGE ALL THE GRASS MY FRIENDS TO MAKE IT LOOK NICE AND NEAT.

 

I DON'T THINK I'LL DO MUCH  DIGGING THIS YEAR THOUGH AS I HAVE ENOUGH ON MY PLATE.

 

INSIDE THE HOME THIS TIME I'M AFRAID GETTING IT ALL  SHIP SHAPE.

 

I'M TIRED OUT FOLKS SO I'LL LEAVE YOU ONCE MORE TOMORROW I'M STAINING IN PINE.

 

IF THIS OLD MOTHERHEN FEELS BETTER THAT IS SO GOODNIGHT NOW FROM

 

                                   " MY SIMPLE RHYMES ".

 

 

 

                        

" ANOTHER DAY ANOTHER JOB ".

 

 

 

 

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 "

   

"SINCE SATURDAY"

 

                                             

SINCE SATURDAY I HAVE BEEN SEWING MAKING DRAPES FOR WINDOWS EACH DAY.

 

WHEN YOU LINE THEM IT'S LIKE MAKING TWO PAIR AS THE LININGS ARE MADE THE SAME WAY.

 

GOOD GRIEF IT IS NEVER ENDING I HAVE MADE MANY PAIRS IN MY TIME.

 

YET EACH PAIR I MAKE SEEM TO TAKE FOREVER STILL THEY ARE COMING ALONG FINE.

 

I HAVE PINNED TACKED AND PRESSED TILL I'M DIZZY MY FINGERS ARE REALY SORE.

 

I USED TO LOVE MY SEWING AT ONE TIME BUT NOW IT'S BECOME A BORE .

 

I AM NOT REALY FOND AS IT MAKES  MY ARMS ACHE LIFTING  ALL OF THE WEIGHT.

 

WHEN THEY ARE VERY WIDE AND LONG WHEN THERE FINISHED I HOPE THEY  LOOK GREAT.

 

OR I'LL  BE AN OLD ANGRY MOTHERHEN AFTER ALL IT'S  REALY HARD WORK.

 

LIFTING AND TURNING THEM THIS WAY AND THAT NO TIME TO WASTE OR LURK.

 

THE GENTLEMAN CAME AND FITTED MY BLINDS SO NOW I HAVE TO BUY  TRACKS.

 

TO FIT ABOVE THE WINDOWS ALONG WITH SOME VALANCE RACKS.

 

WELL ROOSTER HE RANG AND HE TOLD ME THAT HE WOULD COME OVER AND DO.

 

THEM ALL FOR ME IF I WANTED HIM TO SO I SAID YES IT'S CHEAPER TOO.

 

IF HE DOES IT FOR ME BECAUSE THESE WORKMEN YOU HIRE THEY CHARGE THE EARTH.

 

AND FOR WHAT YOU PAY THEM TO DO SUCH A SMALL JOB THE AMOUNT IS JUST NOT IT'S WORTH.

 

ANYWAY I DON'T LIKE STRANGE MEN IN MY HOME WHEN I'M SAT ALL ALONE.

 

I DON'T FORGET  THAT GAS MAN DO YOU ? WHO HELPED HIMSELF TO MY SCONES . HE-HE.

 

THE BEST IS TO COME YET NOT KIDDING THERE ALL TO MACHINE NOW OH! MY.

 

IF I CARN'T THREAD THAT EYE OF THE NEEDLE MINE WON'T BE VERY DRY.

 

THERE'LL BE TEARS FLOWING DOWN LIKE RIVERS SECOND THOUGHTS I'LL GET OUT MY EYEGLASS.

 

 

CAN YOU SEE ME WITH THAT IN MY HAND SHERLOCK HOLMES LOOKALIKE LAUGHING KATH. HE-HE.

 

THE NEEDLE WILL BE UP DOWN UP DOWN GOING LIKE THE CLAPPERS IT WILL.

 

MY NEW NEIGHBOUR BETTY SAYING DO YOU THINK  THAT LASS NEXT DOOR WILL EVER BE STILL.   HE-HE.

 

I'LL TELL YOU A BIT MORE ABOUT MY NEIGHBOUR AS TIME GOES BY AND I KNOW.

 

MORE ABOUT HER AS WEV'E ONLY SPOKEN BRIEFLY WHEN SHE SAID HELLO!!  

 

SHE WAS GOING OUT SHOPPING WITH HER SON  AND IN QUITE A HURRY YOU SEE.

 

SO I DON'T KNOW VERY MUCH ABOUT HER YET AND SHE DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT ME . HE-HE

 

THE DECKCHAIR IS GOING ON WEDNESDAY FRIENDS IV'E ORDERED A  MINK COLOURED SETTEE.

 

NOTHING EXPENSIVE LIKE MY LAST SUITE BUT IT WILL BRING COMFORT TO ME.

 

AT LAST I'LL BE ABLE TO PUT UP MY FEET AND HAVE MY AFTERNOON NAP.

 

WITHOUT HAVING TO GO UP TO BED TO LIE DOWN LIKE I DO WHEN IV'E HAD MY NIGHTCAP.

 

LIKE IV'E SAID IN THE PAST THOUGH IT'S NOT THE CONTENTS OF ANYBODY'S HOME.

 

THE WELCOME AT THE DOORS MORE IMPORTANT AND TO THIS I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PRONE.

 

SO NOW I AM SEARCHING MATERIAL TO MAKE CUSHIONS OF MY OWN CHOISE.

 

THEN BETTY NEXT DOOR I'LL INVITE FOR A CUPPA AND LET HER GET USED TO MY VOICE.  (Poor Girl) HE-HE.

 

NO SERIOUSLY FRIENDS I DON'T LIVE WITH NEIGHBOURS BUT I DO LIKE THEM STILL TO KNOW.

 

THEY ARE WELCOME TO POP IN AT ANYTIME IF NEED BE I TELL THEM SO.

WHATEVER'S INVENTED THEY HAVE TO HAVE IT BUT I'LL GET ALONG JUST FINE.

 

WITHOUT ALL THE NEW FANGLED GADGETS A DISHWASHER ETC AS SUCH.

 

MAYBE ONE DAY IF I WIN THE LOTTERY AND GOLD THEN I'LL FEEL I HAVE TOUCHED. HE-HE

 

TILL THEN MOTHERHEN WILL PLOD ON AND DO WASHING OF DISHES MYSELF.

 

MY GLASSES STILL SPARKLE WHEN HAND WASHED AND DRIED AND ALL POPPED BACK ON THERE SHELF.

 

AS I HAVE EXPLAINED THE HOMES ONLY SMALL SO I'M LIMITED TO WHAT WILL FIT.

 

SO THREE SEATER SETTEE AND A NICE LARGE POUFFE I'M PROVIDING FOR COMPANY TO SIT.

 

WELL FREINDS TODAY I AM GOING  TO THE BANK AS IV'E SPENT UP AGAIN ON ALSORTS.

 

PAID THE BILLS THE BLIND MAN AND OTHER THINGS SO I'LL GO AND GET A REPORT.

 

ON MY BANK ACCOUNT AHHHHHHHHH !!! I DREAD IT BUT WHEN IT'S ALL GONE IT'S GONE.

 

THERES ALWAYS MORE I SUPPOSE WHEN IV'E SPENT UP WHERE THE OTHER CAME FROM.

 HE-HE.

 

TALK ABOUT WISHFULL THINKING HE-HE WELL ON THE BRIGHT SIDE I'LL LOOK.

 

I WONDER IF I WILL EVER BE DONE AND BE HAPPY THAT I TOOK MY HOOK.  HE-HE.

 

FROM THE SEASIDE TO GREEN GREEN GRASS OF HOME I'M SURE THE DAY WILL ARRIVE.

 

WHEN EVERYTHINGS FINISHED AND I'LL FINALLY  SAY I AM GLAD TO BE ALIVE. HE-HE.

 

SO UNTIL THE NEXT TIME MY FRIENDS BE HAPPY I'M NOW GOING SHOPPING FOR A WHILE.

 

SO SEE YA " ALL LATER ALIGATORS"  YES  "AFTER A WHILE CROCODILE".   HE-HE.

SCANNING THE LOCAL NEWSPAPERS FOR A WINDOW MAN TO SEEK.

SO I RANG AND A GENTLEMAN CAME ALONG TO ME HE WAS VERY KIND.

 

HE GAVE ME A FREE QUOTE WITH DISCOUNT FOR BEING AN OLD MOTHEREHN. HE HE.

THESE  BEAUTIFUL EASTER BONNETS THEY LOOKED LOVELY WE FELT PROUD.

 

THAT WE HAD PACIENTLY DECORATED FOR THE WAITING CROWD.

 

BONNETS ADORNED IN FLOWERS  AND BONNETS WITH CHICKS ON TOP.

 

BONNETS  WITH TINY EASTER EGGS ON AND RABBITS WITH EARS THAT FLOP.

 

BONNETS TOPPED UP WITH FRESH FRESHIA OH!  WHAT  A BEAUTIFUL SCENT.

 

AND ALL THESE PRETTY BONNETS MADE FROM MANY AN OLD HAT SPENT.

US MUMS HAD MADE THEM ALL ONE EACH TRIMMED UP IN PINK  AND BLUE.

 

ALL THE CHILDREN WOULD GET A PRIZE AFTER THEY SHOWED THEM OFF.

 

USUALY A GIANT  BIG EASTER EGG TWO MINUTES AND THEY WERE SCOFFED. (HE-HE)

 

THE WINNER OF THE MUMS PRIZE RECEIVED CASH TO USE AS SHE WISHED.

 

RAISED FROM COLLECTIONS AROUND THE VILLAGE EVERYONE GAVE TO THIS.

 

WE MUMS WOULD LINE UP IN A  ROW THEN WE WOULD FORM  A RING.

 

FACING THE  REGULARS SAT IN THE SUNSHINE AND ALL OF THEM WOULD  SING.

 

"IN YOUR EASTER BONNET WITH ALL THE FRILLS UPON IT".

 

"YOU'LL BE THE GRANDEST  LADY IN THE EASTER PARADE".

SHE ALWAYS GAVE HER PRIZE AWAY TO OUR CHARITY OF WHICH WE WERE PROUD.

 

OUR CHARITY WAS FOR THE BLIND DOGS WE GAVE TO THIS CHARITY FOR YEARS.

 

 

 

                              

THEN WE HAD A PRESENTATION EVENING WITH APPLAUSE AND LOTS OF  CHEERS.

 

THE TREASURER OF THE LOCAL BLIND  WOULD BRING THE GUIDE DOG ALONG.

 

INTRODUCING US ALL TO THE GUIDE DOG  FOR  A FUSS TO BE MADE UPON.
