"MY DAY OUT IN GOATLAND"

"My day out in Goatland"  yesterday,  was fantastic I have to say.

Very few snaps I took up there as It was a rainy day.

Beautiful scenery lush and green everywhere In sight.

Tree branches hanging over the road, shining through was the light.

The Aidensfield store was full of things and nothing was very dear.

So I bought a card with david on to send to my son this year.

My son lives over In dallas,but he  likes a laugh and good fun.

So  If you watch "Heartbeat" on Telly watching david your laughs have begun.

Mr Scrippes Garage  sells alsorts, everything  Tyres to a Screw.

Iv'e added the picture up above, for all you bloggers to view.

Remembering Greengrass  also ! I've entered one off the net.

As Greengrass was my favourite and more people's too I bet.

To the station  to get  the steamtrain.Somewhere out of the rain.

But alas!!  too late i misssed it,so a picture I took of the train.

I then  plodded back to the car park and thought that I'd have my lunch.

The Contents were  salad and yogurt  finished off with a piece of crunch.

A hot  cup of tea to follow ,It was  paradise here out of  town.

Pity It was so wet though, oh!  how I wished the sun had  shone  down.

Goatlands a place you must try, not far from  sand and  sea.

so If ever you go for a visit then afterwards ,come  and see  me (LOL).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

" JUST HAD ENOUGH"

IV'E JUST  HAD ENOUGH NOW I'M SORRY.

OF THE PROBLEMS I GET  DON'T YOU SEE.

EACH TIME THAT I TRY DO MY JOURNAL.

AOL GO'S SO  SLOW!!  IT  BUGS ME!!!!!.

OTHER THINGS WHICH I DO ON MY POOTER .

ARE FAST, AS  I PAY THEM FOR THIS.

BUT MY JOURNAL TAKES HOURS  TO UPLOAD.

SO THIERS SOMETHING GOING AMISS.

I WENT TO LIVE HELP FEELING  ANGRY.

WITH NO LUCK AT ALL, YOU WILL GUESS.

AS THE GUY ON THE LINE HE WAS SIMPLE.

JUST DIDN'T GET ME OUT OF THIS MESS.

HOW DO THEY EXPECT US TO DO THINGS.

ON GOING TO THEM FOR ADVISE.

WHEN THEY NEVER ANSWER OUR QUESTIONS.

WHAT DO WE GET FOR THE PRICE.

CUTTING US OFF WITH NO KNOWLEDGE.

THEN WE HAVE  TO GO  BACK AGAIN.

RINGING THIS TIME AOL  MAN.

WHO'S ALSO SO SLOW AND A PAIN.

I'M SICK NOW AND REALY SO ANGRY.

ESPESCIALLY WHEN IV'E PAID MY  DUE.

SO IF YOU BLOGGERS CARN'T  HELP ME ?

I'M  DELEATING MY JOURNAL IT'S TRUE.

BUT  I'LL MISS ALL OF YOUR NEW  ENTRIES.

AS MILES FROM THE JOURNALS  I'LL KEEP.

BUT I WON'T BE WORRYING WHATS WRONG .

AND I MIGHT GET A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP.

 

"DISSAPOINTMENT.

DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENTS ARE SO FRUSTRATING.

TESTING OUR PACIENCE LOTS OF LONG WAITING.

I HAD ONE THIS WEEK FOR 11AM.

WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR IT WAS JUST LIKE MAY-EM.

SEATS ALL FULL UP,SO I HAD TO STAND.

NO SPACE AT ALL,NOT WHAT I DID PLAN.

ABOUT FIFITEEN MINUTES I THOUGHT I WOULD BE.

THEN ON MY JOURNEY THE PRESS TO SEE.

I HAD WRITTEN  A RHYME FOR MY FRIENDS  BIRTHDAY.

WITH PHOTOGRAPH TOO TO BE PRINTED OH!-LAY!

THE SURGERY FULL,I WAS LAST IN LINE.

WOULD DOCTOR BE QUICK SO I GOT THIER ON TIME.

I PACIENTLY WAITED,AS NAMES WERE CALLED OUT.

MY NERVES ALL FRAYED I WANTED TO SHOUT.

HURRY UP DOC NOW ,THE CLOCKS TICKING BY.

WATCHING INTENSLY WITH A KEEN EYE.

IT'S HALF PAST ELEVEN AND STILL MANY THERE.

SOME NOW HAVE LEFT SO I PULL UP A CHAIR.

A FRIEND I DO SEE,SO WE BOTH START TO CHAT.

SHE WANTS A FORM SIGNING TO GET  A NEW FLAT.

MY FRIENDS NAMES CALLED OUT,WHEN I TAKE A LOOK ROUND.

ALL HAS GONE QUIET THERE ISN'T A SOUND

ANOTHER QUICK GLANCE AT THE CLOCK ON THE WALL.

OH! HOW I WISH DOCTOR WOULD GIVE ME A CALL.

MY FRIEND RE-APPEARS THE DOCTOR SHE'S SEEN.

FORTY FIVE MINUTES I NOTICE I'VE BEEN.

 MY NAME ECHO'S OUT, AROUND THE BARE ROOM.

AT LAST I'LL BE HEANDING UP THE TOWN SOON.

I THEN MUST REALY HURRY AT A FAST PACE.

BEEN ALMOST AN HOUR IT'S SUCH A DISGRACE.

THE DEADLINE FOR PRINTS IN  THE LOCAL NEWS.

IS ALMOST IN SIGHT AND I'M FEELING THE BLUE'S .

MY WATCH SAY'S IT'S TWO MINS TO  TWELVE RIGHT NOW.

IVE GOT TO MAKE IT ON TIME SOMEHOW.

I ENTER THE BUILDING,AND GET OUT MY RHYME.

SORRY SHE  SAYS TOO  LATE IT'S  NOON TIME.

I PLEAD, BUT  SHE STILL SAYS,  NO IT'S TOO LATE.

SO HOME DISSAPOINTED,BECAUSE OF MY WAIT.

"LITTLE CASPER"

HE LAYS IN HIS BASKET SO COMFY AND WARM.

ANGELIC LOOKING INSIDE HIM NO HARM.

SMALL SPARKLY EYES PEEP THROUGH HIS HAIR.

LOOKS UP SYMPETHETIC,AT MASTER IN CHAIR.

IS IT TIME YET HE SEEMS TO SAY WITH A SIGH.

HE;S BEEN WAITING AGES THE TIME TO PASS BY.

BUTTON NOSE TWITCHING WONDERING WHEN.

AUNTIE KATH WILL CALL AND HE CANS sHOW THEn.

JUST HOW HE PERFOMS AT HIS MASTERS COMMAND.

OBEYING THE SIGNS FROM HER STERN POINTINg HAND.

SCURRYING ROUND ON HIS SHORT LITTLE LEGS.

HE KNOWS HE WON'T GET IF HE SCROUNGES AND BEGS.

HE'S GOT TO BE GOOD SIT UP NICE AND STRAIGHT.

BALANCEING THIER AND HE'S  BEEN TOLD TO WAIT.

THEN SHE LETS GO AND SAYS "GOOD BOY  AGAIN".

MONTHS IT HAS TAKEN FOR HER TO TRAIN.

SHE'S SMACKED AND SHE'S SHOUTED NO THIS AND NO THAT.

SOMETIME SHE'D WISHED THAT HE'D BEEN A CAT.

IT WON'T BE LONG NOW AS IT'S NOT FAR OFF SEVEN.

AUNTIE KATH WILL CALL IN AND HE'LL BE IN HEAVEN.

SHE'LL LOOK IN HER BAG AND GET OUT A CHEW.

HE'S WAiTED SO LONG, HE KNOWS ONE IS DUE.

ORDERS DEMANDS WILL ALL START AGAIN.

I BET HE JUST THINKS HIS MASTERS A PAIN.

SIT UP NOW STOP THIER AND WAIT TILL I SAY.

IT'S THE LAST ONE AS WELL YOUR GETTING TODAY.

HE SEEMS TO LOOK UP CHEWING IT FASTER.

AND THANKS GOD FOR GIVING HIM A GOOD MASTER.

FINISHED HIS TREAT HE LIES DOWN FOR A REST.

KNOWING HIS MASTER IS ONE OF THE BEST.

GO  SLEEP NOW casper, AS I WANT TO TALK.

WHEN AUNTIE KATHS GONE WE'LL GO FOR A WALK.

HE DIVES IN HIS BED AS QUIET AS A MOUSE.

BET HE'S SO PLEASED HE LIVES AT THIS HOUSE.

WHEN AUNTIE  KATH LEAVES HE GIVES OUT A BARK.

COME ON MASTER IT'S TIME FOR THE PARK.
