"A VERY CHEAP DAY OUT"

 

 

WE SET OFF ON SUNDAY TO THE MUSEUM WHILST ROOSTER HE WAS OFF WORK.

 

IV'E KEPT SAYING I'D DO A VISIT THERE FOR A WHILE  NOW MY MEMORY TO JERK.

 

ON ARRIVAL THE ROOSTER PAID ONE POUND FIFTY WHAT A CHEAP ENTRANCE FEE.

 

ESPECIALLY IN TODAYS DAY AND AGE AND A DISCOUNT ON TOP FOR ME .

 

MOTHERHEN BEING A PENSIONER I SHOWED THE LADY MY PASS.

 

IT'S ONLY FIFTY PENCE FOR YOU DEAR WHOO-HOO THOUGHT THIS YORKSHIRE LASS.

 

LOTS OF INTERESTING HISTORY I LEARNED OF THIS SEASIDE TOWN.

 

RELICS AND POSTERS OF ALSORTS WERE SCATTERED ALL AROUND.

 

SO I TOOK OUT MY DIDGY QUICKLY AND TOOK A FEW SANPS FOR YOU.

 

TO SHOW YOU WHAT IT USED TO BE LIKE WHEN A CHILD  AND WHAT WE WOULD DO.

 

THIS IS A TYPICAL PICTURE OF A DINING ROOM WHERE WE WOULD STAY.

 

FOR BED AND BREAKFAST AND EVENING MEAL JUST AS YOU WOULD TODAY.

 

 

THE OLD WOODEN TROLLEY WOULD STAND AT THE SIDE READY FOR LANDLADY SHE.

 

WOULD FILL IT WITH GOODIES AND THEN WALK AROUND WITH A GREAT BIG TEAPOT OF TEA  HE-HE.

 

 

ANYONE FOR  A CUPPA SHE WOULD SHOUT AS WE ATE OUR MEAL.

 

OR MAYBE JUST POUR ONE  OUT FOR YOU AND THE ATMOSPHERE WAS REAL.

 

AT THE BACK ON THE SIDEBOARD STOOD THE OLD RADIO PLAYING SOME OLD FASHIONED TUNES.

 

OR THE NEWS WOULD BE ON AND DAD WOULD SAY QUIET IF NOT HE WOULD REALY FUME. HE-HE.

 

 

 

 

 

AFTER OUR MEAL WE WOULD PESTER MUM FOR A NEW BUCKET AND SPADE.

 

HERES A SNAP OF THE OLD TIME TIN ONES WITH PATTERNS ON WHICH WERE MADE.

 

THE LITLE TIN SPADE WITH WOODEN  HANDLE NO PLASTIC WERE IN THEM DAYS.

 

DIGGING AWAY MAKING SAND CASTLES UNDERS THE HOT SUN RAYS.

 

 

AND WHILST WE BUILT OUR SANDCASTLES WE WOULD WATCH PUNCH AND JUDY SHOW.

 

 

MOTHER AND FATHER SAT BACK RELAXING IN THE BEACH HUT YOU MIGHT WELL KNOW HE-HE.

 

 

WHAT WONDERFUL MEMORIES FLASHED THROUGH MY MIND I HAD A TEAR IN MY EYE.

 

STILL FABULOUS MEMORIES I DON'T MIND TEARS WHEN IT'S THESE SORT WHICH  MAKE ME CRY.

 

KIOSKS WERE FULL OF ALSORTS OF THINGS  FROM THEM BYE GONE DAYS.

 

OLD COMICS PAPERS TOYS ETC SOME WONDERFUL WAR YEARS  DISPLAYS.

 

 

 

 

WHERE DID THE ORGAN GRINDER GET TO WITH HIS  CHEEKY MONKEY HE- HE.

 

I REMEMBER GIVING THE MONKEY A PENNY AND HE WOULD SNATCH IT FROM ME.

 

THEN HE'D DROP IT INTO THE LITTLE TIN MUG AND EVERYONE WOULD SING.

 

ALONG TO THE TUNES WHICH ECHOED OUT OH WHAT JOY IT DID BRING.

 

 

THERE WERE LOTS MORE IN THE MUSEUM PENNY SLOTS OF YESTERYEAR.

 

AND ON ENTRANCE THE LADY GAVE YOU SOME PENNIES TO TRY THEM OUT WHILST IN HERE.

 

 

LOOK WHO I SNAPPED TRYING HIS LUCK LITTLE THINGS PLEASE LITTLE MINDS.  HE-HE.

 

I HAD LOST TRACK OF MY ROOSTER BUT HE WASN'T HARD TO FIND. HE-HE.

 

I THOUGHT HE MIGHT BE ENJOYING HIMSELF LIKE OLD TIMES WHEN HE WAS A BOY.

 

POPPING HIS PENNIES IN ONE BY ONE THESE MACHINES BROUGHT KIDS SO MUCH JOY.

 

FROM THE MUSEUM WE WENT TO THE CRAFT MARKET IN THE GROUNDS ON SHOW.

 

SO WE STROLLED AROUND AT A  STEADY PACE TAKING THINGS NICE AND SLOW.

 

LOTS OF LOVELY THINGS WERE ON SALE A SELECTION HERE TO SHOW YOU.

 

PAINTINGS DOLLIES WOODEN GIFTS ALL HAND MADE THEY WERE TOO.

 

 

 

 

HANDBAGS AND PURSES OH! YES I LIKED THESE BUT NO I DIDN'T BUY.

 

OTHER THINGS EARLIER ON IN THE WEEK I HAD BOUGHT WHICH CAUGHT MOTHERHENS EYE.

 

ON ARRIVAL BACK AT THE FLAT WELL ROOSTER HANDED ME A SMALL BAG.

 

HE SAID IV'E BOUGHT YOU THIS LOVE AS ONE OF THESE YOU DON'T HAVE.

 

A TINY WOODEN CARVED BOOKMARK HE-HE OF ROOSTER HIMSELF .

 

THEY MUST HAVE SEEN US COMING HE-HE SO IV'E POPPED IT ON THE BOOKSHELF .

 

 

THE FINAL SNAP I HAVE TO SHOW YOU  REALY DID MAKE ME LAUGH.

 

IT REMINDED ME JUST HOW I USED TO LOOK IN THOSE DAYS BUT ON HERE I'M  NOT LAUGHING KATH. HE-HE.

 

A POSTCARD TELLING YOU HOW I FELT AND OFTEN NOWADAYS TOO.

 

WHEN IT'S TIME TO LEAVE AND COME HOME AGAIN WHEREVER IV'E BEEN BOO-HOO !!

 

 

 

                                HEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

 

 

I HOPE YOU ALL HAD A GOOD SPRING BANK HOLIDAY  I THOUGHT OF YOU OFTEN YOU KNOW.

 

I MISSED MY COMPUTER AND ALL YOUR POSTINGS BUT HAD ME A GREAT TIME AND SO.

 

NO FALLING DOWN AND NO LOST KEYS EVERYTHING WENT JUST FINE.

 

I HAVE LOTS MORE PICS TO SHOW YOU FRIENDS IN MORE OF " MY SIMPLE RHYMES".

 

           

           

 

"YESTERDAY"

     

 

 

I AM GOING AWAY AGAIN MY FRIENDS TOMORROW  WISH ME LUCK ON MY JOURNEY PLEASE.

 

I WON'T BE AROUND FOR ANOTHER WEEK AS I AM GOING TO DO THINGS WITH EASE.

 

YESTERDAY I WAS STRESSED TO THE FULL AS I WENT DOWN TOWN TO SHOP.

 

ON RETURNING HOME I REALISED MY HOUSE KEYS THEY WERE NOT.

 

INSIDE MY HANDBAG OR ANYWHERE I JUST COULDN'T FIND THEM AT ALL.

 

YES I SEEMED TO HAVE LOST THEM BUT I WAS HAPPY I DIDN'T HAVE A FALL.

 

 I SAT FOR A WHILE IN THE GARDEN PANICKING  AND  FEELING VERY LOW.

 

CRYING MY EYES OUT AS ALL MY NEIGHBOURS WERE OUT SO I COULDN'T GO.

 

ASKING THERE HELP OR ADVISE WHAT TO DO  THEN I REALISED MY  MOBILE PHONE.

 

I HAD IN MY BAG TO RING UP MY DAUGHTER AT WORK ASKING  HER TO COME HOME.

 

HER BOSS IS SO VERY GOOD TO HER AND SHE SAID YES GO LOOK AFTER MUM.

 

IT'S SOMETHING I AM SURE AT SOMETIME WE HAVE ALL GONE THROUGH AND DONE.

 

BUT NO I HAVE NEVER LOST MY KEYS FRIENDS TO MY HOME IN ALL 34 YEARS .

 

KNOWONE HAD A SPARE ONE YOU SEE SO THAT BROUGHT ON ALL THE TEARS.

 

MY DAUGHTER ARRIVED IN NO TIME AT ALL AND TOOK ME TO HER HOUSE.

 

THEN SHE WENT RUNNING EVERYWHERE ALL OVER LIKE A FIELD MOUSE.

 

SCURRYING IN THIS SHOP AND THAT SHOP  ASKING IF ANYONE HAD.

 

HANDED IN ANY KEYS AT ALL BUT ON RETURN HER  NEWS WAS BAD.

 

SHE SAID I AM EVER SO SORRY MUM BUT KNOWONE HAS FOUND THEM AT ALL.

 

WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO RING FOR A LOCKSMITH BE THE BILL LARGE OR SMALL.

 

WELL WE RANG AROUND WITH NO SUCCESS I DON'T THINK FOLKS WANT WORK TODAY.

 

SHE LEFT MESSAGES EVERYWHERE AND NO ANSWERS CAME BACK AT ALL OUR WAY.

 

FINALLY WE GOT SOME KIND GENTLEMAN TO COME  ALONG AND HELP AT LAST.

 

OH! WHAT A SIGH OF RELIEF THAT WAS FOR THIS OLD YORKSHIRE LASS.

 

MY HEAD WAS POUNDING WITH WORRY MY LIMBS ACHED FROM SITTING DOWN.

 

I COULDN'T REST AT ALL MY FRIENDS ON MY FACE I HAD A BIG FROWN.

 

YOU KNOW THATS NOT MOTHERHEN AT ALL NO MATTER HOW I TRIED.

 

I COULDN'T LAUGH AT ANYTHING YESTERDAY I SIMPLY JUST SAT AND CRIED.

 

DIDN'T I TELL YOU I WASN'T PLANNING ANYTHING MORE AGAIN.

 

WELL I DID PLAN TO GO TO TOWN YESTERDAY LOOK WHAT HAPPENED MORE WORRY AND PAIN.

 

I SOMETIMES THINK AS THE SAYING GOES " I MUST HAVE KILLED A ROBIN ".

 

BUT STILL I AM GOING AWAY MY FRIENDS AND I'M HOPING THAT I'M NOT SOBBING.

 

TOMORROW BEFORE I CATCH MY COACH TO GO TO THE SEASIDE AGAIN.

 

MY DAUGHTER I THINK WILL BE GLAD TO SEE THE BACK OF ME SHE'S GOING TO SPAIN.  HE-HE

 

OFF SHE IS GOING TO THERE VILLA NOT ME I AM GOING TO THE FLAT.

 

WHICH I LIVED AT PREVIOUSLY WITH ROOSTER AS I WANT  LOTS OF THIS AND THAT.

 

FROM AROUND THAT AREA I CAN FIND MORE CHOISE OF THINGS THAT I AM IN  NEED.

 

THOUGH I SHALL BE TAKING IT STEADY AND WALKING SLOWLY AND  NOT WITH SPEED. HE-HE.

 

I HAVE JUST CUT MY SIDE LAWNS TODAY SIDE AND FRONT BEFORE I GO ON MY TRIP.

 

ONE OR TWO LITTLE JOBS IN THE GARDEN AND A FEW SHRUBS IV'E SNIP SNIP SNIPPED

 

I MUST LEAVE IT TIDY AND LOOKING NEAT AND I HOPE BECAUSE OPEN PLAN.

 

ANY LOOSE DOGGIES DON'T LEAVE ME A PRESENT OR I MIGHT BE TO FAN....

 

AS I AM NOT A GOOD POOPER SCOOPER YOU SEE  IT WRENCHES MY TUM.

 

AND IF I FIND OUT WHO THE OWNERS ARE OH BOY WILL THERE BE SOME FUN. HE-HE.

 

THEY'LL GET A PRESENT FROM ME ONE DAY IN THERE LOVELY GARDENS YOU'LL SEE.

 

A TESCO CARRIER FULL OF GOOD STUFF THERE OWN MANURE SENT FROM ME.    HE-HE.

 

WHY DO WE GET THE ODD ONES WITH NO CONSIDERATION AT ALL.

 

FOR OUR GARDENS AND PROPERTIES AND PAVEMENTS THERE PETS FOULING LARGE OR SMALL.

 

WALKIES IT'S CALLED I DON'T HAVE A PET BUT I'M SURE IF I DID I WOULD TRY.

 

AND TAKE IT OUT ON A LEAD LIKE ONE SHOULD LEAVING THE GROUND CLEAN AND DRY.

 

SO I WON'T BE COMMENTING  FOR A WEEK IN YOUR BLOGS FRIENDS I'M SORRY TO SAY.

 

BUT I SHALL BE BACK DON'T WORRY CATCHING UP NEXT WEEK I THINK ON FRIDAY.

 

PLEASE SAY A PRAYER FOR A SAFE JOURNEY THIS TIME AND ALSO THAT I MIGHT FIND.

"THE DAY I SHOPPED FOR UNITS"

         

 

ANOTHER OF MY SHOPPING TRIPS  AND WHAT A SHOPPING TRIP TOO.

 

WHEN MOTHERHEN WENT FOR KITCHEN UNITS DOUBLE ONES I NEEDED TWO.

 

I GOT UP ON SATURDAY MORNING AND SET OFF THERE FOR NINE.

 

THE DOORS THEY WERE JUST OPENING SO  I WAS RIGHT ON TIME.

 

ROUND THE DIY STORE I WALKED  UP AND DOWN THE ISLES.

 

MY TROLLEY  IT WAS EMPTY I COULD SEE NOTHING THERE MY STYLE.

 

THEN I SPOTTED THE  WALL UNITS I WAS SEEKING FOR THE KITCHEN  TO PUT IN PLACE.

 

TO MATCH THE BASE ONES IN MY HOME SO A SMILE CAME TO MY FACE.

 

I HAD LOOKED AROUND  FOUR  WEEKS  NOW TO SEE IF I COULD FIND.

 

THE SAME ONES AS THE BASE I HAVE OR NEAR ENOUGH THAT  KIND.

 

THE BASE UNITS THEY WERE NEW YOU SEE BUT TWO WALL ONES WERN'T TOO GOOD.

 

SO I RIPPED THEM OUT VERY QUICKLY KNOWING THAT I WOULD.

 

REPLACE THEM WITH BRAND NEW ONES I KNEW THAT I COULD GET.

 

FROM SOMEWHERE BUT FORGOT WHERE I'D SEEN THEM LOOKING ROUND AS YET.

 

THEN I SPOTTED THEM SO I CALLED THE GUY  AND ASKED IF HE WOULD CHECK.

 

IF THEY HAD SOME OF THE WALL UNITS AS THERE WERE ONLY BASE ON THE DECK.

 

HE LOOKED ON THERE  COMPUTER AND SAID YES WE HAVE A FEW.

 

BUT THEY NEED TO BE CHECKED OFF THIS MORNING  AS THE DELIVERY IS ONLY NEW.

 

SO I ASKED WHEN COULD I BUY SOME HE SAID IN AN HOUR OR TWO.

 

I REPLIED I'LL CALL BACK AT T/TIME THEN BUT FIRST I WILL PAY YOU.

 

HE SAID WHEN YOU RETURN THEY'LL BE ON A TROLLEY JUST OVER  THIS WAY.

 

SO I PAID FOR THE UNITS AND OFF I WENT TO SPEND THE REST OF THE DAY  .

 

MARKING OUT WHERE THEY WOULD GO WHEN THEY WERE FITTED UP.

 

SORTING THIS AND THAT OUT AND WASHING ALL OF MY CUPS .

 

AND OTHER THINGS I HAD UNPACKED TO PLACE  INSIDE THEM TOO.

 

KNOWING   WHEN  FITTED ON THE WALL A LITTLE MORE SPACE.  WHOO-HOO!!

 

AROUND FLEW THE HANDS ON THE KITCHEN CLOCK AND THE TIME IT SEEMED TO FLY.

 

IT'S AMAZING WHEN YOUR BUSY HOW QUICKLY IT PASSES YOU BY.

 

SO OFF I SET EXCITED AND ARRIVED AT THE STORE ONCE MORE.

 

THE LADY WHO DID THE INVOICE  SAW ME COMING THROUGH THE DOOR.

 

HER FACE TO ME A VERY STEARN LOOK  I THOUGHT STRAIGHT AWAY SOMETHINGS WRONG.

 

WELL TELL ME ABOUT IT I GAVE HER MY INVOICE SHE SAID SORRY WE TOLD YOU WRONG.

 

WE HAVE ONLY ONE OF THOSE UNITS IN STOCK BUT MORE MAYBE HERE NEXT WEEK.

 

THE GUY WHO SERVED ME HAD GONE HOME AND NOT RANG ME I THOUGHT WHAT A  CHEEK.

 

SO SHE SENT TWO YOUNG MEN FOR THE UNIT THEY HAD AND I FOLLOWED BUT WENT FOR A HOE.

 

AS I WAS COMING UP THE KITCHEN ISLE I SAW THE LAD DROP MY BOX  SO.

 

I RAN STRAIGHT TO THE CHECKOUT TOLD THE LADY   I'M NOT HAVING THAT.

 

HE'S JUST DROPPED IT DOWN FROM THE RACK UP ON HIGH  AND YOUR NOT ROBBING THIS LAUGHING KATH.

 

I HAVE JUST SEEN HIM DROP IT AND HISMATE  WAS LAUGHING AND I AM MOST ANNOYED.

 

THE UNIT MIGHT BE BROKEN INSIDE  WHAT WALLY'S THEY ARE YOUV'E EMPLOYED.

 

SHOULDN'T THEY BE USING A FORK LIFT TRUCK OR SOMETHING TO LIFT THESE DOWN.

 

I TOLD HER AND ON MY FACE A STEARN LOOK AND A VERY NASTY FROWN.   HE-HE.

 

SHE LOOKED AT THE LADS AND THEY LOOKED AT ME SO  I POINTED TO THE BOX.

 

LOOK IT'S ALL BULGED AND TORN ON THE CORNER WOULDN'T YOU IF YOU'D HAD THAT KNOCK.

 

SO SHE LOOKED AT THE BOX INSIDE THE TEAR SAID YES I CAN SEE THE DOORS CHIPPED.

 

WELL ONE LAD  STEAMS OFF AND HE WAS GIVING HER A LOAD OF HASSLE AND LIP.

 

WHAT ARE SOME OF THESE YOUNG ONES LIKE THEY DO NOT SEEM TO WANT WORK.

 

ALL THEY DO IS MESS ABOUT THEY WERE A COUPLE OF  JERKS.

 

I HAD TO LAUGH AT HIM CHUNTERING  BUT THOUGHT TO MYSELF WELL  I NEVER.

 

I HAD WAITED ALL DAY AND BY NOW  MOTHEHEN WAS AT THE END OF HER TETHER.

 

EVENTUALLY ANOTHER GUY HE CAME BY AND SAID I'LL LOOK ON THE TOP SHELF.

 

OH! NO I THOUGHT NOT ANOTHER DROPPED BOX I WAS SAYING  TO MYSELF.  HE-HE.

 

WELL FINALLY THE GUY HE DID BRING ME ONE AND HE WAS POLITE AND NICE  .

 

I'LL ORDER SOME MORE AND IF DELIVERY IS LATE  YOU CAN HAVE THEM FOR HALF PRICE.

 

IT'S THE LEAST I  CAN OFFER YOU AS COMPENSATION SEEING AS YOUV'E HAD TO COME TWICE.

 

WHOO- HOO I WAS THINKING TO MYSELF WHAT A  LOVELY SUPRIZE.

 

THEY'LL BE WITH YOU  IN A COUPLE OF DAYS AND WE'LL DELIVER THEM DOWN YOUR WAY.

 

IF THERE NOT HERE ON TIME OR UNDELIVERED RING ME STRAIGHT UP OK!!

 

THE DELIVERY MAN WILL CHECK THEM WITH YOU SO YOU CAN LOOK AND  MAKE SURE.

 

EVERYTHING IS IN PERFECT CONDITION DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR DOOR.

 

WELL YOU CARN'T BE NO FAIRER THAN THAT I SAID SO SHAKE HANDS WITH ME IT'S A DEAL.

 

BEFORE I GO THOUGH PLEASE NOTE  ON THE INVOICE HALF PRICE  WITH  A GENUINE SEALHE-HE.

 

HE LOOKED AT ME AS THOUGH I'D GONE MAD I SAID WELL  I'D LIKE YOU TO KNOW.

 

KNOWONE ROBS MOTHERHEN AT ANYTIME WHEN SIGNED AND SEALED I WILL GO.   

 

                                     HE-HE

 

SO OFF I WENT FROM THE STORE MY FRIENDS I  KNOW I NOW HAD TO WAIT.

 

BUT I'VE LOOKED ALL OVER AND THESE UNITS ARE VERY MUCH OUT OF DATE.   HE-HE.

 

YOU CANNOT GET THEM TODAY IN MANY STORES FOR ALL THE NEW DESIGNS.

 

THEY'LL DO FOR MOTHERHEN AND THE THING IS THERE NEW AND I LIKE THE CLEAN LOOKING LINE.

 

THEY HOLD THE SAME AS THE NEW STYLES DO  AND I'M NOT FUSSY IN MY OLD AGE.

 

ABOUT ALL THE NEW DESIGNS OF THINGS AND EVERYTHING ESLE THATS THE RAGE.

 

I MAY CHANGE THE KITCHEN LATER WHEN I HAVE SETTLED IN MORE.

 

BUT MOTHERHEN DIDN'T WANT NEW UNITS WITH A BROKEN DOOR. HE-HE.

 

I HAVE SOME TILING TO DO YET ALSO AND PUT MY OWN STAMP ON THEM.

 

I MAY MAKE SOME NICE FRUIT TRANSFERS AGAIN AND ONE OR TWO MOTHERHENS HE-HE.

 

INSTEAD OF GOING HOME EMPTY HANDED I PICKED UP ONE OR TWO GREEN.

 

EASY CARE HOUSEPLANTS FOR THE KITCHEN TO REMIND ME THAT SHOPPING I'D BEEN.

 

 

 

 

THEN MOTHERHEN GOT A CALL MONDAY MORNING  BETWEEN TEN AND TWELVE THEY'D BE HERE.

 

TUESDAY MORNING  ON THE DOT THE MANAGER SAID HAVE NO FEAR.

 

SO I WAITED UNTIL THREE 'O' CLOCK MY  FRIENDS NO SIGN OF DELIVERY SO I.

 

RANG BACK THE MANAGER AND TOLD HIM MY THOUGHTS IN THE GRAPHIC YOU'LL SEE WITH YOUR EYE.

 

EVENTUALLY I GOT THEM DELIVERED AT FOUR  AND NO DAMAGE WAS DONE THIS TIME .

 

CHEAP AT HALF THE PRICE WHOO-HOO  AND A TALE FOR   " MY SIMPLE RHYMES" .
