Dear Readers, good evening to YOU all.
I didn't want go to Studio today, I heard the weather forecast and whilst it does not seem to getting as cold as 'they' said it would, at 9.00am this morning I was perched on top of cupboard door in our bedroom with delicious warm air flowing in my direction from radiator below, suffice to say that I let HER go to work by herself.
SHE doesn't need ME to get HER onto the # 19 bus, SHE's taken that bus for more years than it would be polite to tell YOU. Off SHE trundled with ole faithful Wicker Trolley and I settled down to a peaceful day. Very good for ONE to have a day like this occasionally, to do claws and preen new feathers that are coming through. To doze and dream of old friends and of warmer times.
Before too long, I heard the noise of ole Wicker and HER coming down the stairs, goodness ME, I did have a long nap! SHE always calls ME when SHE is inside the house and I fly to top of bedroom door to welcome HER back... oh, it makes MY heart SO glad to see HER, even after a short space of time.. YOU see, Dear Reader, SHE maybe human but SHE is MY mum and I do so LURVE HER very much.
Hungry and thirsty WE both were, so it is a simple thing of opening kitchen door and stepping inside to YumYum HQ, everything was neat and tidy, WE eat left-overs in this house, SHE is frugal and doesn't believe in wasting food... what have WE got for tonight's supper?
Well, it is Ravioli with a thickening of last night's mashed Sweet Potato and a bit of Carrot, with a topping of Chilli and parmesan flakes. Good stuff! I hopped onto top of fridge and whilst SHE got the Ravioli and the Carrot and Sweet Potato together, SHE gave ME first course which was a slice of Rye and Sunflower Bread.
Delicious nibble nibble stuff it is too... then SHE gave ME three WHOLE Ravioli, Carrot and Sweet Potato and WE settled down to eat our supper. SHE eats faster than I do and went to get basket, basket slides into Wicker and is very useful, basket had a newspaper in it, SHE made herself comfy and making sure that I ate supper instead of playing fool, SHE decided to read ME a couple of articles.
And this is when I started to laugh.. for a certain supermarket chain that shall be nameless but whose name begins with T and ends in O, has employed a 'Pie Spy'. WE want to know, what is this woman's training? Did she do it in Melton Mowbray.. no, she comes from St.Albans.
All I know about St.Albans is that it is in Hertfordshire, near to where SHE went to school at Tring, that a descendant of King Charles 2nd carries the Title of Duke of St.Albans, in fact, the current Duke dined in this home at the party given to celebrate Peter Pigeon's Seventh Birthday and in honour of the occasion, Duke wore red socks!
WE were not aware that St.Albans has a Pie Spy School.. but who knows, maybe they do?
The other piece that made me laugh is headed "I devour my paper hot off the press...".
This woman, who is pregnant, eats newspaper, she munches away at her paper and just in case she gets hungry when sheis out and about, she keeps some shredded pages in a plastic bag in her basket, words failed. I was laughing too much!
And her paper of choice is The Dundee Evening Telegraph, she says that when her three children are norty and mix up this paper with others, of obviously inferior taste, she can tell which is which. I rest MY case Your Honour, the woman is a nutter... a paper munching nutter. What MUST her children feel like when they are out and about and they see other people watching her as she pops a couple of pages into her mouth? Eh... does she think about her unborn babe having to read this Scottish Weekly? Poor wee bairn, is what WE say.
One of OUR Readers up in Welsh Wales, he must be a bit shy because although he reads us, he hasn't put his wing up and joined up as a Follower... obviously NO RED'Y for him then! Anyway, he asked HER what does SHE grow on the Allotment? No, it is not a question of what does SHE grow, it is a question of what DOESN'T SHE grow.
No allotmenteering for HER tomorrow, Amber sent a message asking HER if SHE would go and help them put the Charity shop back together again tomorrow morning, there is 'A grand re-opening tomorrow in the afternoon', if it is a reasonable day on Sunday, SHE will go to the Allotment and do lots of work, Asparagus has to be cut down as do Autumn Raspberries, SHE gave all of HER Roses a 'wind pruning' in November and will do the next hard prune in March.
WE are going to finish a book that SHE has to return to the Libary, SHE is so grateful that HER Library hasn't been closed. For it is an extremely busy one and they make very good use of the excellent facilities and space. Lovely Librarians as well, so kind and helpful... SHE is very grateful to her parents for giving HER this love of books.
On that happy note, WE hope YOU stay snug... Lovely Assistant is sleeping in a Yurt... Dear Man, mad as a hatter!
GeeGee Parrot.
