HOPPIN & A'BOPPIN & A'JUMPING ABOUT..

Dear Readers, WE know not where YOU are but here, in deepest Knightsbridge, it is COLD AND VERY WET..  SHE had thought about going out but realised SHE needed NOT ONE THING.. so changed plans and headed for YumYum HQ.

Oh dear.. I fear these past few days have rattled HER brain.. singular.. heeheeee!

For whilst SHE was a'brewing pots of HER scrummydumptious Crystallised Ginger, SpinyApple and Orange Peel.. I think SHE lost the plot.. SHE grabbed ME, whisked ME upside down and did Rock-around-the-YumYumHQ.. such cheek.. how undignified, supposing someone had lifted off the top of OUR house and been privy to MY embarrassment?

I blame Hugo for this.. it is entirely HIS fault! For he used to catch hold of Constance's hand and dance with her.. it mattered not where they were.. usually in the kitchen where she always had a radio playing.. but off they would go for a few minutes.. then he would give her a kiss and they would go back to they had been doing before.. sweet.

What are YOU a'doing today?  WE know Joanna has Mister Plumber doing plumbing work and some friends are back at work, when SHE was working SHE used to give the team a holiday and then they would come back to work on the first Monday after the New Year.. a few of the team travelled back to their families whose homes were in Turkey and France.

WE are not doing much.. WE are lazing about, if Truth would be told, which it always should be.. many, many books have been read and WE may end up with oblong eyes from the amount of films that WE have watched on HER television!

SHE has got HER nose into European History at the moment.. mostly of the 20th Century. None of it is 'light entertainment' in the slightest.. ugh, man's inhumanity to man.. 'BAD FAITH' by Carmen Callil was gruesome and now SHE is reading 'A WOMAN IN BERLIN' an anonymous diary written in 1945 during the Fall of Berlin.

So to watch 'Singing in the Rain' and 'An American in Paris' have been a pure delight.

SHE goes back to work next week, would love to go to look at garden.. but to journey for an hour to trudge through mud and not be able to do anything when SHE gets there.. makes NO sense!!

SHE has friends coming to stay in January.. I must remind HER to switch Mister Boiler on.. as they are probably used to over heated homes and wearing far fewer clothes than WE do when WE are inside. I am growing more fluffy chest feathers to keep ME warm. And SHE is certainly 'stouter' than SHE was in the Summer!

Off WE go.. crystallising fruit waits for no woman.. oh, I do LURVE that Ginger!

GeeGee Parrot.
