NEW FLOORS, EXOTIC CEILINGS & HER MOST FAVOURITE JOKE..

Sunny day here.. makes such a change! All is well.. SHE has been out and about and is looking, I am happy to report, less like the Michelin tyre man.. fewer layers of clothing means that SHE is beginning to resemble HER old self. 

WE know Pegeen is in Gallerie Lafayette, she has sent us a mini video showing the store and the exquisite domed, glass ceiling!

Mr. Sam is in NYC, he called last night for a quick chat, WE hope that all went well at your appointment Sam and that the name of the other elephant will come to mind.

Miz Diane is recuperating from Easter and multiple 'small' people getting, I would think, grossly over excited by the Easter Egg Hunt and traipsing mud in onto her new downstairs floor.

Talking of floors.. Leigh has a new kitchen and dining room floor! 

WE will report upon this as SHE has been bidden to supper tonight in order to celebrate it but it is not just the case of laying a floor.

Oh no.. for as anyone who has ever done any renovation work will tell YOU there is a lot of hard and usually grubby stuff to do before YOU get to the fun bit.

The old floor, for example, has to be taken up and everything that is underneath to be made good.. this involves joists and this leads ME to this.. HER most favourite joke of all..

Are YOU ready.. 

A building company were advertising for some new workers, but times were very busy in the construction world and not many men turned up to be interviewed.

However, the site foreman worked through those that were there and then he came to Irish Patrick.. who was very quiet and did not speak so freely of himself. 

The manager asked him "Now Patrick, please would you tell me the difference between a joist and a girder".

Patrick looked at the manager, away down to his hands and said..
"Well.. I recall that Joyce wrote Ulysses and Goethe wrote Faust".

BoomBoom.. Basil Brush used to say. WE say have a happy day..

GeeGee Parrot.

  1. Loved the joke! A v. good pun. Yes, home redec is just blankety blank horrid to tolerate, but oh so worth it. The mud is nothing to what Mz. Diane has had to tolerate this entire week.....puppy pooh & pee wherever. I say! Dog lovers just must be the finest kind to go through that. My English DL will recuperate her French Bulldog 8 week old puppy tomorrow. She's up for a big job training him. Did you know that a French Bulldog has NO BARK, & no voice, at all? This is a trait of the breed. Get that: a dog with no bark. Will wonders never cease?
