Mr. Robert Fisher and his compliment..

Where to begin.. I suppose at the beginning is the best place.. otherwise I will have YOU, Dear Reader, very confused..

But first I will explain the title of this post.. WE don't know Mr. Robert Miller but Joanna of La Vie en Rose Blog does and he wrote an extremely complimentary comment in an email to her.. and the comment was about MY blog!

And that is all what was needed.. to motivate a fat grey parrot aka ME and an old woman aka HER back into blog writing mode.. so here WE are Dear Reader.. back in print.

"Happy days are here again".. apologies but I don't know any more words of this tune.. 

The September weather was simply glorious for which SHE was grateful.. YOU see HER darling and most beloved Dagga-the-Parrot died nine years ago on 9/11/2004 and SHE makes a point of spending the day out at the garden with HIM.. yes, HE is buried at the allotment. 

This year was a particularly beautiful day, apples were ripening and the pears would have been 
wonderful.. if some evil person had not stripped every single fruit off the trees..

SHE was not a happy gardener as some of them should not be picked until October.. some were still so small.. but the thieves did not care.. every one was stolen.. grrrr.

Anyway, much work has been done and new beds 
made. SHE is clearing where the raspberries are, they were awful this year and SHE wondered why and then realised, of course, they are at least twelve years old! Time for new canes.

So where they are now is going to be where SHE will build a Solar House.. a totally different shape to the traditional green house. SHE will plant new autumn raspberry canes on the old potato and bean area.

October.. more of the same.. SHE is back working for Trinity Hospice but in a different location.. this is much nearer to home.. a fast ten minute walk from door to door. So no waiting for buses in cold or wet winter weather.

Middle of October brought a huge surprise.. a telephone call from a client of long ago.. they want HER to come out of retirement for a job. SHE asked about.. found out that SHE could get some of the old team together, enough to handle this.. SHE will know more in the New Year

End of October.. ah well.. what can I say.. it is never easy.. Constance, beloved Bill, Edgar, Suzan aka Moley.. they all died in the latter part of the 
month.

Then this last week.. SHE went in to work and upon greeting HER 'boss' said "are you ok?".. oh dear Dear Readers.. poor lovely boss had had her elder sister die in front of her.. aged seventy and in good health.. 

I have written this before and I probably will again.. as the last line of Teenage Wedding goes.. "You never can tell".. if YOU love someone.. tell them.. don't have regrets because YOU never did.

I tell HER all the time.. when I am not giving HER a hard time because SHE is being norty.. 

This month SHE is off to join up with Bill's family, it was going to be New York City and Washington DC but his sister thinks that it would be too sad and is thinking of somewhere else.. it is so sweet of them.. ten years, sometimes it seems just like last year and sometimes.. much longer.

So there YOU are.. well, of course, lots and lots of 'other' stuff has happened but it is nearly eight of the clock, aka supper time, so WE are heading for Yumyum HQ.. to eat delicious Freekeh Wheat.. MY latest passion.. with steamed vegetables.

I hope that YOU, wherever YOU are, also have something delicious to eat today.. I am happy as I saw that WE have a golden SpinyApple to break that norty fast tomorrow morning.. YumYum.

PipPip.. "Thank YOU Mr. Fisher".

GeeGee Parrot.
