Hello Dear Readers.. and how is this new year of 2014 treating YOU so far?
Well.. WE have several reasons to be cheerful.. and here they are but not in order of their level of excitement or their importance.
First up comes.. SHE has shopped for many years at a wonderful place called Wilkinsons but had to travel to East Ham, on the other side of London, as there was no branch of this family run business located in central London.
Why was it worth travelling so far for one shop?
Well, YOU see SHE suffers from a very serious complaint.. it is called 'Shiny Sink Syndrome' and they are the only shop that sell the original and very best scouring powder.
VIM is the very best thing for cleaning porcelain and stainless steel basin and sinks and getting that lovely shiny shine!
And guess what? Why, just before Christmas they opened a new shop at Fulham Broadway but, of course, Vim is not the only product they sell, they sell almost everything at good prices and their quality is excellent, as is the 'efficiency and the niceness' of their staff.
Now with a new supply of this wonderful scourer, YumYum HQ is gleaming and very shiny indeedy!
The second reason to be cheerful is that Richard, the gas boiler repair man, managed to re-light the pilot light and warmth is creeping back into OUR bones.
Whilst he was speaking sharply to that norty old boiler and getting it to behave properly, SHE got out old Duraglit and polished the Copper jelly moulds which hang on the back wall, then a couple of pieces of silver.. there is nothing prettier than shiny things.. but shining things makes cloths dirty, so SHE popped them into a large pan and put them on to boil.
He told HER to keep an eye on pilot light as he said it may need a new thermo-couple, this is the mechanism which controls the gas flow, if this behaves badly, it goes out and a state of extreme miserableness and that old fool, Mr. Woe, enters the house.
OUR third reason to be cheerful is being lucky enough to catch a certain television programme
WE don't know if YOU know the actor called Robson Green, but apart from being a serious thespian, he is an avid Angler and he has a programme called Extreme Fishing.
In his show he travels the world to fish with the local fishermen for their local fish and usually it is funny, as in funny ha-ha, not funny peculiar!
The one WE are watching tonight is very funny. Robson is pitting his fishing skills against locals and oh lordy, the sight of him stumbling around in a freezing Greenland river trying to catch an Artic Chard by tickling it with his hand is priceless.
The fourth reason to be cheerful is HER beloved
Irena who works at a barbers called Louis, 87. Lillie Road, London SW6. She has cut HER hair for a couple of years and did a marvellous cut this afternoon.. "thanks Irena, you are a star".
The fifth reason to be cheerful? SHE and old wicker pottered along the North End Road, some delicious Piggy Pork came from Dickensons and a packet of long cut Smoked Salmon from the fishmonger, oh, how lovely, it is from the Coln Valley Smokehouse!
SHE sold a lot of their very delicious, tasty merchandise almost thirty years ago when SHE had a company called the Flying Fish. Which I will tell YOU about in another Tale.
At five of the clock, SHE and wicker bounced down the stairs and came through the door.. and then SHE really had a reason to be very cheerful.
For SHE smelt smoke and realised, to HER horror, that SHE had left the pan boiling on the stove when SHE left the flat at one of the clock.
The cloths were burnt to ashes but the kitchen had not caught fire and I had not died of smoke inhalation. So, I think YOU will all agree..
That WE have six reasons to be very cheerful.
