Turning back the time..

Did you remember? Or have you been out and about and wondered where everyone was? The clocks went back at 01.00am this morning and it is a bit strange to have her still lolling about but she will soon be off to eat chilli dumplings so this is a short post.

Bad Blogspot has or rather is, playing up, she is mighty miffed to be only able to use this mini print as nothing annoys her more. A blog she likes very much is written in the tinest print, so she has to 'pull' the iPad's screen to its' maximum width in order to read the blog.. not an easy read! Apologies..

But life is good.. she has had some wonderful (as in happy and also as in hysterically funny haha) things happen recently.

First up.. was a telephone call from her most beloved Tom Lampson in NYC.. for no reason other than he wanted to chat with her. Now HOW very nice was that.. it gave her such a happy surprise to see his number come up on the screen. 

Next was being given the most delicious two cheese, sage and other ingredients Muffin yesterday by dear goaty mum Debbie. She called into see her at the Nottinghill Gate Farmer's Market, (behind Waterstones) on her way to Garcia Brothers on Portobello Road. They are a wonderful purveyor of all types of Spanish food and she was on the hunt for Boqueronies.. aka Anchovies.. slurp-the-durp indeed.

So having been handed this delicious Muffin, she was mighty glad she had a gift for Debbie.. they are such foodies these two women.. if it is Marylebone.. it must be Dumplings with Chilli.. If it is Parson's Green.. it must be cake from HoneyPie Bakery, Brixton meant Falafel & Harissa.. sigh.. they don't do Brixton any longer

Next up was a hysterical email.. from some person whom she has never heard asking her if she would like to do some volunteer work. Now, I KNOW you are all thinking "what's funny about that?", well, you see, she HAS been doing voluntary work for this company for nearly five years.

Moving swiftly along before she starts to laugh again.. 

So there you are.. but life for everyone is not so happy.. dearest Leigh is in such pain and is scared by having very unpleasant symptoms and she is due to see a Medical team tomorrow and so we are sending a BIG thank you to dearest Caroline B. in Exeter who reminded her of the name of the Homeopathic Paramedic Rescue Remedy.

And meanwhile, in an hospital in London, there is Sharon. 

If you are upto date and speed with my Blog you will have read of the appalling road traffic accident in which Sharon was hit head on, her car flipped over onto its' roof, it burst into flames, her life was saved by other motorists who, thank God, righted her car and they had bottles of water and a small fire extinguisher with which they put out the fire.

She was airlifted to the London hospital.. with multiple fractures.. All because a man was driving too fast.. I've said before and I will say it again.. Speed kills, this woman's life has, forever, been changed and damaged.

BECAUSE YOUR CAR CAN GO AT A 100 MILES AN HOUR, YOU DON'T HAVE TO..

I am off to doze on pole, she is off to Marylebone with two bottles, one of which is dark red and slender, the other is brown and fat with a pump, I wonder what's inside them? 

But they both look as if Slurp would be a good word to use about and with their contents!

GeeGee Parrot.
