Living with my mum is an aquired art! You have to have your wits, or rather, I have to have my wits about me at all times. For she is only serious about serious things and, therefore, there is an awful lot of 'foolery' that goes on around here.
Today she was given a wonderful example that a friend of hers is of the same disposition.. read on Dear Readers.. read on and I defy you to have a straight face at the end of it.
She was told that she was being given a sum of money ~ hold your horses for it is not enough to run away from it all with ~ that she could keep it and spend it on sweets and comics!
Oh, that did make her laugh, so much so that she woke me up! For she read it this morning when she got up at Sparrowsfart.. five of the clock.. you may well ask, what on earth was she doing getting up at such a gruesome hour!
She had had the weirdest dream.. it seemed to go on all night long, it involved a delivery of kitchen units that were then put into our bedroom, which was empty.. huh? But they were far too large for our YumYum HQ, so who knows what this dream was about, for we certainly don't!
Anyway, we did get a delivery today and now we hope that the owner will be here on time between 6.30 ~ 7.00 this evening to take it away. So maybe that's what kicked off the kitchen unit dream, who knows.
What no one seems to know, is what the weather is doing? Last Friday we were supposed to be being struck with violent thunderstorms, we weren't, for we didn't get any rain, not one drop of rain fell. The same today, as of midday, we were supposedly getting torrential rain with thunder and hail.. yes.. they said we'd have hail today.
Well, she's been pottering about outside ever since eleven of the morning clock and it is now nearly four of the afternoon clock and she has yet to see a drop of rain drop on the pavement, let alone a hail stone bounce along the street!
Who trains these people? Are they're responsible folk? Where do the powers that are find them?
We are now tired.. sleepy.. for we don't know about you but we are certainly not used to getting up seven hours before midday.. so we are going to have an afternoon siesta.. aka a little zizz. We also ate a huge amount of garlic with a large plate of steamed Chinese vegetables and as every Greek mother knows, that is how you get your children to have a quiet time and be sleepy after lunch.
She'll set the alarm for 18.15 so that she'll be awake to give the box to its' owner when he comes to collect it but now it's snooze time for us folks.. zizz.. zizz.
GeeGee Parrot.

PostScript: Her response was "miss, could I spend it on f-artichokes".. you see what I have to live with.
