THERE THEY WERE.. DIGGING A HOLE IN WATERPROOF TROUSERS..

Three large men were digging a massive hole and they were wearing waterproof clothes.. so not being known for being backwards in coming forwards.. keep up there at the back.. she went and asked the biggest one "excuse me but where did you guys get your waterproofs?"

The giant turned and looked down at her as if he couldn't believe it, a person was actually talking to him! He smiled and said "actually miss, the best place to go for stuff like this is just down the street near to Morrisons at Streatham Common" and bingo! She knew exactly where he meant.. so she said "thank you" and hopped on a bus going down the hill towards the Common.

And there she found exactly what the guys had had on, albeit, in a much smaller size.. for £15.00! This, Dear Readers, is significantly cheaper than Barbours waterproofs or any of the other makers of waterproofs.

She had such a pleasant lunch with Ann in a coffee bar / food eating place, she had a delicious ham and mushroom omelette, it was soft and a little bit runny, just as she likes them with a helping of salad on the side.. chat chat they went until "goodness me, is that the time" and out and off they scampered to go to the Dementia Group.

Afterwards, it was when she was leaving and turning into Streatham High Road bound for Morrisons that she found the guys digging the hole and it all worked out splendidly, now it can rain and she won't get wet digging and be clammy on the bus!

Bad and sad news.. 'her' Morrisons at Streatham Common is being closed.. boohoo.. the lovely gang aka team is being disbanded and the store premises are being sold. Apparently the parent company have had an offer for the real estate which is too good for them to turn down.

But why is there such a difference in the price between Ruby Grapefruit which sell at anywhere between 40 to 55p and the regular sour Grapefruit which are anywhere from 28 to 40p? She pounced on a pile of these at a very cheap price (why pay more when you can pay less) in Morrisons, she had already 'scored' in her favourite 99p Store when she discovered a huge box of 110 Finish dishwasher tablets for £8.00!

Luckily she had old WW with her! She had taken a lot of windfall apples for Ann and with those handed over, old WW, who incidentally had loved being soaked in the rain yesterday, was empty which was a good thing as she'd raided Lidl, 99p Store and Morrisons before climbing aboard a 319 to bring her home.

It was such a lovely day. The sun actually had a bit of warmth in it, birds were singing, there were conkers galore all over the pavement brought down by the hevy rain and strong winds and both she and Ann pounced on them for moth hate conkers.

Goodness me, where did the week go? Tomorrow is Friday! She's gardening tomorrow and Saturday, Sunday she's meeting Goaty Mum aka Debbie at the Parson's Green Farmer's Market.

Then.. hey presto.. hey-li-cheese, it's the start of another week! Fiddle-the-diddle goodness me!

GeeGee Parrot.
