EAT WHEAT = FEEL DREADFUL! WHAT BIT OF 'DON'T EAT WHEAT' DOES SHE NOT UNDERSTAND?

She.. aka my mum.. is very fond of her grub - and yours too if she could get at it! And upon arriving at Borough yesterday she was greeted with lots of kisses and a surprise package from Daniel, who is a Master Baker.

"Oooh.. lookielookie, something extra specially delicious.. Cherry Crumble" and down the hatch it went. Did she think one thought of how crumble could possibly be made without flour? No. So, today has been a write-off as far as anything sensible being done.

She just about managed to put a new belt on to the vacuum and do some of that and she has done a load of washing and put another pile of things away but she hasn't really been 'with it' in fact, I would go so far as to say she's been decidedly without it, whatever 'it' is, that humans are supposed to have.

But let's go back to Borough for something very funny happened when she sat down to eat the Cherry Crumble, her pride was severely dented, for she sat down on a trolley, thinking that the huge yellow storage box at the other end was full and that it would act as a counter balance.

Well, of course, you've guessed it wasn't and she was deposited onto the floor in very ungainly heap, whereupon she got the giggles, could not get up and had to be pulled up by three men! Three! HOW undignified was that?

The three men were Joe, George from the Linseed Oil and the nameless but the very kind tall man from the Parmesan and Proscutto counter which is directly behind George. "Too much Crumble" said cheeky George!

But at least it wasn't as bad as eating the loaves of bread that she lusts after, so would you if you saw them, they're made with cheese and olives and they're very slurpicious. So she was able to make enough sense when she called Anita and went underground and got down to Fulham Broadway within forty five minutes to get her hair cut and coloured.

Yesterday was a glorious day weather wise, I am hoping that it will be the same tomorrow and that I will go on a jaunt with her to Chiswick Farmer's Market and onto the allotment for a day of sunshine and Autumnal breezes.

For soon it will be October, which is the second month of Autumn and how many nice days will we have left before old man Winter comes to town with his evil friends, Mr. Frost and Ice and Chilly-Billy Wind? Take advantage of these nice days, if you're having any and get out and about!

Don't eat wheat.. and get foggy-brained.. it really does do most peculiar things to her body and brain and it takes a good 24 hours plus to get out of her system. Anyway, I have managed to loll about on her head for a fair bit today so it hasn't been wasted.

Parents, ah well, they're not always the brightest bunnies on the beach are they, were yours?

GeeGee Parrot.
