They had lots to talk about these two old dears, well, Debbie isn't as old as mum but everyone's truly ancient compared to me, for as you know, I am not yet even a teenager!
Anyway, having greeted mum with a hug and a kiss, Debbie shot off to the CoffeeShot van and returned with delicious coffees and two very scrummy cherry and dark chocolate, non wheat, vegan brownies. Oh slurp!
Much laughter and talk went on and then, somehow, the subject came up on the difference between men and women. Debbie grinned and said "There's one thing that men do that women don't, do you know what it is?" My mum thought about what it could possibly be and then said "no, tell me".
"They put the hot tea cosy on their heads when they take it off the teapot", well, the squeals could have been heard down on Parson's Green they both laughed so much! "Have you ever put a hot tea cosy on your head" asked Debbie.. "No", said my mum.. to which Debbie replied "you see, it's a man thing".
Mum thought about our tea cosy, it is a huge, life sized grey chicken and realised that it would keep her head warm in winter whilst she was reading in bed but that I would certainly have a great deal to say about such an interloper taking over my favourite perch.
Moving onto today, we were promised a HOT day! Huh, well, it was sunny alright but there were lots of clouds in the sky when she went out at 11.00am, she's back now, the sun has disappeared and it's as dull as ditch water out there. There's a very 'brisk', (read cold) westerly wind blowing and she's glad that she went to the library early and that she has no reason to have to go out again.
Tomorrow she has to take herself off to see the gym manager with reference to starting her exercise, then she'll go, if she can remember where she put the keys to the gate and to Little Shed, to the allotment to start the fruit tree pruning, that is if it ain't blowing a gale or freezing cold. For it isn't much fun travelling for an hour only to be rained upon or to be frozen solid!
But before that, she has two letters to write and to make a new batch of tooth powder. So that's what's a'going on around here, we are gainfully employed, me keeping her head warm and her tapping my blog out on iPad for you.. chirp.
GeeGee Parrot.
