DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE IS A BREED OF HUMAN 'SLOTHS'.

And one lives in deepest Knightsbridge in our home, yes Dear Readers, it's her.. aka mother.

Very idle she has been today, she went to get dressed and go out to do what she had to do but upon opening the front door, to take in a package that had been left on our doorstep, she took one look at the pouring rain, shivered, shut the door and squeaked "nah, I ain't out there, we don't really need anything GeeGeeBugBug and my new specs can wait until Monday, can't they" and after spending a penny, she went back to bed! 

Mind you.. I would't have gone out there either. The temperature hasn't been above 5 degrees at any time today and with heavy rain being driven by a strong wind, indoors was definitely the place to be.

She spoke with Michele in Pewsey this morning to check that a package had arrived, it had, and was told that she and Peter were on grandparent duty to watch Freddie playing hockey today.

She mentally 'shivered' as she remembered playing her last hockey match at Underhill, the school she was at before being sent up to Arts Educational Trust at Tring Park.

Of being hit on the head, her forehead being split open and being badly concussed by a member of the other team.. Elizabeth de la Fontaine.. 'funny' how she's always remembered that girls' name and can still see her face, well, you probably would too, she still has the scar.

In the package were two magazines. She read the first which contained an article on Princess Loewenstein which interested her for she had met them (Prince Rupert and Princess Josephine) in the late 60's.

Prince Rupert had been the financial manager of the Rolling Stones, he had got them out of two very dodgy contracts and made them rich.. very rich indeed. 

The other was on London in the '60s, part of the article was about Michael Rainey, he had run a boutique called 'Hung on You', in Cale Street, Chelsea and at that time was married Jane Ormsby-Gore, a daughter of Lord Harlech, the British Ambassador to Washington during the Kennedy era and was the half brother of a teenage friend when her family lived in Sandwich.

 Reading the magazines has delayed the viewing of second disc of Wild China, therefore, she's postponing this for an evening next weekend, tonight we'll watch a film on television or a dvd film for she's finished her stache of library books and has to change them.

The library opens at noon on Sundays.. there'll be no mad morning rush to get out of the front door! Joke..

But it is time for a snack, perhaps some cold gammon with hot vegetables.. yum.. that would be exceedingly tasty, would it not?

But first I have to get my 'sloth' out of bed and into yumyum producing mode. Wish me luck!

GeeGee Parrot.
