And there was the way each man pronounced words ... plasterer and slaughterer ... the Two Ronnies would have had us in stitches.<br /><br />Hearing the slaughterer describing the way he butchered pigs, which arrived already dead at a slaughterhouse, put me off rashers of bacon for a time.<br />Hameldaemepal@gmailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231016503726428849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-41732575730712532432020-07-23T09:27:33.878+01:002020-07-23T09:27:33.878+01:00Are you interested in joining the illuminati broth...Are you interested in joining the illuminati brotherhood and make your dreams come true this is your chance to make it happen. contact me now and enjoy Benefits of being a member As a member you`ll get to enjoy many things name them cars, money, fame, popularity, houses, connections etc. - you will be given $130,000 every two weeks as a membership blessings, Own one of the big houses in town, including the juiciest mansions and villa. - Get connected to high-networth individuals in many professional sphere like Presidents, Legislators Senators, house of common reps, Judges, Magistrates, Ministers, Musicians, etc. - You get money to buy any thing you need and travel wherever you wish. - You get spiritual protection inbox me or send a friend request Become Illuminated and Join Us!!! email the illuminati official on if you are interestedĀ // // brightiluminati666@gmail.com//and you can also cont us on whats-appĀ +593960127139lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02807452527008360586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-72514743511852665312020-07-20T18:15:12.671+01:002020-07-20T18:15:12.671+01:00And once during in that first season they were the...And once during in that first season they were the top team.

If we should never hear from you again, that would be my bad luck. *Be ahead of all partings,* said Rilke, but try as I may, I can never manage it.

Mainly be...I love uneventful days, meandering days. Mainly because I can't so much as set foot out of the house before an adventure unfolds. Even the door bell ringing will have repercussions. One of my close neighbours handing me a child for the day. Just like that. Surprise. Thing is I work from home. The "working" bit not registering with anyone. No one. Basically, to them I am at home. Having tons of time. It's ok. What I miss out on during the day I can make up for in the evening and at night. Sweetly, a few years ago, the Angel remarked that whilst we live pretty much center of city albeit in a quiet part I have made our immediate surroundings into something akin to a village. I know everyone and everyone knows me. Which is why, when on an hour's mission (I walk everywhere being so central), I need to build in at least an extra half hour for any errant. In that way lockdown was eerie. Was I the last person in the neighbourhood? Notwithstanding the Angel drily remarking that if everyone did what I was doing it'd be as "normal". Talking of which, just having come back from town, the "new" normal is disgusting. Everyone piling on top of each other. Social distancing? You should be so lucky. I am dancing something more challenging than the Tango to dodge other people. At John Lewis and their "little" in house Waitrose (opened since 25 June - thank the Lord) they go the extra mile and won't let you in without a thorough hand wringing disinfecting. <br /><br />Should you never hear from me again it's because someone scraped me off the floor and deposed of me. SAFELY.<br /><br />In other news: The Angel is hiking (for a few days) in Wales. Nowhere near John (the gentle one, not the learned one).<br /><br />Hope Sunday finds you in better spirits, YP.<br /><br /><br />UUrsulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722046288685936851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-13997559743305599842020-07-19T15:30:29.453+01:002020-07-19T15:30:29.453+01:00Sounds like my Saturday, except when I went to tak...Sounds like my Saturday, except when I went to take the dogs for a walk after supper, Lucy attacked Heidi.
