4 August
Well that was different; The cheapest fuel
within our area is on the A5, about three miles from us. This afternoon I
needed to get some diesel and at £1.15 a litre at the local BP place, I drove
that bit further for it. Petrol was £1.15; diesel was £1.11; yes, you did read that
right, £1.11. The diesel was cheaper. I’m not complaining of course, but I thought you
might like to hear about it.
Come back
June, all is forgiven. June is the lady who lived two doors down from us until
this January, when she moved away. The lady who has moved into June old place
seemed nice enough to start with; at least that is what we first thought. Just
lately she is starting to turn very funny and strange. Take this morning for
example; she did some washing and went out and pegged it out in the communal
drying area. OK fine, nowt wrong with that of course.
But what
we then saw was that she was pegging out just a couple of items in the middle
of one line, then the same on another one and again the same on the third one.
As it was we had done a load of washing too, so Jan went and asked her not to
spread her washing out so much so others could use the lines too. The lady went
mad at Jan and refused to do so. What we didn’t know at that time was that Kath
had to ask her not to do so last week sometime. I suppose now she is getting
the idea that everyone is ganging up on her. Whatever … … …
Because
of all the work being done both pedestrian gates to the flats are being left
open so the workers and come and go as they want. So there we were sitting
quietly this afternoon when I heard raised voices out back. A young lass from
across the road had decided that she would take her dog out and walk through
the gates. Kath asked her not as the area is residents only, opps, the lass
went daft too and upset Kath by using the f-word at her. Kath is in her 80s and
there is no excuse for such language to used towards her.
It seem
that we tend to get these times happen in a clump. This place is a nice quiet
place usually but we do get the occasional bout of madness. I’m thinking its
near time for the guy above to kick off again and for the lass four doors to
fall out with her sister again. The feud between them has been going on for
around ten years now. That is one we keep well out of the way of.
On to a
photo then …
A shot from the Gurkha day a couple of months ago.
Today’s
funny …
At the
end of the age when all the believers were standing in line waiting to get into
heaven, God appeared and said, "I want all the men to form two lines. One
line will be for the men who were the true heads of their households. The other
will be for the men who were dominated by their wives."
God
continued, "I want all the women to report to St. Peter." The women
left and the men formed two lines. The line of men who were dominated by their
wives was seemingly unending. The line of men who were the true head of their
household had one man in it.
God said
to the first line, "You men ought to be ashamed or yourselves. I appointed
you to be the heads of your households and you were disobedient and have not
fulfilled your purpose. Of all of you, there is only one man who obeyed me.
Learn from him."
Then God
turned to the lone man and asked, "How did you come to be in this
line?"
The man
replied, "My wife told me to stand here."
