Neihbours, whodar have 'em



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 …

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."
