A poem wot I wrote ...

And you are very witty ...
- Or should that read knitty?

Yesterday was shitty
Today has been more bitty

Ah, that's good news merlot - well done indeed as it has been all change this year too and much harder by all accounts!

When I woke up this morning there was one thing on my mind,
DD2's results are out so please let them be kind
Her grades were just amazing - her hard work has done her proud
So now I'm here considering if boasting is allowed
Oh, what the heck, I've done it but a curious thought remains,
If she's in the top percentage just where did she get her brains?

Seriously though......Well done sweetypie

Nanny27 your posts only appear pink to you so they are easy to distinguish, they are green to the rest of us.

I've washed and ironed
I've vacuumed the floor
The dogs have been walked
I'm doing no more!

Thank imperfect. Pink is fine for me but everyone else's post appear green! Oh well..

greyduster that made me laugh out loud!!! You painted such a clear picture.

Reminds me of the time when I was newly divorced and began studying for a theology degree. My dad came to visit and I was in the middle of translating some New Testament Greek -trying to teach myself the rudiments. He just shook his head and said ' A man wants a woman to cook his dinners for him, not speak Greek to him!'
Bless him!

This is not domestic, so I am going off piste, but I wrote this after one of my first fishing trips. It is true!

I was fishing on a reservoir, casting flies into the gale (it was bloomin' windy!)
When I hooked into a good sized trout (it felt more like a whale);
As I tussled with this denizen, prayed my line would not give way,
Two old guys walked up behind me and blithely said
"Good day, Lad; Tha't doin reight well theere.
Don’t give 'im no slack and tha'll bank 'im, never fear."
I turned around and gave them
Both a nod and cheery grin, '
Twas then their mouths fell open
As if I'd socked them on the chin!
"By 'eck! It is a woman! '''Tis a lass beneath that hat!
"By 'eck! A woman fishing 'ere! Would you ever credit that!
Then "can we give a hand, lass? For tha's hooked a feisty thing!"
I assured them I could manage, so they stood back, muttering.
When I got my monster to the net, it surely did me proud,
But the muttering continued and then one chap said out loud
"Can't ever see it catchin' on, this 'women catchin' winners'.
They're only good for two things: dancin' backwards; makin' dinners!"

Still sat in bed drinking tea ...washing in basket washed last night ...still waiting to go out and got to attack Tescos

I have re-rinsed and taken out the washing from the machine that I neglected to put out yesterday . Still not on the line though - but then, I would need to get dressed

Yes I know the song * Imp* but that wasnt in my mind ..my lovely OH is off work this week and we have done S*d all ...we are away this weekend having fun...but I have made a small start of pulling off a strip of wallpaper ready to decorate

downtoearth

Made me think of the Flanders and Hart song' The Gas Man Cometh!' Googled it for a bit of fun:

I had such plans on sunday
Of what I would do on monday
But monday came and monday went
But monday was a day well spent
I spent it planning tuesday
Now tuesday was a day of fun and play we had Amelia for the day
And thought what to do on wednesday horrible day neither here nor there
I didnt do the chores,but really.....
I dont care
Thursdays here and so are we,sitting in bed waiting for my tea
today I will plan for me and my man
What we can do on friday
Well it wont be housework sorry to say...for we are going away and not home again till sunday
When I will sit and plan
What wont get done on Monday

Want Tos ...

I woke up to my ‘meant to’ list.
Suspect, in fact, it’s grown …
And not expecting it to shift-
It’s mine and mine alone!

But sun is shining, sky is blue
There’s shopping and a lunch in view,
And BBC says ’Walkies!’ too
So much that I just want to do.

The ‘meant tos’ will just have to wait
The ‘want tos’ promise far too great
And I was born to procrastinate!

Phoenix on Radio2 Wednesday is often referred to as 'the hump day' of the week ... I have taken this to mean the day that needs to be got past ...
In work terms it has always been a long and grotty day with meetings on the end for me, so always glad to see the back of it and get closer to the weekend.

One way or another, my judgement is, this calls for pudding!!!

Wednesday is a day that I don't work,
And I always have such plans,
Sort out the kitchen cupboards, restack the pots and pans,
Hoover through, change the bed, clean windows, the whole hog,
But Wednesday always seems to be the day I fall prey to the Black Dog

P.S. ... Nanny27 I think pink is simply the new green and helps us locate our own posts on a thread - I rather like it!

Mind you - GHQ - am waiting to hear that it is not gender neutral enough for some!!!

Another day wasted???

The day is done, the housework not,
But I don’t care a single jot!
The wine is poured, the TV’s on
And apple pud will soon be gone. (Thanks Auntieflo!)

Thank the Lord for comfy jamas,
Elastic waists and glass half full,
Today I didn’t go bananas,
Bod like jelly, head like wool…

Meant to do so many things,
Meant to clean and sort and cook,
But content, my heart now sings,
Soon be time to read a book!

Thanks Gransnetters for a day
Of dilly, dallying and nothing much,
Just laughing with the world once more,
Never lose your unique touch!

The victor has returned, it seems he won the friendly match,
They finished at the pub so they could drink his winnings -Natch!
I knew he would be starving which was more than just a hunch
Because when he left this morning he forgot to take his lunch!!

And Merlotgran I really hope your DH caught some fish.
To have a fishing day myself is just my dearest wish;
But the plasterer is coming, so it'll be muck up to the nines
That will have to be cleared up before I can claim tight lines!

On Monday and on Tuesday I did, frankly, not a lot;
The house is very dusty and the garden's gone to pot;
My grandson stayed here overnight, so Wednesday's a lost cause;
We swam, and drew, and cricketted, and played games without pause.
But now his Dad has fetched him, and I'm sprawled out in a chair,
Thinking of those jobs undone.
Oh b****r - they're still there!!

I have a pile of ironing,
It`s been standing there all week,
I got up early to get stuck in,
But nowt`s done yet as we speak.

I need to do that ironing,
So I`ll just have to suffer
The aching legs and poorly back
That plague this sad old duffer.

And while I'm here I'd like to know, what you lovely people think might be the reason all my posts have changed from green to pink?
