SEE IF YOU ARE RIGHT?

Good day to you all my dearest Bloggets. OK, my shopping is ordered. Now a question for you all… I read on my selection of shopping list

“Vanilla breeze”

OK, what would you think that was? It was a pound special offer from £1.75.

Come on, think about it, you are like me now, can’t see the picture, just have a guess and let me know what you think that would or could possibly be? I will tell you the answer in a mo. jo

 

So my shopping was ordered and is on its way. I ordered it at two in the morning the other evening/morning as I couldn’t sleep. I never can these days; I put on my PPod and listen to music or go onto one of my social groups. Only thing with that, though I am getting rather cocky with my IPod now, see, even calling it by its proper name, I am cocky as it terrified me when I got it for a gift last Christmas from Hub, but now I’m downloading all sorts. I am even commenting on my groups. Well, that’s fine, but where the heck are the punctuation points? Really, when I read it back, I sound as though I am in a hurry. Hehehe. And you know me, I can’t write a one liner, has to be like an essay, well, I have had to control my words as it sounds bad enough just a few words without punctuation.

 

I guess if you are reading it with your eyes, it won’t be so bad, but reading it like I do with my software “Jaws” it sounds really awful.

 

But I am really pleased I can do it, imagine it’s a flat sheet of glass and good job I know how to touch type or it would be impossible, so I have to remember where the keys are. I still close my eyes and see for example, a letter T on the top centre or a letter A, far left middle. I see it in my head, white letters on black keys, just like I would have seen when I could see to type. Thank God I learned to touch type, anyone who has RP, please learn to touch type? It will be your saviour. If you can learn Braille, even more clever of you, I just can’t and my Husband hasn’t the time or patients to teach me. I tried a few years ago to learn and really it was so boring, but I admire those who know it, or will learn it. To read tablets for example and the amount that is written on the box is so helpful. I’m half lucky as I hand them over to Hub, but should not rely on another.

 

I know you can buy software now where by you talk into it and you can write that way, but Hub has tried it and it’s not that good, also it has to learn your accent, that’s fine, Hub speaks queens English, I have a strong Geordie accent… Unless I’m on the phone, then Hub says I sound like I have a plum stuck not in my mouth……… Hehehe. How does he know what someone sounds like with a plum stuck in their never ever regions?

 

Hmm. must ask him that next time I remember?

 

Oh our neighbour who went on holiday and came back to his poor dead parrot, yesterday, dug it back up. My neighbour Di kindly buried it for them, as her and their sister was looking after them all. She put it in a shoe box and buried it in their garden. But he dug it up? Oh God? That would have been horrible! And why?

I hope he wasn’t too upset as he loved it bless him. He used to walk around the street with it on his shoulder and go to the park for a walk with it and to the pub and let it drink the froth off his beer… And feed it toast for breakfast. Not sure how the poor thing died but not obesity or alcoholic poison as the owners were away for two weeks. But the sister and Di looked after them all well with fresh vegetables and fruit as well as fresh water every day.

 

OK, teen gone in today with his cheque for maths. He got up really late I tried for half an hour to get him up. He took the cheque in blank. Hub will not be impressed with him for doing that, I’m not either but today was the deadline for him taking it in to be put in for the November exam. I’m furious with the college and I’m going to write a letter to them as we have had to pay double as he didn’t hand in the money at the start. Well, no one told us that had to be done? We didn’t pay last year.

 

My dog is whingeing all the time; she is bored out of her brain. I wish I had more work for her? I won’t ever get another dog again. It’s not worth it, far better off going to a person who goes out. There is so much she can’t do this is the trouble. She is not allowed to go to town, she won’t find the bus stop to go to our local big shops, when we go there, she is great, but getting her to find the bus stop or the bus door? Not possible. So she whinges in the house and I feel so bad about it.

 

As for our canary, he’s Irish you know? Hehehe. Oh God, his lungs are in a great way for sure. He is screaming. For a tiny bird, he is very vocal. A very happy little chap.

 

Its sunny today cool, but not cold. Very sunny though. Oh now, for yesterday, it rained a lot and a knock at my front door... Oh heck. I opened it and seeing nothing of course, this is how the conversation went.

Me

“Hello”

No answer. I again spoke

“Yes? Hello!”

Him

“Hiah”

Silence after I repeated hi.

Then he repeated Hi. OMG, do I know this odd person? I know a lot of odd people, was this one of them? Should I be saying?

“Oh, hi, come in I will put the kettle on?”

Em, no. I waited and waited for him to talk. Obviously he is a relative of the muted one at our local shop who yesterday I had more dealings with, oh another blog on that one… Anyway, I asked, can I help you?

Him

“How are you?”

“Fine!”

Silence. OK this man was an nutter. Or was he? Hmm. Well next he perked up and said

“Don’t worry, I’m not after money!”

Good cos I haven’t got any. Hehehe. No, I just kept quiet.

Oh long and short of it, he was asking for money, but not now, oh no but in six weeks. He would be back to ask for just £2 per week for the Red Cross.

Well, I don’t care what colour his cross was, I didn’t like him, and he gave me the creeps. And, he had bells.

OK, not that funny, I’m telling you, he had bells, so he was either a kid’s character like Noddy, or he was a Morris dancer.

Oh God I felt sick when he left, I felt like he was casing the joint… Oh what a dreadful expression, I’ve been hanging around teens too long…

My door was well locked after him. I can’t stand people like that who come to our doors. OK, collect in public places or events, not knocking on doors old people and blindies like me don’t know always who we are dealing with we could be talking to a person at our front door and another is at the back trying to get in?

 

Right, now for the question I asked at the start. What would you think Vanilla breeze was? Me, an air freshener… And you? Come on? Well, on my shopping list as it read cupboard on my receipt, I thought I would double enter the name of it. That takes you into the poor description, but enough roughly to know at least what you are buying, just I presumed, not always a good thing, it was an air freshener. It’s only an alternative for milk? Hahahahha. Good job I didn’t spray that around my room? Oh God, what have I ordered? I bet it will be awful?

OK, have more phone calls to make today I have been putting them off. I will be back later with love. X
