It’s almost ten in the evening. We have had a lovely day
with my Aunt. Bless her. She arrived this morning a little after ten. Oh the
first thing she did when she got into the taxi to come here was call me. Well,
I picked the phone up to hear her laughing. Uncontrollably and talking away to
the driver. Turned out she phoned me but his phone went at the same time, so
she thought, and wait for it? She thought she had rung the taxi driver. Now how
would she know his mobile? And why when her mobile read my number, would it get
through to a driver she had never met? Hahahaha.
So we had a lovely coffee and she kindly gave me my birthday
gifts early. Some lovely elephants. I love them. Also shampoo I love made from
honey. And lethal chocolates. A beautiful card too. She even brought hub
chocolates and a bottle of wine. She loves him. I oftern think she is coming to
see him rather than me.
The dogs love her and she brings them treats too and even
the canary gets gifts. Remember, he’s Irish. Haha.
Then it was time to go to Louis’s our local restaurant. I took
Wagga tail and she worked so well. Hub walked with our Aunt.
Louis was so cute. Met us and walked me to the table as
ever. We receive such a welcome there. Well my aunt is now known as vinegar aunt.
Remember last time when she had the whole restaurant told the vinegar was off?
Oh heck. Mortifying. This time she asked for it again and the lovely girl
wouldn’t leave my aunts side until she told her the vinegar was okay. Hehehe. The
girl who works there is from some eastern European country. She is beautiful. Tall
and a perfect figure. I’m not too sure that she is here just to do waitressing
to be honest. But truly she is such a lovely girl. I pray she is not here for
other reasons. She is so young and really adorable.
My aunt was on her best behaviour. I think because hub was
there. Haha.
She didn’t ask for the toilet like a naughty school girl or
go out for a smoke or chase louis into the kitchen or ask the people in the restaurant
who the posh car belonged to like last few times. She was very good.
We walked back home after louis brought us sweets and told
us how good teen was helping him the other day with a plumbing enquiry. What,
my boy a plumber?
Well a hidden talent I didn’t know he had. Must take after
hub, as he has been known to fix a few leaks. Hehehehehe.
Well, we went to town, but my aunt didn’t want to go. But I didn’t
give in to her cries as she told me she thought she was dying. It would do her
good to get out. Bless her you know, she is in her early seventies. I keep
forgetting as she can be so young.
Seriously she was there one hour and asked to come home. But
one shop we went into she shouted to the lad and asked him to turn down the
music. When he didn’t take any notice, she shouted again. And she meant it. Mind
you it is rather loud.
Then it was my turn to embarrass hub. As we went to the
till,Aunt asked us if we wanted a cream
egg. I said in a loud voice
“Oh, no way, cadburies now have been took over by an
American company and the chocolate is dreadful. It’s American chocolate.”
Well, just then, the man behind the counter served us.
How can I put this?
He em,
well, was only
blooming American. Hahahahahaha.
I was rather red. We got back home and she remarked how
lovely the driver of the busses are and how kind the young lads are. And they
are. I love the people around here. I love my friends from Northumberland, as
really I only have a belly laugh when I am with them, but these people are so
kind. I know we live on a small island, but people do differ from town to town.
When we were in our town today we went into my favourite
shop. It’s one I am looking forward to buying gifts for my sister in law. She was
so grateful for the Christmas gift I bought her she will be a pleasure to get
things for from this shop. I have spoken about it before it’s the best shop in
the world I love it. Aunt and I had a great time in there, but she does tell
the staff that some of the soaps are not up to standard. Hehehe. Between the
two of us though we spent almost £50
My sister in law Ann will love things from there and it will
be great to have a sister to buy for I can’t wait.
So back home, more coffee and a slice of delicious velvet
cake she brought me. It’s the best. A chat and then I made tea. The day went
well and my aunt didn’t even nearly get arrested. Sadly her friend she lives
with kept texting her to tell her things like their dog was pining, really,
anything to make my aunt feel guilty for coming, then she told her that there
had been a dreadful train crash and horses had been killed. Knowing she was an
anxious traveller. Last time she came she the friend, had to send pictures of
the housework she was doing whilst aunt was having a day out with us. Again,
guilt trip.
Poor aunt never ever does anything for herself. Her friend
is a pain in backside.
Time to leave and poor thing, the stupid taxi firm didn’t
turn up. So it was touch and go for her getting back for the train. I told her
she could stay, but she said her friend wouldn’t be able to cope with the dog.
Let me tell you, the dog is tiny. My aunt is a cat person,
not dog. The friend is a dog person.
I’m glad to know she made the train and is safely on her
way. She is sunshine for sure and as I keep saying, everyone should have a
crazy aunt.
Hub on treadmill now. He is doing so well. When we went for
our meal today, he was so good. I wasn’t.
Okay, will go for now, but take care coz I care. Xxx
