Not long before I get my hair cut. It’s a real mess as it’s
been so long since I got it cut last. I am trying to grow it as long as
possible. But my hair gets to a certain length and grows, but dead ends only! A
month ago, as I wrote yesterday, I cut my own fringe… So, you say, Fiona, you
are totally blind and you cut your own fringe?
Yep.
Create an orderly line!
My charges are your company! All I ask is for you to sign a
form as you enter Fifi’s salon redeeming me from all responsibilities…
We have been invited to a birthday party. It’s not until
next May. But my Husband is in demand. Smile. He’s been asked to play piano.
It’s for my lovely surrogate Grandmother for my Son. It’s her 80th
birthday next year as it’s her lovely husband’s birthday too, but don’t tell
him I said he was lovely, or it will go to his head. I have to remain cool with
him. Haha. Bless his cotton socks. He’s been so good to us especially when I
was in hospital. He was the Dad I needed at that time and a Dad to Hub at that
same time as well as when Hubs Mum died. I am looking forward to celebrating
the event with them. And I’m sure when Hub learns of his talents being
requested, he will oblige as he cares deeply for them.
I have told you about my friend Vivi before, she was my Sons
Lolly pop lady on the crossing to school all those years ago. Her job was in
Government offices but she retired and took this as a part time job, helping
the little children and their parents across the road. She used to bring my
dear old and first guide dog Black Beauty dog biscuits and my little monkey
wouldn’t cross the road until she got fed by this lady. One day Vivi forgot the
biscuits and well, let’s say, me trying to persuade my guide dog across the
road when her claws were well and truly stuck in the ground protesting,
followed by me going bright red as cars queued up and angry snobby mothers
moaned behind me, as I then started to guide my guide dog, by pulling her
across the road, wasn’t a good look! She sulked for the rest of the day. The
thing is, my friend Vivi felt so guilty, she brought double biscuits the next
day.
Holding up cars and people once again! Oh, we were so
popular. I guess the moral of this story is, not to feed a guide dog on a
crossing. I did try to tell Vivi this, but without any success. It was the last
time Boy Wonder, Hub and myself visited Vivi last year to deliver Christmas
gifts, we were having a meal. Our dogs were behaving well under the table as we
ate.
I thought.
Next thing I learn. Waggatail is to Vivi’s right getting fed
and Little Fella is blocking any vision Vivi may have had of the world and
certainly a Vivi wasn’t able to be seen even by the best of sighted folk. LF
had launched himself on her knee. I was mortified, in fact, my mort has never
been so fied!
I blame Vivi. ()
Well we went to the pub quiz last night, and we are getting
better. I answered a few, Hub did the same and I got the anagram. So, let’s see
if you get it. The letters are
ThailandKeg.
So, T. H. A. I. L. A. N. D. K. E. G
And the clue was. A famous pop group from the 80’s.
English, American? Even German or French, who knows. So, I
could only start with English groups. Firstly, in my head trying to remember the
letters that were given. It’s hard when you can’t see them in front of you.
Well, I shall give you the answer in a mo jo. My Hub and our
two friends didn’t have a clue. Neither did I at first but I was determined
that I would get it. I had to, I mean you should see some of the questions. One
week we were given 32 letters for a film. No year or country. We got it though,
the easiest movie I got was because it was my favourite film ever. It took me a
minute only to get that one. The letters for that were
C. I. N. R. D. Y. A. G. T. I. D. N.
And the answer for that movie was…. Have you worked that one
out?
Dirty Dancing. As for the ThailandKeg from last night, the
pop group? I only guessed that one by the letters as for the group, I had heard
of them, but only was reminded when I said the words I had come to which were….
Ready?
Go on have another look, see if you can guess? I shall give
you a clue I think…. They were English.
So, the answer?
Talking Heads.
Honestly, believe me, they are so easy in comparison to what
we normally get. The picture quiz was a beach, we were told it was in England it
was the shape of the sands/cliffs/sea, so, where? Em. Don’t know. Wouldn’t
know.
I can’t even remember it today. There was a red and white
flag with a blue patch on with stars and we were to guess which state in
America it came from. I can’t even remember that answer. My problem I have and
I blame the pollution of our city, not my age… is a can’t retain information.
This is why I write a blog each day, so I can remember my
name. Haha.
A busy weekend for us, off to our friends tomorrow and
tomorrow night, is Eurovision song contest competition on the TV. China have
been in our news as they have been screening out certain things on a preview.
Some people who are homosexuals carry for some reason rainbow flags. As in
people in the audience. Why? Not sure. Well the Ireland entry is a great singer.
Fantastic song. Beautiful in fact. But the dancers in the background, are two
men acting out a love scene. The flags in China were blurred and the dancers
were not shown. So, the producer has been sacked. Something to do with inclusion laws.
What ever is going on near you this weekend, I hope you are
included.
