BLUE BLOOMS BY FIONA CUMMINGS

 

OK my blue badge continues. The lovely lady who was meant to call me back five years ago about something else has called me she has found a Doctor who saw me at one time and he has signed the relevant paper.  Now I have to wait for a letter to be sent to me and I have to sign it… (That should be fun finding where) hahaha. I’m sure our boy will show me. As for Hub he will have to see a Dr specialist.

 

So, my gardener came. He came with dry sand for my drive. Only the sand wasn’t dry, but wet. So, no good. So now it’s open to dry for Sunday but he has put it around the corner next to our bins just in case, now Bloggets wait for this one…. Just in case our (Dogs) poop in it…

It’s a piggin tall sack of sand… Does he think they are cats?

 

Bless him, when God was handing out brains, they gave him blooms!

Having said that, he’s caring. He really tries to explain things to us what he has done and where he has left things. And his language is very colourful. I will never forget the day he was up a ladder waving some dangerous chopper around with petrol making it sound like some kind of flying motorbike, speaking in a very loud voice about the *** in neighbours how uncaring they are and *** this and that.

Well they were only in their garden. Thing is, I only learned just afterwards when he turned his machine off. He could see them… I told him they were there he said why do you think I said what I said? Bahahaha. He went onto saying how people are very irresponsible planting such nasty shrubs without any consideration for others. With a few choice words mixed in. Bless him.

Two days before I can start to unpack and make my house my home again. Let living begin.

And finally, some words from my friend and our Blogget. She is so funny. These are words she wrote about her 10-year-old, I think he’s ten, Son.

“You all might want to get right with the Lord, Gabriel cleaned his bedroom tonight without being asked. I think it's one of the signs of the apocalypse.””
