Avoid Workmen.
Good day to you,
.
Here we have yet another pretty morning of blue skies and cheering, but weak, sunshine.
Not at all bad for November.
.
But I am worried about something.
.
For a long time now we have had the pleasure of watching, and listening to, two very beautiful grey doves nearby.
.
They seemed to be always together, billing and cooing all day long.
I noticed on Monday that there was only one dove waiting in the tree when I went out to feed the birds, and it has been so ever since.
.
It just sits there quietly, all alone, day after day.
.
It is making me sad.
Where is it’s mate?
I cannot help but imagine that something dreadful has occurred and it makes me want to cry.
.
I know that terrible things are happening all over the world, to all sorts of people, but sometimes the tiny things can really touch you.
.
I hope that it is eating the bread.
Tomorrow I shall put out some chocolate chip cookies in the hope that it will be tempted to eat some…and perhaps be cheered up a bit.
.
.
Talking about chocolate chip cookies!
.
Since we have had workmen in the house, we have also had to buy biscuits.
I don’t really know what workmen would do if you took them their morning and afternoon tea and there were no biscuits or pieces of cake with it….but I am sure that it would be awful.
.
The problem is that generally we do not eat such dubious stuff because it is just rubbish instead of proper food.
This means that we do not buy such things, therefore they are never present in the house.
.
That method works well.
.
But now we have a problem Houston!
.
For months now we have had these Spawn Of The Devil creations in our house both night and day, and in copious amounts too….biscuits not workmen!
As a result I am finding myself creeping downstairs late at night and helping myself to this rubbish.
.
It is a bit like unprotected sex….it seems like a good idea at the time!
.
I find it especially hard to resist those Twix Bars, for some unimaginable reason, particularly when they are chilled.
As a result I asked Big H to stop getting them for the men.
.
I suggested that he buy stuff like Custard Creams and Chocolate Bourbons, because they are totally resistible, even at the midnight hour.
.
He refused on the grounds that people are happier with Chocolate Brownies, Chocolate coconuts, fruit cake and Twix Bars.
.
After all these years I am beginning to think that the swine is a closet sadist.
.
I kept telling myself that it did not matter if I had a little bit of what I fancied, but once again, it can be like unprotected sex, because there can be unwanted results from such behaviour.
.
This morning MY JEANS WERE FAR TOO TIGHT!!!.
.
It is all BIg H’s fault!
He made me do it!
.
Now I feel all depressed.
.
Thank goodness that the present work will be finished sometime next week and life can be thin again.
The only sensible thing to do in future is to avoid all workmen….which means that you also avoid all types of biscuits.
Hire them at your peril!
.
Have a great day and try to resist temptation.
Who knows, YOU may even succeed.
.
LOL
