Pottering

[Serial_Apologist]

....NOT a trace of Detol in our house....most of my furniture and carpets are second-hand....I'm living with 50 years of someone elses dust [and mites know doubt]....and I never get ill....(that is one the joys of being anti-social....no germs....)

Famous Last Words!

Beatrix Potter

Just reminded me of an old joke.
What do you call a woman who can make a 147 break at snooker whilst balancing a pint of lager on her head ?

That is very good ShB, you should market it as a fridge magnet! I'd buy one.

It's serious pottering for me today, I completely overdosed on rugby this morning, lunch is in the oven and smelling good, it's still raining steadily and I don't think I can be asked to do a single constructive thing this afternoon.

You could think of a way to send me some of your roast pork with apples over the internet Anna. I have mince tonight. and yes SHB I'll have your fridge magnet too please.

Here's another fridge magnet contender:


You know you're getting older when...

Everything that works hurts, and what doesn't hurt doesn't work.

You feel like the morning after, and you haven't been anywhere.

Your little black book only contains names ending in GP.

Your children are beginning to look middle-aged.

Your mind makes contracts your body can't keep.

You look forward to a dull evening.

Your knees buckle and your belt won't.

Your back goes out more than you do.

You sink your teeth into a steak, and they stay there.

You know all the answers, but nobody asks the questions.

I wonder how that could be made possible! Maybe by smashing its way through the computer screen? That would surely bring any computer to a sticky end!

Cruel, eh??

I remember Sandi Toksweig making a similar observation on The New Quiz some time ago. How do you know when You're getting old? When, in stooping down to tie up your shoe laces, you look around to see what else can be done while still down there!

Virtues

My guide in all things pottery was my mother who had a note on her kitchen board saying "The Virtues are Chastity, Temperance, Charity, Diligence, Patience, Kindness and Humility. As they say on exam papers, only three need be attempted"
