Wow

My best friend used to have one and it hated me!  It would hiss at me and go from sitting on the top of the sofa to flying across the room at me in a second!  It also liked to chose the exact second I was engrossed in something on TV to jump at me and scare the bejesus out of me.  

 

When I was in primary school I went to America to stay with a host family and their relatives had 2 cats.  We'd visit the relatives nearly every weekend and they constantly scratched at me. One scratched me on the face so badly the host family took me to the doctors to get it checked out (it was fine).

 

And finally.....my Daddy keeps pigeons.  When we were kids we'd go to school through the gate in the back yard.  On more than one occasion we'd find either a pigeon in the process of being ripped to shreds by a cat or the finished product.

 

The one in my back garden doesn't come near the house so I don't chase it away.  He can live out there if he wants as long as he keeps the mice away and doesn't come near my house.  I'm just not going out to meet him.

Cats scare me ,I couldn't be in a house with a cat .

I'm watching The Kate Bush Story on BBC4

Lovely

 

Damn  I loves KB and I missed it.

 

Have they played "The man with the child in his eyes"? Love that song.

 

 

Its still on

 

They've played the lot. Forgot how wonderful she really is.

 

I love her passion and sensuality.

 

A mysterious sophisticated gypsy type - gorgeous

 

 

I caught the end of it (I'm pretty sure BBC will repeat or I can iPlayer it).

 

But yes, I have always liked her and her work - I own all her albums too.

 

Here is a picture I found on-line.

 

 

 

 

An old friend of the family owned a music shop

He got me a picture disc of The Kick Inside

 

I also have 2 signed copies (limited edition) of art work from of Hounds of Love.

Going for £200+ on ebay - yay!!

We are just approaching the Immingham area!
*waves at Soozie Woo*

don't forget to have your passports ready to enter Lincolnshire   and remember it is a maximum of 30mph anywhere in the county

I watched that, it was very good. Made me want to get all her albums. Theres no-one else like her in music.

 

Also Wuthering Heights is my favourite book - love the way she captured the dark and supernatural atmosphere of it in the song. 

I thought I was going completely insane just now.  I could smell cigarette smoke when I was sat in the living room.  Ran like the wind (well, waddled like a hippo more like at this stage......but I was faster than I usually am) to my eldest's room just in case it was him.  It wasn't (he's lucky!) and came back to the living room and it kept getting stronger and stronger.  Really creeped me out but then I noticed the living room window was still open, went to close it and notice the next door neighbours ashtray on the side of their wee raised porch thing (decking on stilts thing with summer seats.....bit too high up meaning they can easily look into our window).  He must have been smoking and it was coming in though the window lol.

 

Glad I noticed it now though because baby's crib is coming up this weekend and will be just below that window!  I'll have to open the window on the other side only.

I'm at Skegness Butlitz mit all the kids. It's raining and packed out. Shoot me now etc.

 

Nice.

 

I bet you never sell though 

anyone who visits skegness in the summer needs shooting ( and I lived there!)

i will

You have my deepest sympathies. 

Just for EC as he said he liked looking at my flower

 

These are 2 more blooms from my Brush Strokes rose, I love that they are all so different.

 

 

Blimey Joe we could have bumped into each other if i'd have gone a bit later or you'd gone slightly earlier If Dick and Dom are on while youre there i recommend it the kids and my Dad all found it good fun.. Oh and the wheel of death too, but if its raining they wont do that one. Have a fab time!

Apparently it will stop raining during the night! Dinner time was particularly stressful btw. Not used to disorderly crowds see.

Thanks for the good wishes! At least there is a LaserQuest!

If you fancy a ride out I can recommend Batemans Brewery tour in Wainfleet (there is also a small museum (Magdalen College)  and the Parrot Zoo in Friskney

I could tell a story but it must wait just to see if I can get more material!
Mrs Jer hasn't stopped moaning along the lines of, "we could have booked that big cottage in Whitby and had a kilopound spending money."

 

 

Definitely a bright moment in what has been a grey day. 

Awww George and Mildred  used to love that.

 

 

I'm just looking through all sorts of DVD sets.

 

Bless This House

Father Dear Father

Hazell

Jason King

Dangerman

The Champions

Muck and Brass

After Henry

Agony

The Bounder

The Cuckoo Waltz

 

There is just loads of nostalgic TV to browse and buy 

 

 

We are going through our own enactment of Hi-Di-Hi at the moment.

(Thanks for the feed line EC)

Mrs Jer just said, "It's quite bracing!"
I think that would make an excellent catchphrase. I must suggest it.

Looking at these delightful photographs, a thought crossed my mind - can one actually eat rose petals?

Yes you can! If you go in your local Asian food shop you can even get rose petal marmalade! It's lovely!!

Thanks, Garage Joe.   I'll give that a go!

It's Turkish!

EC here you go

The internet is rife with David Bowie rumours.

It all started with Danny Baker, who said earlier:

"I am told David Bowie will join Kate Bush onstage at some point tonight. Then the lid will come off twitter."

I'm wondering Ells is doing, isn't she due/going in about now?
