a certain sadness

The birds you mean ?

Im sure they would be happy to put on a show in the birdbath for you tinks.

Be careful you dont start watching the neighbours though lol

That made me smile…

We could do the funnyfanny shufflebottom…

Takes suzannes hand and leads her on to the floor..holds her left hand and strokes her hair with the right…thats the hold..

Gazes in to those bright eyes and smiles

One two step…three four turn… five six bend…seven eight jump

And again…

One two step…three four…[Read more]

Funnyfans lol

Its one of those gloomy afternoons here where the light forgot to show up.

All houses are alight with soft lamps and the flicker of tv pictures around the room.

Mr spraggs is fast asleep in his armchair with the dog cuddled in on his lap.

The roxton-quimbys are sipping tea from their china cups.

Miss funnyfanny is in the kitchen…[Read more]

A surviving soldier from the somme wrote sixty years later..

There can never be another war like the great war
Nor the comradeship and endurance that we knew then
I think perhaps
Men are not like that now.

I dont know it was just a murder miss cherrie…happens a lot around here.

It was like any other murder..there was a motive, a stray knitting needle to the heart and a muffled cry. She told the police it was ” beautiful and intense”.

She had suffered at the hands of mr shuffle for years…not the physical abuse but the mental type…slowly but…[Read more]

Dont be flippant suzanne lol

This is a tale of lust, greed and knitting needles.

What really went in to those blueberry muffins?

What was mrs shufflebottom doing hiring a chainsaw from the local machine mart?

Why were the nets twitching in the small hours and whose hands were playing with things they shouldnt of.

Why did miss funnyfanny want…[Read more]

Im dying here miss cherrie lol.

The roxton-quimbys from number 11 have just returned from their six month cruise around the world.

The spraggs are home too as i heard a crunch of wooden fence on bumper.

By the weekend i will tell you about the shufflebottom sack murder…yes murder!

Im not feeling too well at the moment miss cherrie

Will have to sign off for a bit.

Wasnt feeling well enough for work lol

Mrs shufflebottom was chairwoman of the knitting circle for twenty years i dont think she would be capable of such things.

Maybe that sack she was loading in the boot last night wasnt two dozen homemade blueberry muffins for the womens institute meeting today.

She is currently scrubbing what looks like a…[Read more]

Easy ways to combat bullying.

Ive been here for donkeys years and never had anyone bully me for one of the reasons below.

1. I would always just ignore them then they would get bored.

2. Im too nice to bully.

3. Most people couldnt care less about me so wouldnt waste their time bullying me anyway.

4. I only go in chat once or twice a…[Read more]

Affectation.

I actually laughed out loud at ” the cornfoot ginger kid” haha.

You ask some interesting questions that i honestly dont know the answers too tbh.

I never knew mrs blowit well enough to know about her hobbies outside of cooking or what her private passions were….i guess it was a sense of duty that kept her by the kitchen sink.

I know my dad…[Read more]

Mrs blowit and that garden shed…

The blowits were a very friendly couple who had lived in the street for many years…mr blowit was a railwayman through and through, what he didnt know about class 45 couplings wasnt worth knowing.
Mr blowit was a shortish man and quite slim but he was as strong as an ox and had hands like shovels.sunday…[Read more]

Haha

Im not sure about their feet but the eldest son had bright ginger hair…seemed a bit odd as none of the others did.

Its a sad tale of the mothers death and the fathers inability to cope which ended up with the children losing both parents.

Maybe not something to read before bed so i will post it in our time tonight.

I could always leave…[Read more]

Get a tissue ready for when i tell you about the cornfoots at number 7.

Yes i suppose im lucky..some interesting characters around here.

Lol

You think i could unblock her pipes..

Im not sure what mrs blowit at number 16 would think..

Miss funnyfanny’s dalliance…

The funnyfanny’s moved in a couple of years ago to a lot of twitching curtains and open mouths. Her husband was a slight man with glasses and a worried look on his face.we think he was stretched to the limit financially trying to satisfy miss funnfanny’s taste for the good life….clothes,expensive meals and…[Read more]

Well i cant do pictures but heres whats happened this morning…

The shufflebottoms at 22 have been very quiet…but mrs shufflebottom did make an appearance at 10.30 to hang out her smalls on the line.

Miss glasscock the spinster at number 24 was doing the crossword in the lounge..it looked like the daily mirror and she was using black ink…i…[Read more]

Well a horse would cover around 5 or 6 lengths a second so the last 24 lengths at epsom up to the winning post..then with one second to go i would raise my whip look at the crowd and smile.

This blonde lady came and sat next to me tonight and started asking me all types of questions…id say mid 40s..very attractive face and a sweet voice through the stench of rum and black.

She even told me she loved me as she went down on one knee to try to keep her balance.

Maybe this is love..
