Go out in the garden and dance in the rain, Mersey :-D :-D

I used to do that in the late 60's .......... clothes optional :-D :-D ;-) ;-)

I have my own special ""Charlie Bear"" GiN :-D :-D ;-) <3

I've just got J and Pussy :-D :-D ;-) ;-)

A nuddy dance GiN.... :-0 :-D :-D

Maybe, Mersey :-D :-D ;-) ;-)


We have bees nesting in the bird box just by our French windows. J has just had a look with a view to ousting them - he's rapidly changed his mind! :-0 :-0 ;-) ;-)

Think he would have learned his lesson after he took the pressure hose to the wasps nest in the garage :-0 :-0 :-D :-D ;-) ;-)

Val Doonican RIP (1927-2015).

Now Patrick McGinty, an Irishman of note,
Fell in for a fortune and he bought himself a goat,
Says he: Sure of goat's milk I'm going to have me fill,
But when he brought the Nanny home he found it was a Bill,

All the young ladies who live in Killaloo,
They're all wearing bustles like their mothers used to do,
They each wear a bolster beneath their petticoat,
And leave the rest to providence and Paddy McGinty's goat,

Mrs Burke to her daughter said: Listen Mary Jane,
Who was the lad you were cuddling in the lane?,
He'd long wiry whiskers a hanging from his chin
Twas only Pat McGinty's goat, she answer'd with a grin,

Then She went away from the village in disgrace,
She came back with powder and paint upon her face,
She'd rings on her fingers, And she wore a sable coat,
You bet your life she didn't get those from Paddy McGinty's goat,

Now Norah McCarthy the knot was going to tie,
She washed out her trousseau and hung it out to dry,
Along came the goat and he saw the bits of white,
And chewed up all her falderals, upon on her wedding night,

Oh, turn out the light quick, she shouted out to Pat,
For though l'm your bride, sure l'm not worth looking at,
I had two of everything, I told you when I wrote,
But now I've one of nothing all through Paddy McGinty's goat,

Mickey Riley he went to the races t'other day,
He won twenty dollars and shouted: Hip Hooray,
He held up the note shouting: Look at what I've got,
The goat came up and grabbed at it and swallowed up the lot,

He's eaten my banknote, says Mickey with the hump,
They went for the doctor and they got a stomach pump,
They pumped and they pumped for the twenty dollar note,
But all they got was ninepence out of Paddy McGinty's goat,

Now ould Paddy's goat had a wondrous appetite,
And one day for breakfast he had some dynamite,
A big box of matches he swallowed all serene,
Then out he went and swallowed up a quart of paraffin,

He sat by the fireside, he didn't give a hang,
He swallowed a spark and exploded with a bang,

So if you go to heaven you can bet a dollar note,
That the angel with the whiskers is Paddy McGinty's goat.

Ah! Paddy McGinty's goat - thanks for that, Dermot :-D <3

RIP Val Doonican :-) :-)

Mum and Dad had that happen to them a few weeks ago GiN, in a bird box at the bottom of the garden...he went to the garden centre and they gave Dad some kind of foam for just that thing.....He had phoned a few beekeepers and they did not want to help.... :-(

Afternoon Dermot ;-) Val Doonican was a great entertainer and he will be missed by many :-) take care and enjoy your day ;-)

Good afternoon Mersey and Everyone. :-) :-) :-D :-D <3 <3 ;-) ;-)

It is a hot beautiful day and I will be meeting my pal for lunch shortly.

I watched the ladies football game last night after midnight and the torrential rain, thunder and sheet lightning returned and it was spectacular. Little Teddy is happy that it's over.

GinN <3 your post about what you used to do in the late 60's :-D brings back memories of times I spent on Eel Pie Island on the Thames during the 60' ;-)

Hiya Sunbeam :-D :-D <3

Afternoon GeordiePride ;-) thunder storms are on the cards for this afternoon down here where I am ;-) enjoy your lunch with your mate ;-)

Back after lunch :-D :-D


Thanks, Mersey :-D - J has decided to leave the bees unless they bother us at all. Bees are becoming quite endangered, and he thinks these may be tree bees, which are quite rare. What with that and the bats in the village hall, we are having fun in our village :-D :-D ;-) ;-)

Footie! :-0 :-0 :-0 - you danced nude on Eel Pie Island? You old Hippy, you! :-D :-D :-D. Good on yer, Lad :-D :-D ;-) ;-) <3 <3

afternoon all <3

Hya AnnC :-D :-D <3 <3 - a bit cooler and fresher here, too, but no rain as yet :-D

GinN <3 I has quite a few friends who were part of the hippie commune on the island ;-) and I would never divulge what pastimes we took part in :-D let's just say the 60's were interesting times ;-)

Oh yes, Footie - they certainly were :-D :-D :-D

Your secret is safe with me! ;-) ;-) ;-)
