No. It's on You Tube.

It's been ten weary years since I left England's shore,
In a far distant to roam.
I long to return to my own native land, to my friends and the old folks at home.

I know all of them,the shame of it!

Some thirty odd years ago, I went to a New Years Eve do and a woman was playing the piano, we were all singing.

She played one called "The Miner's Dream of Home" and only two voices were heard. One was an old boy in his nineties and you really would not be interested in who the other one was.

Fred was absolutely on the ball until the last few weeks when his sodium levels started to go awry.The first inkling we had was the Sunday morning when OH and I were rowing hammer and tongs upstairs.

I had heard something a bit loud rattling in the washing machine but not thought much about it, assuming the wash balls were all on the outside of the load.

OH went downstairs and, very politely, called up to ask if I knew how to stop the washing machine as it was full of washing up and had been for eleven minutes.

Cups, plates, wooden spoons, cutlery, saucepans, all rolling around together for all that time.

I think he was probably abit absent minded but would not have made the mistake had he not been trying so hard to make out what we were rowing about.

I'm aware that I "lose" things

The day I think everything is hunkeydorey is the day I'm in trouble

My mum came back from a shopping trio and put all the groceries away
About half an hour later, she could smell something cooking

She had put a pack of sausages in the tumble dryer and turned it on!
The dryer was ruined .
:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

After buttering my toast yesterday, I put the butter away in the cutlery drawer.
