"I'll admit I may have seen better days, but I'm still not to be had for the price of a cocktail, "(Margo Channing)

Chris is away for a few Days, leaving me with his iPad to complete
My daily blog, which is not a mean feat as I am totally unfamiliar with
It's workings and applications.
Very little has happened today.
But there WAS one highlight moment when two middle aged ladies came onto the field with bread for the hens.
The two scattered crumbs for all, dropped some apples off for the pigs and took a final crust over to Beatrice in
Her stroke rehab pen.
Unfortunately Beatrice's run is slap-bang next to the new goose run, and before I thought
to warn the ladies, Tom let out a loud "Honk", bowed his head through the netting and struck home.
It was a fairly lucky "shot"
hIs beak slipped under the woman's kilt and I couldn't quite believe my ears when the woman
screamed and yelled "OH NO!!!!! HE'S GOT ME KNICKERS "
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry (I laughed) and dutifully galloped over to help save the poor damsel.
I needn't have worried though....for the woman, (who was around 60) had already leapt to safety
"I am so sorry," I babbled in way of an apology
But the woman and her friend were laughing hysterically
The friend especially so
"oooooh Alex," she snorted ""that's a first for you in 20 years!!!!!!!!!"
I didn't ask

Discretion definitely the better part of valour in this case John...hysterical!
ReplyDeletenever a dull moment around your place!!
ReplyDeleteGill in Canada
That was brilliant John, I loved that story. A good Carry-on film in the making
ReplyDelete'Carry On' or what???!!!
ReplyDeleteI hate carry on films with a passion
ReplyDeleteHaha! Tom obviously likes the more 'mature' ladies...
ReplyDeleteSo you can't work these new-fangled techno gadgets then grandpa John!
Try winding it up with the key at the back...
Ah - chauvenist pigs are everywhere! No woman's knickers are safe!
ReplyDeleteLOL that was hilarious! I read it out loud to hubby and we both had a good laugh. Thanks John!
ReplyDeleteMaura :)
Brilliant! I hope Elizabeth gave Tom a good dressing down afterwards. x
ReplyDeleteHaha. So glad they took it all well. :)
ReplyDeletethe perfect post to liven my Monday afternoon...I can see the moment in my mind...hysterically funny...had her knickers indeed...ROFLMAO
ReplyDeleteGeese have to love them!
And how kind that folks in your village bring treats to your menagerie!
John your place has really become a focal point in the village......can't wait for the next episode!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great laugh on my lunch break at my desk. Nice to have the laughter and your gorgeous photos during my break from work.
ReplyDeletethat was quite the payment for her being so kind as to bring goodies for the gander.
ReplyDeleteSnort! There goes the keyboard! Thanks for the laugh, John.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant - I'm still wiping away tears of laughter.
ReplyDeleteSomeone mentioned All Creatures Great and Small in the last Commentary. Your accounts of village life with animals and humans would make a good TV series too!
Daniel Craig could play me

ReplyDeleteiPad for blogging
ReplyDeleteNaw..don't bother!!!!!
What a great sense of humor that woman had. It probably made her day, or maybe her week, or even her year.
ReplyDeleteSo what do you think of the iPad for doing your blog? I am thinking of getting one, but not sure it will fit all my needs. Maybe a small notebook would be better.
Oh John!!I do love a good goose story and this is a champion!!I will link if I may, it deserves wide coverage and much hysterical laughter!
ReplyDeleteHelp yourself von x

ReplyDeleteI think now you have covered all selfless deeds, from polishing the church brass to providing cheap thrills to single ladies. If this story gets out, you will find many a spinster hopping the garden wall (only to feed the animals, of course!)
ReplyDeleteA hoot!
ReplyDeleteSet up a CCTV.
Ahhh! "Sex in the City" moves to the Welsh countryside! LOL!
ReplyDeletePerhaps Alex hadn't seen anyone like you for twenty years.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, that's hillarious! Even better that the women were laughing, too.
ReplyDeleteHilarious!! You know with a draw like that title, I had to read!
ReplyDeleteI know, Carry On movies suck! (Go figure.)
ReplyDeleteThat woman has my grandma's sense of humour. Priceless.
Love it! And thank you so much for starting the story with "two middle aged ladies" and then saying they were 60ish. I turn 60 in December, and have been thinking that I'm no longer middle aged since I'm not going to live to 120. Makes me feel better to know that someone thinks of us as middle age instead od elderly. xxx
ReplyDeleteTHANKS for the grin at the end of my day John!! I hope the rest of your day was an enjoyable one!
ReplyDeleteJohn, I'm so glad you perservered with Chris's iPad to write this entry. It had me laughing, and was a very nice way to close my computer time this Monday evening.
ReplyDeletemegan
Geese are wonderfully selective. Goosed by a goose.
ReplyDeleteJust had to laugh at this one.
ReplyDeleteWhat a good job it was not a Scotsman in his traditional garb.
ReplyDeletePriceless!
ReplyDeleteThanks all
ReplyDeleteBoy, there`s never a dull moment for you, is there?
ReplyDeletePriceless! Wish there were video.
