How's Sandra?

Nigel has just gone home after 24 hours of surreal conversation and  a slight overdose  from the Village Christmas Fair.....it was nice to see him.
Speaking of surreal conversations, this is a genuine conversation I had with a fellow villager who I will call Huw.
I saw him last night when I took the dogs out for their final walk. Huw was smoking a fag outside his house and  I called over to see how his wife was. She had been "unwell " for a few days
"How's Sandra?" I called
"She got dysentery!" Huw called back
Me: (concerned) "Where is she?- has she been hospitalized?"
Huw (deadpanning wonderfully) "No...she's upstairs eating chips!"

I chuckled all the way home

  4. I love the way that it is impossible to pronounce the name 'Huw' (as opposed to the English equivalent) without using a Welsh accent. Chips are a well-know cure for the squits, btw.

  12. Your post reminds me of something my uncle told me - my grandma was on her death bed (literally) and when asked if there is anything she wanted (a sort of last request) she said oo I'd love a bag of chips - he went and got her some and she died happy!

  16. Being a yorkshire gal I laughed my head off - family conversations came flooding back. I remember my Auntie Joan telling me about a neighbour winning the pools. "He stayed in the house Denise - they have just had a suzuki fitted in the bathroom!" Priceless!
