There's a big funeral at the chapel next to the village hall today.
It's so big that there is a PA system set up from the chapel to the hall which will act as an overspill.
It's a farmer from the next village of Llanasa who has passed away.
Old farmers always seem to have big funerals!
Seeing that there was agood turn out, I placed a few extra Flower Show Schedules in the hall's foyer,
and confessed my sins to Claire ( wife of the affable despot Jason) who lives next door.
" I better get my big pants off the washing line" she said, " we can't have them flapping in the wind when there's a big do on"
or she could get some cute little knickers and everyone would be jealous

DeleteI have a friend nearby your location: sporeflections.wordpress.com. you might enjoy his musings.
Bet you both wear big knickers!
DeleteI haven't worn knickers (big or otherwise) since 1977!
Deleteweve just been having a union meeting as i hung my daughters washing out , the subject? why would you pay good money for a bit of string they call knickers these days..lol
ReplyDeleteAll big knickers off the line at our house as we are trying to sell it!
ReplyDeleteI think old farmers have large funerals because they are such a nice group of people and they touch so many lives.
ReplyDeleteIt's only polite to clear the knickers off the line ...
Brilliant, I hide my big pants and bras and dry them in the house, if the neighbours are around !!

ReplyDeleteEvery Monday when we do our shopping, we always pass a washing line with several huge ladies pants drying. We never drive past by without a few words.
ReplyDeleteDon't be rude about my big pants.
DeleteThese are towards Fumel. We always look the other way when passing your washing line.
DeleteI'm only comfortable in big girls pants now I'm nearing 40 much to the girlfriends disappointment, I'm all for comfort these days lol :D x

ReplyDeleteWell, of course.
ReplyDeleteYes the pants must come down....decency prevails....
ReplyDeleteI'll take "granny panties" any day over thong bikinis, also known as "butt floss." :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if she plans to replace them with her thongs!
ReplyDeleteI'm not shy ... my big knickers stay on the line no matter how many coaches full of holidaymakers pass our place each day ;-)
ReplyDeleteA big funeral always presents lucrative sales opportunities. I'm surprised you didn't take along a few eggs and sign some copies of your autobiography "The Dogman of Denbighshire" for the mourners. Folk are more likely to part with their cash when their guard is down.
ReplyDeleteWell all of my show schedules went
DeleteThe churches around here overflow at the farming community funerals. My mother managed a church full with standing room only. It is customary around here to swap vegetables (by the sack) at such occasions and at my Father's funeral over 40 years ago I can still remember estate cars with the back door open and farmers handing out sacks of onions and potatoes and carrots.
ReplyDeleteVeg at a funeral.........i should be living over near you, my show would be full to bursting
DeleteI took it as a sign that day that life goes on
DeleteNot only would I have left my skivvies up, I'd have added even more. A job lot of hugely tartan boxers with shiny ribbons perhaps.
ReplyDeleteSomeone would sure appreciate having a wee chuckle after their funerary duties were completed, right?
Yes. And mix and match for added interest.
DeleteIn my top drawer there are comfy pants with a 3 -inch side seam for everyday and some wisps of lace and string for...let's say recreational purposes....

Crikey ... Way too funny! My mum gives me a pair of her big pants when she goes out. They are such a comfort to me. I prefer it if they've been worn already! ... Charlie!
ReplyDeleteBless her, reminds me of that episode of Coupling where they talk about how pants in new relationships start out tiny and lacy and get bigger and bigger and more and more practical, with the excuse that big pants are now the fashion. :)
ReplyDeleteHoot of a pic . . .
