The village Community Association has once again proved itself to be a robust body of souls by preparing the village for the next zombie apocalypse
Now when I say Zombie apocalypse I'm actually paraphrasing their official line which goes as follows
Yes............. ....zombies!!!!
I'm just about to leave to complete my speed awareness course and it's a lovely day to be lectured at.
There's a funeral in the church today but I didn't quite manage to catch village elder Islwyn to see who it was. That was being buried .
I've yet managed to catch the head honcho of the Trelawnyd Women's Institute too. Apparently I've giving them a talk soon! So I must do that this weekend.
I'm still giving Old Trev his daily injections and have had to leave myself a note on Bluebell's dashboard reminding me to do so.
I gave Mrs D a lift into Prestatyn the other morning and had to explain to her what the dashboard note proclaiming " Trevs Bum Jab" meant
I'll post the final entries in the postcard Challenge later tonight. It will be late as I'm off to the theatre with a friend
But I will leave you with a big thank you
A thank you to an anonymous blog reader who I suspect lives in North Wales
Recently I have received several gifts from unknown readers for which I am ( totally) very very grateful for ( you know who you are) and today I received a package with a handcrafted bowl in it...
Quite, quite.. lovely
Thank you

Yes............. ....zombies!!!!

Enjoy your day John! That bowl is absolutely beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteits been an eclectic day! in the widest sense of the word
DeleteBeautiful bowl. Hope the course goes well and theatre even better
ReplyDeletethe course was very instructive and interesting, the 50 people on it all thought it useful me thinks
DeleteThe bowl is beautiful. The postcard competition has been absolutely amazing!
ReplyDeleteits been frivolous and fun as it was meant to
DeleteOh, the notes we leave for ourselves,
ReplyDeletetee hee
DeleteI trust the bum jabs are making Trev feel better!
ReplyDeletehe/s not fussed
DeleteThe bowl is lovely and I enjoyed the contest so much. Take care.
ReplyDeletethe final will have you on the edge of your seat
DeleteZombies? Thought we already had them in the community and had tamed them.
ReplyDeletethey can never be tamed ! never
DeleteOhh love the bowl! What a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think I wanna read about your experience with the whole speed awareness thing. Really.
XOXO
it was sobering and informative and interesting
DeleteI learned to drive in 1978 and boy are things different now, the cars themselves the highway code the rules ..........
they reinforced with most of us why the rules are the rukes...they make sense
Ah the kindness of folk. Have been watching the postcard competition with interest. Are you going to make it a yearly thing? That bowl is gorgeous and it has come to the right home. Take care. Tricia x
ReplyDeleteA very good idea. Helps get us through January. We can be looking out for postcards during the rest of the year.
DeleteI am going to talk to the art group in the village for ideas of how to use the cards sent!
DeleteKarma, John, coming back to you in these thoughtful gestures.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts too
Deleteand the written messages have been so much more personal and supportive and interesting than anything we can see on the other more picturesque side
DeleteOMG! Perhaps you could arrange for Daryl to come and do a talk on preparedness and weapon making in a zombie apocalypse. He'd have to stay at yours overnight obvs!
ReplyDeleteive already emailed him and carol
DeleteWhat an entertaining post!
ReplyDeleteIt raises the question in my mind: Do zombies know how to unplug generators?
Ta for the chuckle about "Trev's Bum Jab". I imagine Mrs. D got a chuckle, too.
Lovely, lovely bowl!
Hugs!
of course they don't! duhhhh
DeleteThe bowl is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI adore the fish!
DeleteYou have done a marvelous job of cheering yourself up and giving us readers a lot of fun. What a positive thing your postcard idea turned out to be!
ReplyDeleteThe bowl is lovely.
last weekend I hit a new low.....after reading the social media of my exs new life!
DeleteI need to move forward
John can't say how much I love you and appreciate you x ok we have never met except through your blog. We are both on painful journies letting those we love go. I don't go anywhere where I can see my ex and am very grateful to all the people who have come out of the woodwork lately to tell me of course they new he wasn't right for me and they new he was cheating on me. To all those friends apart from one I say a huge thank you and now please feel free to exit my life for ever. I still love my ex but I will work through it my own way in my own time as you will too. Let's believe together that we will get through this I hope I am not being presumptive but I feel your pain. I get myself tarted up as far as a woman of 62 can! And I go out and talk to people and have a larf!
DeleteYou are loved.
ReplyDeleteThank You for the "Great Postcard Invasion" it has been so much fun.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bowl It will look wonderful in your kitchen.
cheers, parsnip
you are one of the finalists
DeleteJohn, your new name is a phenomenal statement of the new journey.
ReplyDeleteI hope so
DeleteLovely bowl, and simply wonderful friends you have.
ReplyDeleteOnly a nurse would write "bum jab." The rest of us would blather on.
ReplyDeleteThat bowl is lovely.
good job I didn't write arse jab
DeleteRemind the generator folks that they need to somehow stockpile the gasoline that the generators use, as gas stations cannot pump gas during power failures. [and also use them outdoors so everyone isn't asphyxiated] The lack of gasoline is one of the biggest probs both for cars and generators, after the apocalypse, in my case H Sandy in NY.
ReplyDeletelizzy
yes a good point!
DeleteI hope more thought has gone into the generators than did the one we have at work. It's only been used once, when I was on duty and the thing fills the entire building with fumes!
ReplyDeleteat least the lights would be on at our final stand at the hall
DeleteYour ability to paraphrase is one of your best writing techniques, actually!
ReplyDeleteIs Trevor flinching when he sees you yet?
thank you dearheart

ReplyDeleteOh what a beautiful bowl!
DeleteGifts, postcards - well surely by now John you must realise just how much we all love and admire you.
ReplyDeleteThe bowl is beautiful, and the postcards competition was a great idea, it was lovely to be part of it, and to read all the comments of other people, John You've been loved by so many people of all walk of Life, it is your personality and thank you for that 🌸🌸🌸
ReplyDeleteI am a firm believer that people like to be part of something
Deletea village, a friendship. a competition, a flower show,a blog x
I really love that bowl! I wonder if the sender made it themselves and if so, I want to buy one. :)
ReplyDelete"Trevs Bum Jab" - Band name? Album Title? Tavern or pub? Possibilities are "endless". LOL
Jarvis cockers new band
DeleteHi John. The funeral today was for the lovely Lloyd Jones from the farm off the main road.
ReplyDeleteLoving your post and your bowl xx
I know who you mean....I never met him but I used to see him drivng around a lot
DeleteThe bowl is a beautiful gift and you are a worthy recipient for all you do to help others. Postcards from Somerset are non existent/abysmal, I'm ashamed to say, so have sent a virtual one via pm (I know, not in the spirit of the competition...just thought you'd love Olive, I do). Good to know precautions against the inevitable zombie apocalypse are being taken seriously in Trelawnyd.
ReplyDeleteas long as you've enjoyed the entries Jacqui!
DeleteThe postcard competition has been so much fun for everyone I think and if it cheered you then it has more than served its purpose! I am relieved to know that your lovely village is now ready for any Zombie apocalypse that might occur. The bowl is a lovely gift!
ReplyDeleteits been a frivolous romp!
DeleteThat IS a lovely bowl and how nice of the sender.
ReplyDeleteI wonder who it was and would love to know xx
DeleteCards and a lovely bowl you are loved by your many fans have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely bowl. I do love a good bowl ... I have more bowls than I have things to put in them 🤣🤣
ReplyDeleteGlad the village will be safe in times of zombie attack. I should start planning our defences!!
