I feel a bit in limbo at the moment
The paperwork needed before I can start in the hospice is still on going, and I am bursting to give my one month's notice at the nursing home.
Keeping busy is one thing
Moving on is another.
Mary and I met up with " radio 4 Tim" on our evening walk. He is the chap that bought the house next to Auntie Glad's and his post divorce Labour of love is to transport the old school back to its Georgian splendour. I call his Radio 4 Tim because he has a rich speaking voice which could give Richard Burton a run for his money.
It's like verbal chocolate, made deeper by illicit fags, smoked by the back door!
I'm quite sensitive to voices and in particular accents.
I miss the broad vowels and pace of the South Yorkshire way of speaking, and find the sharpness of the mish mash of the Welsh coastal accent rather grating as its part poor Welsh part merseyside and Lancashire .
I've just mooched today
Which is symptomatic of feeling in limbo land.
Oh I did buy a yellow cushion which matches nothing in the cottage at all.( I'm a sucker for Soft furnishings) which Winnie has taken a sudden liking to.
Mary is in season and is playing somewhat sexually with a rather bemused Albert

Illicit fags by the back door. I trouser twitched when I thought of being analy assaulted by a priest.
ReplyDeleteYou get worse
ReplyDeleteSurely a trouser twitch is an improvement in my case x
ReplyDeleteHard act to follow, but I like a good strong voice.
ReplyDeleteMother-in-law from darn sarth used to be horrified by the thought that her grandchildren would grow up to speak in the Barnsley accents she heard on the train when she came to see us.
ReplyDeleteThere seems to be a lot of paperwork to sort out for your new job.
ReplyDeleteNot that much but not many people dealing with it
DeleteMy grandmother grew up in Wales but spend all her adult life in Tottenham. To the day she died her Tottenham accent had a Welsh lilt to it.
ReplyDeleteWelsh people sound quite different depending on which part of Wales they come from, in the way that people from Somerset sound quite different to those from Yorkshire or South London! Where I come from, the South West of Wales, the accent is quite gentle (I think!).
ReplyDeleteI find Welsh accents a bit hard to understand. I have always had a soft spot for Northern Irish, not quite sure why but it quite appeals to me.
ReplyDeleteThe true Welsh accent in the north is quite sing song. I love Irish accents but find it hard to follow too
DeleteRun, Albert, run!
ReplyDeleteHe's in my spare room, hiding
DeleteIt's amazing that Winnie can balance a cushion on her back like that. You should sign her up for "Britain's Got Talent".
ReplyDeleteWinnie likes florals, huh? I totally understand that.
ReplyDeleteOhh I’m a sucker for accents! Yes, please.

It took me a second before I realized you were talking about cigarettes. Fags means something else on this side of the Atlantic, though I WISH it just meant cigarettes.
ReplyDeleteJohn, you do realize that you're going to lose a few demerit points off your gay membership card for buying a non matching cushion!
ReplyDeleteI made a cushion almost exactly like yours this spring when I was desperate to relieve the endless cold grayness of a coastal spring. I loved it but it got on my nerves after a few weeks and had to be removed.
ReplyDeleteMary isn't ''fixed" yet? Hoping for darling puppies someday?
Hopefully your paperwork is moved through quickly so you can start your new job for which you are perfect for!
ReplyDeleteI have a friend called Dudley, and have to resist the urge to call out 'Dodd-lay'in a Midlands accent when we meet.
ReplyDeleteLove accents but still have great trouble understanding Scottish speakers.
Cannot stand the way the home counties set try to mimic a proper London voice, by dropping haiches here and there.
Love the cushion, are you getting Mary 'done'in case of an accidental meeting with an Old English Sheepdog, or maybe a Deerhound!

I love accents of all kinds, they're so colourful. My mum used to hate the London cockney accent and estuary English. Pure snobbery, she liked to think her refined BBC accent was superior to any other accent.
ReplyDeleteKnow just what you mean about not being able to settle to anything when you are waiting for something important, it's hard to motivate yourself to do anything. Even harder than normal!
ReplyDeleteWe have a lovely man in our village who sounds just like Richard Burton who is also an actor. He narrated a village production of Under Milk Wood which was superb. I love his voice and have had a bit of a crush on him for many years.
ReplyDeleteLoving the cushion, it looks like a Joules fabric. Poor Albert, what must he be thinking? hehe x

DeleteWhen my American son was being married in England ( where he now lives), the vicar asked him two days before the wedding if many guests were coming. He replied yes and quite a few from the US. "Why is that?" the vicar asked? Because I'm American" , he replied! "Oh, I thought you were IRISH!" he was told.. and then informed the day before the wedding had to go to London for a special license....!
ReplyDeleteWe have been married over 50 years and My Retired Man now says that he does not understand me because of my accent. One of us has a problem.
ReplyDeleteI hope you hear from the hospice soon. It is always frustrating to be in Limbo.
The Welsh accent from our part of the world, only 40 minutes down the road from your part of the world, is beautiful ... but just too fast to make sense of for us English only speakers. It takes a few minutes of speaking to our local shepherd to get onto his 'wavelength' and begin to understand his English.
ReplyDeleteI have lived in Cornwall for 35 years and love the Cornish accent. However, it can vary such a lot - my elderly neighbour has a very deep, guttural speaking voice and a very broad Cornish accent, so 'foreign' that I rarely understand a word he says! Usually I can translate a few odd words, enough to understand his drift. I always worry that I will say 'Yes' to the wrong question . . .
ReplyDeleteVerbal chocolate! Funny that Moaning Mavis and I got stuck on different parts of your description.
