Skid Marks

The dirty holiday clothes , sweaty skid marked shorts and the like are in the washer and I'm lighting the fire in order to have hot water for a nice long bath.
It's nice to be home.
The answerphone had five messages waiting for me when I got in
All but one unimportant , the hospice wants me to go in to sort out some paperwork.
The dogs were pleased to see me too.
George's death has unbalanced them somewhat.
I didn't sleep until 4.30 am, the late night flight home wrong footed me and now I feel groggy and a bit listless .
It feels cold
No choir tonight which is a shame
Jamie and his 1940s RAF moustache are on holiday too


Thank you to Yorkshire Liz for this gift, it was waiting for me when I got home

  1. Perhaps the hospice have heard about your skid marks and so plan to help you to improve your "paperwork".

    1. It's a gift to put a nice spin on skid marks, YP. You got it, I don't.

      A long time ago John and I talked about the two ends (bottom and mouth) and their output; in a clinical setting. Thus we established that he is anal as he has NO problems with crap whereas I do (unless it's a child's nappy, preferably my own child's) have MEGA problems with other people's end product of digestion. He, on the other hand, finds other people's vomit vomit inducing. Vomit is fine as far as it goes. Try not to make it projectile showering everyone in the vicinity. Maybe it's because I am an enthusiastic cook and the half digested and regurgitated has little potential to disgust me. I'd have made an excellent forensic pathologist opening up stomachs, John being given the top job of executive latrine and bedchambers cleaner.

    2. Hey,I'm so excited my broken Marriage has been restored & my husband is back after he left me and our 2 kids for another woman. After 8 years of marriage, me and my husband has been into one quarrel or the other until he finally left me and moved to California to be with another woman. i felt my life was over and my kids thought they would never see their father again. i tried to be strong just for the kids but i could not control the pains that torments my heart, my heart was filled with sorrows and pains because i was really in love with my husband. Every day and night i think of him and always wish he would come back to me, I was really upset and i needed help, so i searched for help online and I came across a website that suggested that Dr Abaka can help get ex back fast. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he told me what to do and i did it then he did a (Love spell) for me. 28 hours later, my husband really called me and told me that he miss me and the kids so much, So Amazing!! So that was how he came back that same day,with lots of love and joy,and he apologized for his mistake,and for the pain he caused me and the kids. Then from that day,our Marriage was now stronger than how it were before,All thanks to Dr Abaka. he is so powerful and i decided to share my story on the internet that Dr Abaka real and powerful spell caster who i will always pray to live long to help his children in the time of trouble, if you are here and you need your Ex back or your husband moved to another woman, do not cry anymore, contact this powerful spell caster now. Here’s his contact: Email him at: drabakaspelltemple@gmail.com , you can also call him or add him on Whats-app: +2349063230051

  13. Sounds like you had a nice time in Spain. What a charming and thoughtful gift to come home to. George was truly the main man.

    Skid marks. They have visited us all from time to time. Waste facilities hate flushable wipes and I understand why, but they feel so much better to wipe one's bottom with. Truthfully I should have had a bidet put in our new bathroom. Us Americans never really think that way though. Oh well! Glad you are back.

  14. Couldn't we have had a photo of those shorts (inside of)? Just wanted to see how it compared with my imagination. :-)

    What a charming gift from Liz. Heartwarming, for sure.

    Ah, the after vacation laundry is the price of the trip. The first things I do after walking in the door is to start the first load. It's the only way I multi-task: load in the washer, load drying, nap (or read or ...)!

    Hugs!

  18. Nothing like sleeping in your own bed after you have been away. I always put clean sheets on before I leave as a welcome home gift to myself.

  19. If you have a dog, it's no good having problems with crap!
    Hope you get a good night's sleep tonight.
