Dribble

Heulwen and Hattie

I dribbled over myself in choir tonight!
It was all Jamie's fault!
During rehearsal of one of the more upbeat numbers, he started to suggest that we move and sing together .
I don't do singing AND moving together so I frantically looked at the tenors for some sort of support
Now Heulwen and Hattie know my co ordination fears when it comes to the African songs and both flashed me a supportive smile back
I pulled a face back and promptly dribbled down my polo shirt !
DRIBBLED!!!!!!!!
I'm 57 not fucking 4!!!!
Luckily only Hattie noticed and she and I spent most of the next song giggling like schoolboys

Our supporting performance at The Rivers' concert is still on for Saturday night at our own village Hall. I have offered to put one of the choir up for the night!
I warned Jamie they must be able to cope with hysterical bulldogs, a needy Welsh terrier and a cat with attitude
His usually affable 1940s RAF face looked a tad worried
He's put me on the reserve list!

  1. How our bodies can embarrass us! And isn't it strange? I mean, we're all humans, thus animals, and we all have these bodies which all do the same things so why is it socially unacceptable when the bodies do some of these things in public? I have no idea and yet, I would rather die than let's say- fart in public. Even writing that I cringe in great shame.

  5. It can be so embarrassing can't it John-but as I've gotten older things happen unexpectedly which at first I was a upset about but now I find it a bit funny x

  6. Believe me John, when you are 86 going on 87 dribbling comes naturally.

  7. Feh, the reserve list! SURELY there's an out-of-town choir member who can brave your animals! Keep us posted.

    1. I think you should charge a small entertainment fee with all your animated animals!

  9. Mouthwatering good times. I needed the giggle, long boring board dinner tonight, the board member next to me got drunk waiting for dinner to be served.

  10. Usually my spit goes the other way and gives me a choking fit. Ah, life - full of surprises and not all of them good :)

  11. I'm like jenny_o, I often aspirate my spit. I told my co-workers that at least I know what is going to kill me, aspiration pneumonia.

    You had a good giggle though, so there's that:)

  14. Have to confess I sometimes dribble on my pillow while I'm asleep. Embarrassing, but I suppose not too bad considering I'm 72.

  15. If my wife was away, I would happily put Hattie up for the night.

  16. No, you're not four. You're just human. Can't wait to hear how the choir performance goes.

  17. Being entirely ignorant of Welsh names I always assumed that Heulwen was a male name! Having just googled it, it's a lovely name and I apologise to Heulwen for my ignorance.

    So, you're young at heart and ...! Really, sometimes you've just got to laugh. :)

    If you're on the reserve list, does that mean you have to clean house and put clean sheets on the guest bed just in case?

    Hugs!

  19. control over orifices is not necessarily your strong suit.

  20. Ok, I’ll admit it, I’ve dribbled once or twice myself. I don’t think I’ve ever been caught, but you’re making an honest man of me... or maybe a shameless one, like you!

  21. Heulwen, if that is she on the left, looks like the Duchess of Gloucester.
