Mrs Trellis never puts her bobble hat on properly
It's one of her little foibles
She wears it straight up, pixie style, with the Pom Pom erect as if starched
Can you starch wool, I wondered as I approached
She was standing on her front lawn when I saw her and she looked cross
" My Lawn's a martyr to moles" she sighed cryptically
Trendy Carol ( lovely winter coat in brown btw) is worried too. Her lovely Welsh terrier Seren is poorly and is awaiting blood tests. I told her to text me when she has some news.
Mr and Mrs W, I saw as they emptied their car boot of groceries. Both complained that they haven't seen me for a while.
I apologied and Mrs W whispered that she was having Botox treatment for a dicky bladder the following week
" I 'm up eight times a night at the moment !" She ventured
I sympathised as I am only up twice
We have a new postman. He seems cheerful enough but I did catch him sticking two fingers up at Mary this afternoon as she barked at him through the window
I told my postman the other day that I'd only just heard his gentle tapping on the door. "I didn't want to wake the cat.", said cat being asleep in full public view on the back of a sofa!
ReplyDeleteI never believed that i will be happy again after much frustration. I have been rejected by my husband after Six(6) years of marriage just because he met another woman and he left me and the kids to suffer. One day when i was reading through the web i stumbled at a post on how chief dr lucky the great spell caster has helped people to restore broken marriages and relationships and curing of diseases. I emailed him immediately to help my situation via: chiefdrlucky@gmail.com He told me not to worry that my husband will return to me begging and shedding tears of forgiveness. I am so happy that my husband actually returned to me in 48 hours after i obeyed the words and instructions of chief dr lucky. contact him today in any of your problems for a lasting solution via: chiefdrlucky@gmail.com or call/whats app +2348132777335
Deletepoor mrs. w. I am up 2-3 times a night meself to pee.
ReplyDeleteMy average must be about 1.2 times per night, which at my age (73) is quite an achievement. For last two or nights haven't been up even once. Long may it be so. Sorry for those for whom it's worse.
DeleteJust realised I'm not being fair as, just for the record, every night I'm up between 2 and 3-ish to see to the food needs of my furry foursome - and let them out to prowl if they want, waiting for their return from their nocturnal ambulations while watching latest news. Of course I use that hour or so I'm up to spend a penny - or two. So, maybe not especially lucky.
DeleteTime to start a new postcard competition perhaps? See how cheerful your postie is then!
ReplyDeleteI thought the same hehehe.

So you wore out another postman, did you, with all the mail you receive?
ReplyDeleteYou always have the best comments. Today I was wondering the same thing.
Deleteparsnip
How should one wear a bobble hat? I don't possess one but I would like to know in case one ever comes into my possession.
ReplyDeleteYou need an erect pom-pom just like Mrs Trellis who leads the way in North Wales fashion.
DeleteMrs Treliss' plaint re her garden moles puts me in mind of 'Under Milk Wood' with a woman complaining to Mrs Organ Morgan about the latter's clergyman husband being obsessed with that church instrument:-
ReplyDelete"It's organ, organ all the time with him!"
(Mrs O.M.) "Oh, I'm a martyr to music!"
:-)
I hope Seren will be ok-it's so awful when they are poorly-I can hardly function when mine are unwell.I think I need botox in my knickers too,I did mention to the smear nurse about problems and she said there was a procedure they could do at the doctors- I didn't ask any details as I envisaged her stitching my bits-long dog walks are now involving almost embarrassing moments though.Mr Postman sounds a cheeky chap x
ReplyDeleteflis, ask your nurse about Tibial Nerve Stimulation. It's an electrical pulse that's supposed to help. I'm due to have it later this year. x
DeleteI will-I have never heard of it before.I am in a pickle most days now with it all-I'm 60 and it is a constant consideration-thankyou x
DeleteAh, life in a village!
ReplyDeleteI, too, need instructions on the proper way to wear a bobble hat - and I have one.
Hugs!
new postman? must be time for you to have a postcard competition! lol
ReplyDeleteI cut the bobble off my hat
ReplyDeleteMy thatch grabbed my furry one Sue and ran off with it-it's attached with a popper-it must have surprised him x
DeleteIt’s nice to know my bladder is in good company. I have to stay healthy because sneezing causes real excitement.
ReplyDeleteMrs Trellis is rocking the Egyptian look with the long back of the head. I only wear hats for warmth and pull them down to cover my ears.
Two of our five dogs are old. As we are also in our mid-seventies I sympahize with them.
What gives you the right to question Mrs Trellis's sartorial elegance? Stylish women always favour an erect pom-pom as opposed to a floppy one.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea Botox was a treatment for over-active bladders. Not that I'm that bothered that I pee about six times a night. As long as I get enough sleep overall I'm happy.
ReplyDeleteYour postie needs to work on his kerbside manner....
Glad you've got a more amenable postman. I think that most of them have a difficult relationship with dogs...
ReplyDeleteGreat, a postman that knows sign language!
ReplyDeleteLOL ... a great response!
DeleteOn a serious note, all of those older gentlemen who are peeing a lot in the night, it is a good idea to have a PSA blood test just to check your prostate ..... caught early, it is easily treated. I’m not usually serous but thought it needed to be mentioned !!!!! My husband has a little bit of prostate cancer which was treated with heat and sorted. XXXX
ReplyDeleteShame on that postman - hasn't he heard how you can get even if you want? *coughpostcardscough*
ReplyDeleteYour local ladies all look and sound like wonderful folks!
ReplyDeleteStaying on subject ... I am 76 and am usually up 2 times a night! LOL
What is the significance of raising 2 fingers at Mary?
😕😟😞
Yes I'm wondering the same, two fingers here is the sign of peace. Unless he did that devil horn thing and in that case release the bulldogs!
DeleteThere are two versions of the two fingers - the peace one is with your palm facing away from you.
DeleteWith your palm facing towards you it means feck off, up yours, or something even ruder!
Hopefully Mary thought he was giving her a V for Victory sign.
ReplyDeleteI suggest everyone sends a postcard recording how many times they pee each night, with in large capital letters prominently near the address: "HOW OFTEN DO YOU PEE AT NIGHT POSTIE?". John may prefer that I had not suggested this, but hopefully that will just encourage everybody. (Oh, and just once most nights for me, even though I am 64 and do have a benignly enlarged prostate and my entire plumbing system just passed a full scan).
ReplyDeleteDicky Bladder... that's cute.
ReplyDeleteThe dog will get even, they hold grudges
ReplyDeleteDoes the Botox remove wrinkles, too? If so, where?
