Auntie Betty’s Bosoms



 I got my redundant PCR test very early this morning and came home to make guacamole, spiced sweet potato soup and sourdough bread.
I also popped to Lidl where I bought a set of acrylic paints and an electric pepper grinder ( like you do) and I then watched the end of the 1957 epic The Pride And The Passion on the couch where I fell asleep and dreamt of Auntie Betty’s incredible bosoms 
The first bosoms I ever saw up close and personal.



Now I have to share here, that I always think of Auntie Betty when I see Sophia Loren in her hey day .
Not that Betty looked anything like Ms Loren, she didn’t, She was a tall Jewish matron, with a deep rasping laugh that sounded as though she chain smoked Cuban cigars for years and I’m sure she didn’t have one Italian bone in her body but to me as a very small boy, she was an exotic, sexual,  incredibly loud larger-than-life character who once, when very drunk, got stuck up a child’s slide with her cleavage rammed full of melting Dairy Milk chocolate buttons. 
Now, explaining just how and why Aunty Betty got stuck up the slide in the first place would take too long to explain, especially as I don’t really remember just how the whole packet of buttons became wedged between the most phenomenal pair of boobs ,which were pushed up and out like two pale chocolate covered melons by the constraints of a 1970 sheath dress hiked up by two metal slide handles.
It was quite a sight for any small boy to juggle with to be sure , let alone one of confused sexuality, but not only did I recognise the sexuality of the situation but also of the bizarre humour of it all and I remember clearly  collapsing into tearful laughter as Betty bellowed at her predicament and the rather all too eager men at the house party tried to carefully prise her free 


Bad & Good News


 Bloody hell! I was pinged by Track and Trace this afternoon ?..
Seeing that I’ve had my jabs ( though not long after my booster) I don’t have to social isolate but the call line operator told me I shouldn’t go to the theatre tonight. Tomorrow I need a test.
Bloody irritating

I’ve deleted the app

That’s the bad news
The good news is more delightful 

The lovely Hattie messaged me today. 
A couple of days ago she had her baby, a beautiful bouncing and rather late baby girl called Freya Mary 
Mum, Dad and baby are all doing well

Hattie and her lockdown baby, My Mary
Then her Freya Mary


Pumpkin


 Sunday mornings, I have found,  can be the most Lonely part of the week. 
Luckily, when I’m not rostered to work,  I have got into the habit of buying a quality newspaper and treating myself to a proper breakfast and bucket of coffee at y shed, where I can pretend I’m in a trendy corner of Manhattan 
For the sake of my sanity, the dogs are now always left in Bluebell , especially as only last week Dorothy rubbed her arse too excitedly against the table leg and upset my illy coffee over the floor .
I’ve just carved my pumpkin ready for its candles but won’t be home later as I’m off to the theatre with friends tonight. 
At least Covid has put pay to trick and treating



Hallows Eve


Albert loves Halloween 

 

Goats on The Orme


 The sky above the hospice is an azure blue and on my break , I wandered outside in order to watch a large group of the wild goats grazing on the Orme. 

The day is well organised and in order and all is well with the world again


No Time To Die ( a few spoilers)

I took my sister Janet to the cinema tonight, it was her first time back to the cinema for two years! 
Nice to have some sister time
 

The last Daniel Craig Bond No Time To Die, has everything but the kitchen sink thrown at it. Craig’s swan song has homages, visual, spoken and musical , from all of the Bond movies, but especially from the least favourite but most romantic of the series, the one with George Lazenby, whose title I have strangely forgotten and it works well, even though it’s a little too long .
I like Craig in it, who had a chance to act as well as shoot his cuffs, and gurn his lips

I love the playful way that the replacement 007 was a black woman and not Iris Elber


I liked the sassy Lashana Lynch as the “new” 007 ( in this movie Bond has retired)and I liked the script which you could just tell had the bite of Phoebe Waller Bridge flowing all through it

Paloma Bond Girl

I also liked Ana deArmas who almost stole the show as a ditzy but rather capable Cuban Bond girl called Paloma
Big, showy, overly talky ,and too love story ish,  it isn’t the best Bond, but it’s a suiting tribute to the Craig Years in the role which made Ben Whishaw, Naomi Harris, Jeffrey Wright and Judi Dench such wonderful parts of the franchise.

The very sexy Jeffrey Wright as Felix


A Meatball under the freezer


The heavens opened this morning on North Wales and the many dog walkers on the Dyserth/ Meliden walkway were found sheltering in small polite groups under the old railway bridges that intersect it at regular intervals. 
The rain was torrential.
And rather threatening.

Dorothy loves walking, so ignores the weather. 
Mary hates wet conditions so shivering pitiably, refused to walk a step further.

We hurried  home and Dorothy only stopped sulking that her walk was cut short after she found a errant Swedish meatball under the fridge freezer

Off to see James Bond later

This afternoon I’m lagging the thermal store tank
I’m one crazy bitch


 

Salt n’ Pepper


This pair of condiments were delivered today
when I was at work 
No note 
No clue who from
Made me smile

I’m tired
