COME ON.......

You know you are getting desperate when you start cheering on for a Scot, sorry a British sportsman....  Come on Andy, give us all something to shout about.

thinking time for me...

I'm sat here in a quiet room, watching tennis and contemplating what is going to happen a mere 24 hours from now.  Are we going to be full of joy at a brilliant England victory, or are we going to have to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves down and concede that we didn't play at all well and the Germans beat us again.  Oh what a strange thought to be able to see into the future.  Oh how boring and life zapping that would be.  All the great things in life that happen, all the bad things in life that happen.  But life would not be life without the highs and the lows and however much we would all like to be able to see a little teeny weeny bit into the future.... oh how that would spoil the good times.  COME ON GHANA, COME ON ANDY MURRAY, COME ON YOU MIGHTY ENGLAND.......

........ and finally

During the half time of the Argentina match, I said to my parter Ian that I thought my blog was a fittle fluffy, compared to the sometimes serious and clever blog belonging to my daughter Amy.

He said "your blog is the cutting edge of satire"  Do you think he is taking the micky out of me?

WELL DONE....... to

Rafael Nadal - for showing us how to play tennis and how to win with pride

Andy Murray - for giving us a masterclass in how to play, being gracious in winning and not dissing the Queen or the England football team

The French Football team - for leaving this brilliant World Cup and going home in disgrace

David Cameron - for hiding behind George Osborne as he delivered the Budget

Nick Clegg - for having the audacity to turn up in the Commons today and be able to look people in the face

My youngest daughter - for behaving herself whilst going around the supermarket

HELLO MR TUMBLE

"hello everyone, I am Mr Tumble.  I was on the television at the same time George Osborne was delivering his first budget.  I made much more sense teaching my little subjects sign language.  I don't upset people, go back on promises and make people worry about their futures".

What is even more upsetting/worrying/annoying (you get the drift) is not Georgey boy, but the wolf in sheeps clothing, Nick Clegg!!!!!  I consider myself to be a good judge of character but hey, he is clever.  He took us all in.  All us good souls who thought that voting Liberal Democrat would keep the Tories out. All us nice clean living people who thought that Nick was telling us the truth.  Only for him to get into bed with a bunch of rich boys who don't care about our children, us, our pensioners.  All those promises you gave us.  SHAME ON YOU NICK.

My Orchid

Gosh, look how my orchid is doing.  This orchid was bought for me for Mothers Day 2009.  It arrived by delivery driver and when I opened the box the orchid was out of its pot and upside down.  I thought it would not survive the day.  How lovely.
