Told to me by my mom.

Many moons ago when I was a young’un’ I didn’t sleep to well, (still don’t). Mom and dad would lie in their room and listen to me holding a conversation with someone they couldn’t hear. When question about it I told them all about the nice old lady who would come and play with me in the night, I also gave them a description of her. Over active imagination I hear you say, well yes it could have been, but that doesn’t account for the toys from the top shelf being on the floor, or the light being on, when I had no chance of reaching either.
My next big encounter was in the house where I live now. I had not long moved in with husband number 1 and little son number 1. Things would disappear to reappear a few days later, things would move overnight. Then one day after husband and I had had a row a glass flew across the room and smashed against the wall, that’s when things started to get worse. Number 1 son would wake in the night upset by the nasty man, and lights started to turn off and on all the time. Once when I had people over we were sat in the living room chatting away when a vase on the windowsill threw itself through the curtains and smashed at our feet. Needed less to say my friends deserted me! HA HA. I had a friend whose sister belonged to a spiritualist church, and he suggested we get someone from the church to come in and ask whatever it was to leave. So in came the medium and out went our visitor, the medium seemed to think it was the old man who had lived there before.
I still think there is something in this house; I have often seen shadows on the stairs and our cat Val used to stop half way up and rub up something that wasn’t there. I was once up a pair of ladders painting our kitchen ceiling and forgot that I was in fact up the ladder, stepped back and felt a huge push that sent me back onto the ladder causing it to rock. That time I just said out loud ‘Thank you I could have broken my neck.’
I am sure my mom came to me after she had died too. I had a photo of her in the living room and I was having a moan to myself about something when the photo just gently slid off the cupboard onto the floor right in front of me. My mom telling me to stop moaning and get on with it.
I have also be to places that I didn’t know had ghosts and have felt ill, the hairs standing up on my arms and neck, and after when I have asked about tales of ghosts have been told well some people think there is one. The first time it happen to me when our with my now hubby it frighten the life out of him. He said I went such a funny colour, HA HA. Now he’s used to it.

7 more things that drive me mad

1. When hubby drives round and round the car park at the supermarket, (using half a tank of fuel) to find a space near the door!

2. Stick thin people who say I must lose a few pounds, what they want to slip down a drain!

3. Those clearing lines that ring, usually when you are doing something interesting or having a meal, and you have to get up to answer it and the line goes dead.

4. Same lines that ring when you are out and fill up the answer machine with emptiness.

5. People who drive you mad to be at a place at a certain time, then they are late.

6. People who are always late.

7. People who say they will do something, then don’t.

And something that made me happy. Watch this on jono’s site

I had a very strange dream again last night, (I always have strange dreams, I only tell you the ones I find very strange). So here we go, I was all dress up like I was off to a wedding or an interview when I saw a small pin sticking out of a piece of wood, for some reason I picked this pin out and stuck it in my finger. This resulted in copious amounts of blood pouring from my finger like it was being thrown from a bucket all over the floor and walls. I called for my son, who brought me a tea towel to hold on it, (I must just say he wasn’t very quick about this). Then a plaster, after applying the plaster I looked at the blood and it wasn’t red but pink.

What do you think?

Look out its the

JABBERWOCKY
Lewis Carroll
(from Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, 1872)

`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought –
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

“And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!’
He chortled in his joy.

`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

What day

Yesterday I went out early to get some gardening done but only managed to tidy a little and pick some strawberries and Red currants before the cough kicked in and I had to stop. I have come to the conclusion that after 7 weeks perhaps its not going to go away on its own, (yes I know like you and hubby have been telling me for 5 weeks), so I am going to make an appointment to see the doctor.

Then I burnt my hand doing the ironing. The iron is one of those big things with a separate tank and stupidly I kept my finger on the steam button while trying to straighten out the sleeve of the shirt I was ironing, ouch. So I put some butter on it… No, no I didn’t you can all stop shouting at me; I ran it under the tap for 10 minutes. I decided at this point not to do anything else, so I downloaded fire fox onto the lap top as I have suddenly started to have problems viewing some blogs that I used to view. This went surprisingly well, that is until I tried to get into my blog, which it wouldn’t let me. So I had a little play and have found I can access jono’s blog through someone else page but I can’t do this with Judy’s.

Torchwood fans, radio 4 are running three Torchwood plays at the moment. They can be heard on BBC iplayer for the next 7 days. I have just Listened to Asylum

9 things that drive me mad part one.

1.When you go for a meal and the menu states severed with salad and you get a garnish.

2. When people put their washing out for me to wash with sock in a ball, jumpers with one arm inside the body and shirts they have just taken off over their heads and left all the buttons done up.

3. People who repeat what I have just said.

4. People I tell my ideas to, and then they pass them off as their own. This used to happen a lot at work, one day I will learn to keep my mouth shut.

5.People who make cups of tea/coffee and leave rings of said tea/coffee on the surfaces, or sugar or teaspoons when the sink is right next to where they have left the spoon!

6. When I tidy up and other people walk in and just drop their bits and pieces down.

7. People who are too ill to work, but make a speedy recovery if someone phones to go out.

8. People in the 10 items only line at the supermarket with a trolley full of stuff. They then put 10 items on the belt followed by one of those little plastic dividers then another 10 items and so on and so no until the trolley is empty. Then pay for each set of 10 items and the cashier says nothing! I have been behind these people and I have said something, to be given a list of excuses, one of which is “I am in a hurry”. Like I am not, I have all day to stand behind stupid people who have no regard for rules put there to help the flow of customers!

9. Points for bags, when you get to the checkout with a trolly full of stuff and they ask ‘how many bags will you use’ How the hell should I know until I have packed them.

Feelin hot, hot, hot

Well what a weekend that was, news that three people are about to/have ended their marriages, one of which was no surprise and one of which was a shock. Just goes to show ‘never take anything for granted.’

We had a pleasant Saturday not the one we had intended but nice never the less. We were going to go walking but the weather forecast said rain, rain and more rain so we went to annoy I mean visit sister-in-law always a laugh, she is one of those people who something is always happening too and if not her someone she knows. Then we went to my sisters but got no answer, (she later phoned to say she was in but didn’t hear the door)! So we went to Stourport for a walk along the river and an ice-cream, the weather was beautiful.

Sunday we went for a walk around Sutton Park and had a look at the ponds and ducks, (photos on the side) and got covered in doggie foot prints from a very excited dog who had just been swimming and wanted to play, I can see how some people would get annoyed, but I found it very funny. We used to walk here a lot at one time and we were happy to see it was still well maintained

It’s so hot here and it’s going to get hotter, or so they say. We shall have to see.

On the news

Woke this morning and put on the news to hear Michael Jackson had died, yes very sad but dose the news really need to report nothing else? I turned it off in the end, I like the morning news (5 till 6) I like to know what as gone on over night, but half an hour of the same report and photos/film is just too much. I know it’s the same when any high profile person dies, but really a report then other news like any other day would still let everyone know.

Put 6th July on your calendar, that’s when the week long torchwood starts.

Fairies, Werewolves and Donkeys That Poop Gold

I have said it before and I will say it again, if you enjoy a good story, told with enthsiasm and humour you must go and see John Edgar. John is a story teller, a good one, the type that takes you along with him to the places he talks about, to meet the people and creatures that come from the stories he tells, and I met him last night
and he didn’t disappoint.

So as you have guessed last night we headed to the Alan Garner Centre to see John tell Normandy Tales. Stories of fairies, werewolves, a table that is always full of food and a donkey that poops gold, a ghostly love story and much more. But I am not going to tell you because I want you to go and see for yourself, and just so you can’t say you didn’t know here are his site and his diary.

Now if you will excuse me I am going for a cuppa and John is going to tell me another story… I brought him home with me…well on a CD anyway, (which you can also buy from his site, I think).

And remember the time to be happy is now.
