I have had to pick the tomatoes even though they are still green, we have a caterpillar problem, I have managed to save about half of what was on the plants. I hadn’t noticed because the clever little buggers were only eating the backs out of them, I shall ripen them in the house. I really wish this weather would make up its mind, one week it’s hot the next cold, today has decided to be warm and sunny. I was going to go into West Bromwich, I was going to go to my dad’s, I was going to do some gardening, I don’t feel like doing any of it, so I won’t!
I have just finished reading
Extreme my autobiography by Sharon Osbourne.
What a hard young life she had, how any parent could do what her parents did is beyond me. She didn’t own anything until she was well into adulthood; everything was put into her father’s name, except bills of course, so she ended up owning nothing and owing loads. Can’t wait to read the next one.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that her name is Patricia Whack.
‘Miss Whack, I’d like to get a $30,000 loan to take a holiday.’
Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name. The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it’s okay, he knows the bank manager.
Patty explains that he will need to secure the loan with some collateral.
The frog says, ‘Sure. I have this,’ and produces a tiny porcelain elephant, about an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed.
Very confused, Patty explains that she’ll have to consult with the bank manager and disappears into a back office.
She finds the manager and says, ‘ There’s a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000, and he wants to use this as collateral.’
She holds up the tiny pink elephant. ‘I mean, what in the world is this?’
(you’re gonna love this)
The bank manager looks back at her and says…
‘It’s a knickknack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan, His old man’s a Rolling Stone.’
(You’re singing it, aren’t you? Yeah, I know you are……..)
Never take life too seriously! Come on now, you grinned, I know you did!!!
be Happy

Loved the joke – and, yes, I did sing it.
Hope your tomatoes are good. My two remaining plants don’t look too promising.

I have said it before and I will say it again, the daft jokes are the best.
Judy, I have never tried fried green tomatoes, I will give them a go.
