Well that went well.....

[EcclesCake]

I'm supposed to be working but needed a little distraction so went to prepare tonights dinner.

Peeled potato and parsnip and found the peely bin was full so ambled off to the garden to empty it onto the compost heap. Just about to turn corner and realise that there is a HUGE spider sitting on it's web blocking my way so plot an alternative route to compost.

After emptying peely bin rinse out the sludgy bottom with water from water butt, throw dirty water on veg patch. Veg patch must be very hard as there was an enormous splash back covering me up to my knees.

Come back into the house (treading dirt as I go) and strip off to my knickers int he utility room, get to the bottom of the stairs and the doorbell rings.

I now wonder if Gness and I are distantly related........

[vodkancoke]

Lol poor you Eccles. You and Gness can't be related, she would have fallen over and broken every bone in her body before she even got to the compost heap! ;)

[vodkancoke]

Actually, I am so clumsy I would have too!

[albaqwerty]

were you given a dustbuster too?

You'd have been safer if you'd stayed on here this morning instead of showing us all up y'know
☺

[Baldric]

And the spider wouldn't have stood a chance!

[tonyav]

To right Baldric, that would have been one maimed spider.

[DTCwordfan]

well if you two are related and splice your names together, you can get "Leg accesses Neck"

[gness]

Oooooo Eccles. I need a nice sister. We could go shopping together. And imagine us in an up market restaurant! A cruise!!!!! Gx

[tonyav]

A cruise lol, why do visions of the Titanic come to mind !

[Barmaid]

I've got a really disturbing mental image now of Eccles in her knickers at a post restaurant and Gness armed with a dustbuster.

[Barmaid]

*posh*

[EcclesCake]

I'm not familiar with that yoga position DTC!

That's not a pretty image Barmaid!

[Barmaid]

Anyway, who was at the door?

I hope he didn't say "It's the blind man" (old joke.........)

[albaqwerty]

It wouldn't start off as the Titanic though, a Marie Celeste scenario where the only 2 bodies showed evidence of hoovering up their food.

[tonyav]

LOL^^^^

[EcclesCake]

Sadly no dust-buster for me but it does look like my neighbour has been having a bit of a splurge on Amazon!

Aah, yes I remember the episode of Vicar of Dibley where Alice tells the joke about the nun in the bath when there's a knock at the door, 'who's there she asks?'.....etc, etc....

[gness]

Neighbour hasn't taken in a bookcase Eccles?

[tonyav]

I was that ''Blind Man'', lol amazing what you can get away with wearing a pair of Ray Bans.

[albaqwerty]

I've just noticed the knickers in the utility room. 2 questions
1 What colour
2.Wat style
well 3 really, why does your utility room need knickers?

[EcclesCake]

Gness, when they come round to collect the FOUR parcels cluttering my hall I'll ask them about the bookcase.......

I think I might give up on the work and sit here all afternoon, as per Alba's suggestion.

[albaqwerty]

only if your sweetly showered and wearing clean knick-knacks :-D
