Not being provocative ,but as a child during the war I fully expected to be arrested and interned when I got—————GERMAN MEASLES!!!
I mean to say, how treacherous, my friends did not come to play,which was a mistake as girls need to get it before their child bearing years.
Be that as it may ,I was truly afraid and already not with my parents the thought of leaving the kind people with whom I lived I can remember being very worried.
Does anyone get anguished by the term “Glasgow kiss”?
Skoosh will know, but for those who don’t it is a special form of endearment
seen often outside a Glasgow pub,when one person head butts another during an altercation.
In ordinary terms that is a “ See you Jimmy”—-BANG!
When my naughty little dog was in great trouble with a raging false pregnancy, polycystic ovaries and was a hermaphrodite ( and she only cost £150!) when all was sorted out the Vet said how for her it would be like a mixture of PMT and “ See you Jimmy “ outside a Glasgow pub on a Saturday night!
Had hair cut today ,ready for being institutionalised, a la Yasmeen on Corrie but I don’t dye mine.
Popped in the local newsagents / convenience store, for freezer bags ,well stocked,got a birthday card , a pack of new dishcloths, one pound of SR flour. A tin of corned beef, a small pack of paracetamol as my daughter has none and a two pack of toilet rolls and they had only big packs of freezer bags.
Cost £9 44.
Not bad at all ,no panic and no queue.
If any of you have or have relatives who have their own businesses Ifeel so much for you.
.A member of my family has the third most successful business of its type in the world, yes the world, but it truly is in jeopardy with the jobs of the loyal,efficient skilled workforce all at the point of going .
The owner had a choice ,pay bills with current assets or pay people their next month’s wages.
They have done the latter.
So they will go to the wall with nothing ,but have acted honourably and if ever things recover their actions will be remembered should they be able to start up,again ,which I very much doubt .
So where this came from is if no matter ,it is where it has got to, and what it is doing now it is here .
I truly feel if they want guinea pigs for testing, having had a pretty good life
I would be glad to pop my clogs a few years early, cut out the Alzheimer’s, dementia, the possible incontinence, losing my own teeth ( mind you in a home your false teeth can get lost or be hired out to other residents) etc etc
a planned departure in a good cause might not be a bad thing.
My house would be tidy, organised , because I want prior notice of my demise.
So ,news today on radio is really bad, this will not be over soon , and I say it often but have never meant it so sincerely ,I am glad I am not young anymore .
Meanwhile ,whilst I await the call for the great sacrifice ,I have family,even though worried so much about one and their family, TV. books ,the garden,
Sorting out to do , and of course RootsChat .
Please no one get down because of what I have said, you know I have a quirky sense of humour, but truly I owe life a lot ,and would really volunteer
to pay back.
Off now , more @£&&£@@ drops in my eyes , a cuppa and tackle the veges
for the freezer.
Cheerio everyone ,keep us smiling .
Viktoria.
