Day 12 Friday

My charges daughter comes down from London every Friday to pick her up and take her out or shopping or whatever. She invited me along today so I was off and dressed up in no time. The idea was to split up at the shopping centre and meet back which we did. I have to tell you about the car though. I got into the back of the car which was obviously used to cart a dog around in as it was thick with dog hair, I brushed off the seat but was a bit surprised that she didn't even mention the dog hair. On the way back I asked her what sort of dog she had and she replied oh we don't have a dog he died ages ago. And then she said are you referring to all the dog hair ha ha!

I have another clanger for you from last night. My charge didnt finish her dinner so she said to me "dont throw that leftover mash out you can have it for your lunch tomorrow"! The mash was on her plate. Yeah right.

I have just been dropped off back at the house because they have gone out for lunch so I have the place to myself but I think I am going to go out for a long walk. I will take some pics.

Don't you like left-overs?
Ok, ok that is totally gross and would freak me out too. Totally different from what we consider good manners. BTW the book idea isn't half bad...

OMG, that's hilarious. I just love how the golden oldies get this pompous sense of entitlement. I mean for crying in a bucket, she needs her backside wiped, and yet she consents to DECEND from on high to suggest you have her mashed potatoes. Gee thanks GRANDMA!!

Repeat to yourself 50x a day. "I'm doing this for the pounds, I'm doing this for the pounds!!"

It must be so weird having this worm's eye view of "maid-hood"

But oh man!
EW! EW! EW!
about the potato

I like the book idea - why don't you seriously consider it?

Something like the SARK layout maybe :-)
