Who's scared?

After reading the last two posts from my brother no1broadstreet I find it very hard finding a worthy subject. Of course I must mention the Skype link on Friday with my brother and his wife. It was like sitting in the lounge with one another and we enjoyed it tremendously.

To top things we could see my brother and his wife and he could see us, what a tremendous leap forwards in technology! (For me that is)

Thursdays is my workday meaning the janitor job, which my wife and I have been doing for the last 22 years, as a side job. On Thursdays I clean three blocks of flats, they are not all that large and it usually takes me three and a half hours to complete the job. This week it took me a little longer, I think the antibiotics that I am taking are slowing me down a little, anyway I had the feeling that the job was harder than it really is.

Friday we went to the garden centre to buy some flowers for the our window boxes, mostly we never leave the centre without spending more then we intended to. Ah! But this time we managed the impossible, we only bought what we intended to buy. Alas, this morning (Sunday) we were once more at the garden centre buying more plants this time for the flowerpots.

Talking of gardens and gardening I have decided to redo my lawn. Now this is a under taking at the best of times and I admit it took me along time to commit myself to this punishment. There is no turning back now because I have once again opened my big mouth to our neighbours left and right from us telling them of my intentions.

My wife scared me the other late afternoon; when she went for a walk with our dog leaving the house at ten to five. Now normally when she goes for a walk she is gone for one hour or just over but this time it was twenty past six and no sign of her, I had no idea were she could be and as usual she hadn’t taken her mobile phone with her. At half past six I was starting to get a bit worried in case something had happed to her, all sorts of imaginations went thorough my mind. Dead on twenty to seven my wife came through the front door and could not understand all the fuss that I was making. “I said were the bloody hell have you been and like always without your mobile” her remark on that was "stop making all this fuss and were the heck do you think I have been” and that was that.

Today Sunday and the weather has picked up in fact we had coffee and cake out on the patio this afternoon and we put the marquise out for the first time this year.

On Tuesday I am off to my friend to install a Blog for him, we had a go a few weeks back but because of the death of his mother and on this particular evening he received a phone call from his brother saying that his mother had been admitted into hospital and the doctors had given up on her, (she was 92 years old) we did not complete the setting up.

Take care out there were ever you are. Tschüss.
