Yesterday I forgot to mention about the bird I had cheeping in my flat. Well, it wasn’t exactly a bird it just sounded like one ‘cheep’, 23 seconds later ‘cheep’ and so it went on. With all the electronic gadgets in one home you can probably picture me running from one place to another trying to work out where it came from. I decided (correctly as it turned out) that it was the smoke/fire alarm. I got on the step ladder and looked inside but as I couldn’t find a battery I called Paul (my son-in-law). “What have you done?’ he asked, as if I only call him when I have a problem. He arrived with grandson Alex and it didn’t take him long to find where the battery was hiding. I gave him a replacement from my stash but ‘cheep’ that hadn’t cured the problem. Paul tried the other alarm I have in the hallway but ‘cheep’ still no luck. We sent Alex to Wilko for new batteries and Paracetamol as I also have tooth ache by now. Batteries replaced and what do we hear? ‘cheep’. Alex decides to investigate and realises that the batteries he just purchased are still sitting on the hall cabinet, his dad had put back the old ones. Paul, I still think you are a star and I think you’re going to get really peed off with being reminded about this little event. We’ll get Alex a mute button although he did do well.
I never got to Debenhams today as I still had tooth ache and went to the dentist instead. They were very good fitting me in and did a temporary fix and I’m going back next week for a proper filling. Still hurts every time I eat though so this might be the route to losing weight before Christmas.
Piers Morgan has been having another go at Prince Harry. I’m not surprised as my eyebrows went up a couple of inches when I read about his latest discourse telling the world to be raindrops. Where do they get this tosh from? Piers’ point was that someone who has 16 bathrooms should start off by practising what he preaches. Now they might not be using all those rooms but there they are, needing cleaning from time to time, using electricity, their swimming pool using water and electricity, their large garden needing watering and so on and on. What a completely irrelevant couple they are, another two mute buttons needed.
My neighbour Nick posted that he was at Alum Chine, Poole today when an unexploded rocket propelled grenade was found on the beach. Well, I wonder who’s rocket propelled that in our direction? maybe it was just someone who didn’t like all those crowds that descended here during lockdown. Excitingly bomb disposal arrived and detonated the device. Nick, how come you were there on Sunday and just happened to be back today when it was found? This is looking very suspicious. Sweet Dreams. 🎄😴💤😴🎄
