feeling frustrated
« on: July 09, 2009, 10:08 »
I've had my lottie since last April, and had such wonderful plans for this year.

Yet,feeling frustrated and just a bit unlucky....

march...mystery neuro virus...couldn't walk for two weeks without being held up...muscles went....

May...fell over in Florence....right leg black adn blue and still can't kneel down properly

July..... I was in a car crash on Tuesday.Lucky to be alive, but whiplash, stitches, and the most spectacular bruising and aches and pains.Plus the car's a write off so won't be able to get down to the lottie even if I could drive.

Upshot is the lottie looks wild and rustic, I've got lots of plants grown from seed waiting to go in......and I'm so jealous of all the piccies of lush, verdant, tidy and fruitful plots on here! Oh well, at least the spuds will be fine!..

ANy gardening related jokes anyone????

Really sorry to hear about your awful run of misfortune, annie b  :(

Not very good on the jokes either.

Have you spoken to anyone down at the site a) to let them know the reasons why you've not been able to get there often and b) to ask if anyone can help at all?

I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

One cold night a man is sat by the fire watching his favourite television programme. The wind is howling and all of a sudden there is a tap, tap, tap on the door. The man thinks nothing of it and gets back to his telly. Five minutes pass and there it goes again, tap, tap, tap. So in a bit of a mood he gets up and opens the door. No one there! So he goes back and sits down. Just as before there is a little tap, tap, tap on the door. Up he gets again and opens the door. A quiet little voice shouts out “down here”, the man looks down, and at his feet is a little snail.

The man says rather sternly “WHAT DO YOU WANT?” “I’m cold and hungry, can I come in and sit by the fire and have something to eat”? Says the snail. “NO”, says the man and he lifts his foot, swings it back and takes an almighty swing and kicks the snail right over the garden wall. The man sits down and gets back to his programme.

Six months pass and the man is having his lunch when he hears a little tap, tap, tap on the front door. He thinks to himself for a while and then goes to answer the door. There at his feet is the same little snail and the man says again “What do you want”? And the snail answers back in a little forlorn voice, “What did you do that for?”

Sorry to hear of the series of unfortunate events BTW.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Why do potatoes make good detectives?
Because they keep their eyes peeled.


What did the grape say when it got trodden on?
 Nothing - it just gave a little wine

I'm a gardener and I'm OK
I sleep all night and I plant all day!
I dress in grubby clothing, and hang around with slugs.
Oh I'm happy in the garden
With dirt and plants and bugs . . .
(to the tune of Monty Python's "I'm a Lumberjack")

a few Tommy Cooper-style bits of nonsense (I alweays find they work best for me if I imagine them delivered in his voice and style):

1. Two blondes walk into a building..........you'd think at least one of them would have seen it.

2. Phone answering machine message - "...If you want to buy marijuana, press the hash key..."

3. A guy walks into the psychiatrist wearing only Clingfilm for shorts.
The shrink says, "Well, I can clearly see you're nuts."

4. I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn't find any.

5. I went to the butchers the other day and I bet him 50 quid that he couldn't reach the meat off the top shelf. He said, "No, the steaks are too high."

6. My friend drowned in a bowl of muesli. A strong currant pulled him in.

7. A man came round in hospital after a serious accident. He shouted, "Doctor, doctor, I can't feel my legs!"
The doctor replied, "I know you can't, I've cut your arms off".

8. I went to a seafood disco last week...and pulled a muscle.

9. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly.
They lit a fire in the craft, it sank, proving once and for all that you can't have your kayak and heat it.

10. Our ice cream man was found lying on the floor of his van covered with hundreds and thousands and raspberry sauce.
Police say that he topped himself.

11. Man goes to the doctor, with a strawberry growing out of his head.
Doc says "I'll give you some cream to put on it."

12. 'Doc I can't stop singing The Green, Green Grass of Home'
"That sounds like Tom Jones syndrome.'
'Is it common?'
'It's not unusual."

13. A man takes his Rotteweiller to the vet.
"My dog is cross-eyed, is there anything you can do for him?"
"Well," said the vet, "let's have a look at him" So he picks the dog up and examines his eyes, then he checks his teeth.
Finally, he says, "I'm going to have to put him down."
"What? Because he's cross-eyed?"
"No, because he's really heavy"

14. Guy goes into the doctor's. "Doc, I've got a cricket ball stuck up my backside."
"How's that?"
"Don't you start."

15. What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fsh.

16. Apparently, 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese.
There are 5 people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my Dad,
or my older Brother Colin, or my younger Brother Ho-Cha-Chu?
But I think its Colin.

17. Ireland's worst air disaster occurred early this morning when a small two-seater Cessna plane crashed into a cemetery. Irish search and rescue workers have recovered 1826 bodies so far and expect that number to climb as digging continues into the night.




enjoy!

Life can be a b-gger cant it.

But at least you will be able to look after your lottie when you are able. My son  who lives in Holmfirth has been told that he has to wait for someone to die. ANY VOLUNTEERS ???

Good luck.  Sam and Cheryl.
