HALLELUYA GOLF ??

Here at Sheila's indian restaurant its all systems go,I am busy doing posters to involve the good citizens of Sheffield in church activities,will this rescue me from the fiery furnace? of course not but I may get the warehouse job and escape the coal shoveling.
I notice Montana Mike is playing golf with a partner he refers to as jc, surely it can't be
THE J.C.!!!!
Here on a more materialistic note the weather is typical English Wind Rain Clouds with patches of lighter grey.
Home alone again Montana,it must be something you are saying to your fellow residents, it pays not to upset waiters and especially cooks as I know only too well from my inebriate ramblings in a certain Kansas City steakhouse.
We are expecting Susan this weekend but so far she has not arrived,I shall have to put extra beer in the fridge ready for when she gets here,luckily she has a dislike of whisky,so my "medication" is safe.
Montana Mike asks if I have flights booked for Fla. but I am trying to save up for a little longer
and I am sure the Dogs will want a little quiet time between Sandra the Pom and Me visiting.

THE TROPHY

After much trial and error and Flippin ecks I have managed to get a photo of THE TROPHY on

to my blog this is the cup Sheila came in with last night from the Charades contest at the WI

She was on a massive adrenalin high and came in brandishing THE TROPHY and BRAUNGIN!

for those not conversant with the Rotherham dialect,that translates as Bragging, its a bit

Wednesdayite if they finally manage to win a game at the 7th attempt of trying.,they

"Braunge".

Its all gearing up for the curry night here lots of coming and going with large pans .

The weather is wintry with a cold north sea onshore wind blowing in rain showers

I shall now attempt to take another photo to put on Sheila's blog,so thats it for now.

EARIWIGGI GO!! EARIWIGGI GO! EARIWIGGI GO!!.

I have no pictures for the darts match,took a couple but they were too dark so words only.
It was a very entertaining for spectators!! Sheila won one and lost one so not a bad result for her first game,the standard of play was not of premiership level but with practice could improve,(lot of practice) one contestant was Mrs. Broccoli who in her formative years in the mining communities of warwickshire was a Javelin thrower!!I am assured this is true,she also drinks eariwiggi coffee,it seems she had a coffee at weightwatchers and in the bottom of the cup was an earwig the warwickshire pronunciation is "eariwiggi" to be said with a brummy accent.
The reserve team were mainly immigrants to the area,and the locals were in the main the first team.
The homesick Sheffielder Doreen tried valiantly as did all of (MY) team,the local BIG HITTERS were really rather serious about it all and later all the ladies devoured chips and sandwiches,including the two weightwatchers Mrs Broccoli and Dee Daa Doreen(the homesick one.
The scores were in the main fairly low and so the Games were rather lengthy,in fact the president of the WI was becoming worried as she promised to be home for 8.30.and it was around 10.45 by this time.
The area around the board was a little pitted toward the end of the evening,causing the Landlord to ask "does anyone know a good plasterer".
Due to the number of low scoring throws the Scorer had to ask for more chalk to be supplied.the average throw would score around 30. but big oaks from little acorns grow, and it gets the girls away from the soaps on telly.
It also gives sarcastic buggers like me the chance to take liberties in my reporting,but as my old pal Moshe Jones would say"its all part of lifes rich tapestry"
The only worry now is repetitive strain injury,so we shall have to find a good physio.

Weekend of Excitement

Saturday we visited Gentleman George's palatial residence,he had been out and played 4 holes at golf,which was good news as he has'nt been up to golfing for some months,he asked me to saw the top off a tree stump so he can fix a bird table on it ,he presented me with a saw out of the ark,never had oil on the blade,me and Sheila gave it a try but could have had more impact with a nail file,I went home and brought my saw which did the job ok.
His building extension is well on now and will make the stately residence even grander.
Today Sunday went up to the village for a paper and posted a letter,came back and had bacon egg mushrooms and tomatoes!!!(free range eggs) this latter comment for Montana Mike's benefit,but true all the same, 4 hens look as if they have escaped and were enjoying the run of the prairie,came home and cut a privet hedge well back ,breaking off to watch 2 football matches on sky,West Ham v Newcastle good open game which Newcastle won 3.1 but the game was more even than the score suggests.
4pm. watched the Man U v Chelsea game Manchester won 1.0 but the ref spoiled the game by sending off a chelsea player for a yellow card tackle , I think Man U would have shaded it though had he stayed on.
Tomorrow I have to go to the DARTS MATCH at the Turks Head Pub ,I have been made an accredited reporter for World Class Coaching Kansas City, and have to report to Montana Mike on the Match,I think I may take the camera and get pics as well.
Had an instant message conversation with Dave Dawes who was waitng for a delivered bacon sandwich and probably salivating at the prospect ,she likes her grub does Dave.
Now an evening of television viewing is in prospect one can have too much excitement.
Thats it for now.

Wet to Dry

Just arrived back from Gina's at Preston left in torrential rain as we always do massive hold ups on the M62 till we arrived on the yorkshire side of the pennines from there no rain and little traffic,that motorway is not only the highest in Britain its one of the worst to drive on.
We inspected the house they are looking to buy along with Andrews parents,general opinions were it was ok, needs decorating to their tastes but does'nt seem too much wrong,so they need to have a survey done and proceed from there.
Poppy the kitten has twice pinched the little pineapple plant we took she appears not to like pot plants,not into gardening it seems,and yet she has'nt disturbed a basil plant ,it may be the strong scent is something cats don't like.
Thats about it for now Sheilas big day on monday DARTS at the Turk's Head pub!!!

Preston West End

Here at Preston,RAINING well it is Lancashire,Sheila brought a pineapple plant for gina but Poppy the kitten seems to dislike pot plants and has taken it into the other room to play with leaving soil strewn across the floor!Sheila just called from the kitchen,Poppy has done it again,so have repotted it but it may not survive.
We are left to entertain ourselves till Gina comes home around 2.30 from work,trains are trundling past over the road on their way to blackpool,but today it is probably a dismal sight in the rain.
Montana Mike is claiming injury I know he is playing Sam the pom at golf this weekend,is this a tactical ploy or is it an excuse to use in the event of losing?

Weasel have rain !

Today not done much, been to the village garage with La Signora,she has closed the bookings for the curry night,so we went to remove the ad, from the garage,I checked the air on the tyres,then came back to the little house while sheila did the shopping.
sat in the "conservative" and watched a weasel struggling across the grass with a large mouse in its mouth,it might have been a stoat,because it looked about 12 inches long,but I couldn't see if it had a white underbelly.
Its very dry down here and the preparation work for planting is creating clouds of dust,we have avoided it up to now but Gentleman Farmer George looks to be in direct line of fire.
some showers are forecast and the farmers will be happy about that,but not so good for yours truly,who likes hot dry weather.
Watched a programme about the mafioso they caught in Sicily,we know most of the places featured and it set us off wanting to go.
Spring is the best time there lots of wildflowers and greenery which all burns up in the summer. leaving everywhere ochre and black.
Tonight I am home alone and guess what,there is no football on sky tv!!
I think montana mike may have rigged his scales he claims to have lost weight,but is eating loads of organic rubbish????
Visiting Gina for her birthday so cross country drive is in the offing, and viewing of proposed house purchase.
Last night must have been cosa nostra night Sopranos was on ,and it seems that the actor who plays Tony Soprano is not a very nice bloke in real life.
