Feel free to discuss - just because I'm allergic to the nonce doesn't mean everybody is. 

Brian's phone rang and he took the call
Well howdy there Brian he heard someone drawl
He paled at the sound
That bloke should be drowned

🤣🤣🤣

Yes, I had a white wedding in church, a church near where the wife lived with her parents.
I have never been to the church before (or afterwards) and I don't think the wife or her parents have.  Still the vicar was a very pleasant chap and had no problems with us using his church and his services.  I suspect that we both assured him that we believe in God which, I ought to add, is not the case in reality!
Still, I'm sure we paid some money, thought I can't remember what the amount might have been.
I also asked the organist if he could play a specific piece and he agreed if I provided him with the music score, which I happily did.  Although the piece was new to him, he performed it perfectly, and I am very grateful that he took the trouble to learn and practice it.
I suppose I now feel a bit guilty for us not using the church since, though of course we now live well away from Bradfordistan.
(I'm a little concerned that when I die I might go to Hell, as I made a few small lies at the time!)

Quote from: muddy on Yesterday at 01:05:37 PMI still have a T shirt from my first husband when he was a young man .
I wore it for riding .
Yesterday I thought I must get rid of this I will cut it up for using for painting rags .( it's nice soft cotton)

I just couldn't do it .

No point in doing something you can't undo again should you regret it.

I was cold in bed last night,  it woke me up.  I had to get up and find a nightie with long sleeves as my arms were so cold.
Then this morning I could hardly believe it when the heating had cut in for half hour earlier on!  
This morning its quite windy,  and a mixture of sunshine and showers.

No plans in particular,  just got to go and pay the papers, and then do some re-potting out in the shed.

Beat that for excitement.

He left me a dog.. cat.. mortgage free property and a pension..

I have discussed with my mate what I would say to Sam if he walked into the room..
 I really don't know.. So much water under the bridge.. He would be like a stranger..

My dogs are good company,  they  don't argue,  are always pleased to see me, show a lot of love,  and give me reason to keep going. 

Occasionally I have thought it would be nice to have someone to discuss worries with,  and help with things I can't do,  but as for a cup of tea brought to me in bed,  I can't remember anyone ever doing that for me. 

Thats a long time ☹️

Great photo I bet that little boy would like a copy
