Hello,
I hope you enjoyed Christmas.
I got a new ointment for my rash, the box set of Smokey And The Bandit and a jumper. I wore the jumper down to the Pickled Filtrum for the traditional Xmas lunchtime pint. My mate Stabman used it to wipe blood up from the pub floor. He saw a man drinking Guinness. He has a thing about people drinking Guinness in confined spaces does Stabman. This and his psychotic condition make for uneasy bedfellows.
It was nice to have our son Lawrence home from the Young Offenders Institute for the day. You should have seen his face when he unwrapped the Ankle Tag cover Shirley had knitted for him! Although he appreciated the crafty stash pouch hidden in Santa’s beard. Thinks of everything does Shirl.
As I nipped in to the smallest room to unburden myself of the Brussels, Shirl stops me at the door, thrusts a can of Haze “Scents Of The Forest” into my hand and said, “Use this and get yer arse into town in five minutes.” This didn’t give me the time to study racing form. I had to settle on Substance Abuse in the 2.30 at Kempton (I thought Lawrence being home was an omen regarding drug use). It romped in seventh.
Why town? For some reason Shirley wasn’t too impressed with my gifts of a toasted sandwich maker and a wind up torch. Handy, practical and self cleaning gifts never seem to go down well. But I should have learned after the mobile dishwasher I bought last year.
But at least I kept the receipts and didn’t have the need of Stabman’s intervention in Argos last year. That was messy.
Laters.

It’s a pity that Shirl didn’t even give Bob the time for a satisfying holiday uburdening.
Hard but fair is Shirley, Guap
I’m going to suggest that in 2013 Bob consider reading from the classics. Perhaps his time could be better spent and maybe Shirl wouldn’t be so impatient if she thought he was raising the bar a bit. Something to consider.
I tend to agree Debra – but when men get to a certain age, consistency of apporach is a great boon to them.
Hi Ginger, so pleased Santa got you lots of useful things!…
Hope you and yours had a really good Christmas.. and you didnt eat too many of those Carrots left out for Rudolph .. I prefer the sherry and Mince pies myself..
Just dropping in to wish you a great Friday and those Brussels sprouts play havoc with your digestion system don’t they? ..Glad Shirl was there with the Magic Spray to hand….
Hope you have a really Great New Year and wishing you all the very best for 2013.
Thank you for following Dreamwalker’s Ginger.. much appreciated my friend..

We did thanks Sue – hope you had a good one and a very Happy New Year to you and your family!
A general comment covering several recent posts, so as not to be too tedious. You certainly have a vivid and somewhat skewed imagination, not to mention some skill with a photo-altering program. I hope as you grow older and wiser that you will consider using your skills and talents for the betterment of mankind, assuming you think mankind warrants it. Happy New Year.
To you too – and I don’t think man warrants it!
