After the excitements of the last couple of day's, my mate Chippie and Tinkerbelle, and their problem of passing a comment (I can't do anymore for them), followed by my other friend "Britbull" (don't be offended, I had to think something up quick - if you don't like your alias, let me know what you would prefer) wife and daughters, or is it wives and daughter - who suddenly had the excitement of being back on-line, with an address at a sort of exclusive thing in the USA "42nd St". Shouldn't it be "42nd Avenue"? But then they would have to change the family name, and that would be silly - wouldn't it! Not even AOL - there's only my mate Chippie who's into American things-including Ketchup! He's the only guy who has got me to ask for a bottle of Ketchup in a French restaurant for his steak Tartare!
Anyway, after all these excitements, back to a QUIETER BLOG OF TRICKS!
Or so I thought!! The postman brought some wonderful news which I won't go into on this page(a longer, very embittered letter is planned) except to say that I will probably find myself, like many of my Aristocratic peers as the object of an "overdebted" or "surendettement" procedure, all down to Socialist governments. I'm not really that worried, for I beleive debtors prison's are now abolished - a shame really, for 3 square meals a day plus accomodation, together with my rights to health care and protection (apparantly more respected in Prison than outside of it) are, frankly, an enticement for going off the straight and narrow! Anyway, a posting later in the Blog.
Will ignore the nasties for today, and concentrate on my amusements, this being my day off! Yesterday was Gardening day, in what will be some of my friends BBQ headquarters in summer.
Tomorrow is little repair jobs around the same house (!) not bad for a gardener, is it? My old fault - to generous and too quick to offer my services! THIS WILL HAVE TO CHANGE IN THE FUTURE!!
Friday will then be back into the garden and try to get the trimming of a hedge finished, so I can burn the cuttings before burning is no longer allowed. Any source of heat is welcome, and I shall put some big potatoes in alu foil into the fire and eat them later!
The weekend is the time for daydreams and nonsenses! Although, as I write these lines, I am guilty of daydreaming a little already, listening to Strauss Danube and other waltzes, and thinking what it was like in the past, when we, the aristocracy, did what we were supposed to do -sit around Vienna Cafe's and listen! Ah yes, I remember it well!
Just mental meanderings this posting, but I'm saving myself up for the all out attack on Mr Blair, Herr Schroeder, the socialists they represent, and against the equally senile members of the Conservative/Right wing all over the world, probably. All politicians, other crooks and frauds will be mentioned as well, so it should be quite a gory battlefield! I will treat "lighter" subjects up till then!
