Bad Granny

Hello All.

I have missed posting for the second time.
I guess this means I lose the post a day challenge.
Damnit.

The show on Friday was quite good.
Well, Nick Rabinowitz was excellent.
We had some good laughs.
It was just very long.
The light was bad and the sound was worse.
Fortunately, Nick is quite loud so we could hear him.
Everybody was volunteers so I suppose one can’t complain.

There was a raffle.
With several prizes.
My DIL won a six pack of Vawter and a book on sharks.
I wasn’t envious.
I don’t drink spirits.
Though I like their ads.
And I really don’t want to know too much about sharks.
One of the prizes was a free lesson on how to stand up on your surfboard.
Or something like that.
I DIDN’T want to win it.

We got to bed after midnight and I had to be up at five thirty.
Mex had to be at the airport a seven thirty.
We are about an hour from the airport.
I discovered, when you leave at that time of the morning, it is a bit quicker, so Mex had a bit of time to kill.

Day one without Mex.
When I was ready to leave for the beach this morning I could only find one front door key and remote.
Eventually, discovered the front door was unlocked.
With the key on the outside.
Now this might be ok in America or Canada or Portugal or England or Australia.
It really shouldn’t happen in South Africa.
Mental note…check ALL doors before going to bed!

Day one with 17 year old teenager.
Her…look I can play the drum on Jasmine’s butt.
Me…there will be hair everywhere.
Her…still beating out a tune…I will vacuum tomorrow.
Me…(under my breath) Grrrrrrrrr

On the upside she DID vacuum.
And she cooked supper last night.
And she washed up.
And she picked up dogpoop.
And she took Jasmine for a walk.

On the downside I know more about her project than I ever wanted to.

Also on the upside my Grandson came around yesterday.
Cut the grass.
Without me even asking.
Have I mentioned that I love that kid?
He is one in a million.
Actually, they all are.
I miss the two sons of the daughter I am not talking to.
Good thing I have so many grandkids!

As you can see it was quite grey on the beach.
But there was no wind and it was great.
I had a nic chat to a lovely woman with a Spaniel pup.
Which had Jasmine running up and down the beach.

Now I have my DIL and two grandkids coming for supper.
The nearly 19 year old.
And his 7 year old sister.
The menu is beef stew with brown rice and cabbage.
Mild tart for pudding(Granddaughter is making this as practice for her project)
I had better start getting things prepared.

Have a lovely day or evening.
Depending on where you are.
