Is YOUR garage maybe a bit of a mess, but you don't want to 'rationalise' it, because "if you do, you'll never be able to find anything again" ? Am I right? Or am I right !!!!
Well, join the club! Because this morning, here in rural, semi-leafy Liphook, Hampshire, is talking about local man Harold Randall, just down the road from here in lovely Betty Mundy's Bottom - have you seen it [Source: Onion News]?
For me and my medium-to-hard-pressed wife Lois, here in rural, semi-leafy Liphook, Hampshire, the need to "do something about the garage" is getting medium-to-hard-pressing, if that makes sense! [No it doesn't! - Ed]
We only moved into our current home just 7 months ago - we inherited a messy garage, spruced it up a bit, and then messed it up again, which has been "not much fun" - Lois's words, not mine!!!
flashback to October last year, when Lois and I first looked round our new home
in the company of our 49-year-old daughter Alison, who lives 5 miles away in Headley, Hampshire
Today, however, we at least get the garage door replaced, which is a start. And local "cheeky chappie" fitter Russell does the job for us, aided by his young teenage daughter Mia.
Lois and I showcase our shiny new light-green garage door,
installed today by local "cheeky chappie" fitter Russell,
"ably aided and abetted" (!) by his teenage daughter Mia [not shown]
Flashback to earlier today: I showcase mine and
Lois's shiny new "his'n'hers" garage door "fobs" - nice!
And when Russell and Mia have finally gone for the day, Lois and I have great fun with the shiny new door and our "his'n'hers fobs", lowering it and raising it, stopping halfway (the so-called "fobbus interruptus" (!)), sitting on the fobs, lying on them, seeing if we can make it work sitting in the loo etc etc - we go through all the permutations, you would not believe haha!!!
Could this be our new hobby? Well, at our age, you need something like this to keep the passion alive in your marriage, and this could be "just the ticket" for us, we feel!
Did you see the other big story in today's Onion?
And if "fiddling with fobs" keeps the passion alive in Yours Truly and Mrs Yours Truly's marriage, it'll be well worth the fortune we've paid Russell for it, that's for sure !!!!
Too much passion can be a bad thing, however. Passion, yes, but passion in moderation, that's our motto !!!!
And somebody in the editorial office of Lois's weekly magazine "The Week" (Best of the British and International Media", obviously feels the same, as we discover on the couch this afternoon, when we open up this week's copy!
a "bracing lack of passion" - Vanessa Frake, the Reform UK
party's new star, seen here with party leader Nigel Farage
On the other hand, at the same time you don't want too much "lack of passion" do you, and there's plenty on display on our couch this evening, when Lois and I get all fired up by tonight's televised Prom concert from London's Royal Albert Hall, featuring music from the Americas. Nobody "does passion" quite like the Latin Americans, do they, and there's plenty of that on display tonight, and "in spades", which is nice!
Yes, plenty of Latin-American fieriness on display tonight amongst the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, but Lois and I would particularly like to pick out the orchestra's virtuoso glass rim feelers and ball-handling soloist for special mention.
Who knew that you could make a musical career out of those particular specialisms, thus avoiding having to go through years of torment in childhood and youth, with painstaking piano or violin lessons?
the Royal Liverpool's virtuoso "glass rim squeakers" and their soloist "ball handler"
But what a crazy world we live in !!!!
Will this do?
[Oh just go to bed! - Ed]
22:00 We go to bed - zzzzzzzzz!!!!!
