365/268 Favourite colours.

 

Well I asked JB and she said I wear lots of black, but she reckons as I do that it is RED. I have red carpets through the whole house and red walls in my kitchen / diner and in my bedroom..I buy all kinds of red things.. handbags, scarves and nail varnish!

Mr & Mrs
I have a great story about 'favourite colours' .. quite a few years back we played the Mr & Mrs game with Col's folks and the kids paired up as well.  The people who had been together the longest seemed to be the worst at scoring points, I think because things change and there are so many variables.   Well Col's dad was asked what his Mum's favourite colour was..
'Green', he was sure it was, quite positive. 

Later when Jean was asked her favourite colour she pronounced.. 'Red' ..

Ken was really surprised, he said 'I thought it was Green'

...'When did you last see me wear green? It was Green, when I had gingery hair, when I was young..years ago!?'

.. oh it was quite a debate.. and highly amusing for us bystanders!

Col and I didn't fare much better, he was asked my favourite sandwich and chose 'Prawn'
Of course when I was asked the true favourite I said 'Humous and salad'.. much to his amazement..
'When did you ever ask for a humous and salad sandwich?'

'Well I make them for myself, all the time'

'But when I ask you about which sandwich you want in a garage you always say prawn'

'Yes, but they don't make humous and salad and if they did it would be damp, so I choose prawn!'

Well I haven't lived it down! Funny though.. xx

Polish Dancing?

Little footnote here.. Ross' girlfriend and our Kate have just come in full of beans.. they went to a pole dancing class! Well it has been on the cards for a while and Kate used to be real good at dance, gym and acrobatics so had wanted to go for ages. 

As you may expect I was a little reluctant, not the chosen 'sport' for your teen, but as April had been before I was cool... turns out it is quite a class, lots of dance work and quite strenuous..in fact it was great to know they had been and had some fun and are getting some exercise... Ross made me laugh , muttering to himself...'yeah, my girlfriend and my baby sister have gone pole dancing.. you wanna go too Mum? Then I can say my mum, my girlfriend and my baby sister went pole dancing, that'd sound good...'

Apparently I have to write a note to say it's okay as Kate is still 15. The woman from school reception runs it so she clocked Kate was there. They asked her age and someone thought she was 23... she was worried then 'but I use that Time Delay moisturiser Mum, every day morning and night'

'Yeah, trouble is Kate, the only thing you are delaying is getting to school!'

Zac just called, settling into the new place and college, he has a gruesome cold butt everything else going okay.. apart from the lack of internet.. heavens, how does a child of the 21st century manage.. ah, with internet on phone no doubt!

And tomorrow JB starts her evening class in 'Start your own Small Bakery'.. hopefully it will live up to her expectations..

.. and lastly a little red layout from way back when..
