The LDS Blob

Alway's one to try and see the 'beauty' in people imagine my alarm at church last week.

To put you in the picture I have always imagined (against my wildest dreams) the 'perfect' LDS gal. This is a throwback to my teen years when the missionaries used to pull out their wallets with photo's of a string of female LDS groupies. All 'Americana' I hasten to add. You know the type, tan, teeth, long eyelashes etc etc. So I imagined all LDS female peeps would be like that.

Enter 'Jabba the Hut' aka 24601 at the back of church during Sacrament (I should say 'Egress') No shoes on, no tights or socks, hairy legs and a car tyre which had been cut into 2 six inch lengths which doubled up as sandals (but to be fair about the hairy legs,I think she must have broken a Gillette MK 3 on a very tricky upward motion. I think she should try 'T Cut' in future, think on that, bald legs and a beautiful shine to boot) This, I hasten to add is what's known as 'Sunday Best' Oh, I forgot to mention, she had in tow a child, aka 'Eponine'

bye mae looves



I think Brother Brigham would have had a word to say about this

A quiet game at the Tribe of Zahra

There is a game called 'BUZZ' which involves 4 players with a handset 'with a red button that you buzz if you think you know the answer to the question. It's formatted like a quiz show on telly and is competetive. A quiz master prances across the floor and some cartoon dame ponces around the answer board.
Lee, Becky and I were having a game and tried to get Captain Zippy to have a game. "I hate those games," she announced to all and sundry in manner which would have benefitted a drama involving Custer's Last Stand
Good. More fun for us then. Now to enjoy this game you must be able to hear the music which forms part of the question. Due to the fact the kiddies are in bed the sound is a little lower than normal, but with a well trained lug you should be ok.
So on comes the questions and we enjoy a couple of sparring rounds.This involves a keen ear and concentration at all times.

Quizmaster..How many members were in the Beatles? (silly question but it is only an example)
FOUR!!! shouted Foghorn Leghorn

This went on with other interruptions which eventually caused the game to be cancelled due to 'Pain stopped Play'

Leo...

0620..Looking forward to a really quiet day today..sun is shining and I can't wait to get out into the garden to finish off the lawns and tidy up the whole garden. Then finish off a John Grisham book.

0857...Read my stars today, an unusual thing for me but listen to this:-" You are an extremely popular person and have many friends. You seem to have an 'animal magnetism' with the ladies and should strike lucky today"

1313... Five grandaughters and three daughters have come up to see me.

1340.....note to self, kill Russel Grant

1351...Observe with despair that my entire 'Smart Price' collection of rice, custard, new potatoes and figs have been annexed for the 'common cause' ie Gardiner's Gullets

1353..."I, Roger Gardiner, being of a sound mind........."
