Law of the Theater – At any event, the people whose seats are furthest from the aisle, always arrive last. They are
the ones who will leave their seats several times to go for food, beer, or the toilet and who leave early before the end of the performance or the game is over. The folks in the isle seats come early, never move once, have long gangly legs or big bellies, and stay to the bitter end of the performance. . The aisle people also are very surly folk.
Well I thought winter had finial arrived, we have had a couple of frosty mornings, but no I was wrong. It as gone mild again. I need to get a life, by 7.30 this morning I had washed and dried one load of towels, made a meat pie for hubby to take to work, baked a coffee and walnut cake, 12 mince pies, a jelly, 2 loaves of bread and emptied and wiped out a cupboard I thought there was a leak in, that turned out to be condensation.
All the years I have spent at Sandwell valley first as a little one with mom and dad, then a teenager walking the woods, then with number 1 when he was little and there were two bits I still have never seen one being Sot’s Hole and the other Ice House Pool and Cascade Pool. So on a frosty Sunday morning that’s where we headed and the photos are HERE. The route and maps are HERE and HERE if you fancy a little walk and live close enough. Funny thing is I have walked in Priory Woods many times over the years but always stuck to the woodland walks and must have walked past the Ice House and Cascade pool a thousand times and never seen either. A lot of work as been done since I last walked there, at one time you had to know where the old Priory was as it was hidden by trees, these have now been cut back and information boards put in. Good on one hand but somehow it has taken the ‘feel’ away. A lot of new tracks have been laid making it easer to walk too; I suppose that’s the access to all thing.
On Monday the fuse box refused to reset so the emergency electrician was called out and we were told we needed a new circuit box, so on Tuesday that was replaced.
The porch door was replaced but it took such a lot of banging and pushing to remove the old one that the corrugated plastic ceiling has broken off, so now that has to be replaced, (you know they say money can’t buy you happiness, well at this present moment in time…)
I have read Telling Tales a History of literary Hoaxes by Melissa Katsoulis, a very entertaining book about some of the hoaxes that have been pulled over the last few hundred years.
We have also watched The Big Lebowski and Barton Fink both very surreal but that said good fun. Blood simple. very dark and The Hudsucker Proxy
very funny in a strange way.

Many of us over 50, WAY over 50, or on the way to 50 are quite confused about how we should present ourselves. We’re unsure about the kind of image we are projecting and whether or not we are correct as we try to conform to current fashions.
Despite what you may have seen on the streets, the following combinations DO NOT go together and should be avoided:
1. A nose ring and bifocals
2. Spiked hair and bald spots
3. A pierced tongue and dentures
4. Miniskirts and support hose
5. Ankle bracelets and corn pads
6. Speedo’s and cellulite
7. A belly button ring and a gall bladder surgery scar
8. Unbuttoned disco shirts and a heart monitor
9. Midriff shirts and a midriff bulge
10. Pierced nipples that hang below the waist
11. Bikinis and liver spots
12. Short shorts and varicose veins
13. Inline skates and a walker
And the ultimate ‘Bad Taste’ in fashion ! for the ‘Older folks’…………………
14. Thongs and Depends
Please keep these basic guidelines foremost in your mind when you shop. Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance.
OK! I’ll forget about the nose ring then:)
Good idea
