The phone saga continues……..

Sally – aah Grandmama’s phone- another saga. As you know she had one had Brigstock Manor ( which she now likens to The Four Seasons resort in The Maldives). When she moved to her first room in Addington Heights ( which she now likens to The Staff Quarters at the Dorchester ), I’d booked for The BT engineer to connect a new line . I cancelled this when she moved to her second room at Addington Heights ( which she now likens to the Royal Suite at Gleneagles ). When she decided to move to Uplands ( which fluctuates between Wormwood Scrubs and your local YMCA – where everyone pops in ) I cancelled BT again and re-jigged the connection to Uplands . After 2 weeks there, she’s instructed me to cancel the Uplands connection , as she doesn’t know what to do. Can you be expelled from BT for wasting their time and impersonating and 89 yr old woman ? If yes, I’ll switch to ‘Sky’- or put myself up for adoption.

So I’ll let you know when a final decision has been made and a phone line connected- I’m tempted by the 2 empty baked bean cans on a connecting piece of string.

Today I turned over the calender , just like clicking on Rosie’s website on the 21st of each month, the new pictures pierce my heart….again. August’s photo , is of The SOC , out of Elthorne uniform, In the Bunny park , I think . From L to R is Manpreet,Stu, Izzy, Holly, Laura, Nikki and Rosie . Why Izzy are you the only one doing a Charlie’s Angels impression?

Also today is The national crabbing competition in Walberswick – next year I’m doing it ( I know I said that last year ).

Also also today , 2 years ago , the 5 of us were in Barcelona. we had been to Picasso Museum in the morning and about this time were on The open Top bus , burning our heads. I think about that holiday a lot – we were so happy . here I go , that dam ‘why’ question again. I love her and miss her every waking second – and a lot of the sleeping ones too.
