Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Rea - I hope you're still practicing for your old age :o

 

Practising well Beau, this is my aim...

 

WARNING - Jenny Joseph

 

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple

With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.

And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves

And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.

I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired

And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells

And run my stick along the public railings

And make up for the sobriety of my youth.

I shall go out in my slippers in the rain

And pick flowers in other people's gardens

And learn to spit.

 

You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat

And eat three pounds of sausages at a go

Or only bread and pickle for a week

And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.

 

But now we must have clothes that keep us dry

And pay our rent and not swear in the street

And set a good example for the children.

We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.

 

But maybe I ought to practice a little now?

So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised

When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

Who needs practise? I don't :o

 

BTW Rea I see the RSPCA is very concerned as they are getting lots of abandoned ferrets in their sanctuaries. A role for you there perhaps.

 

Oh dont, I saw it on the news last night!! They're just so tempting, especially since we had to have Max put to sleep in August so now we're back to two. Not a good number I've heard incase something happens to one of them, because a lone ferret can get depressed xD
