Give me some dialogue from your day

[Lullabelle]

Door fitter: hello, I am here to fit a new back door
Me: yes come on in
Door fitter: would it be easier for me to go round the back?
Me: yes sure, the door is open
Door fitter: ok.

That is as exciting as my day has been. Get's better later though as I am having my hair cut, not sure which one yet

 

[Lullabelle]

Door is in and almost finished

Door is in and almost finished

Gosh. I'm so excited I can hardly yawn.

 

[Lullabelle]

Gosh. I'm so excited I can hardly yawn.

Patience, I will post pictures later

 

[Lullabelle]

Here is our new door

'Oh, can you book my holidays, dates... blah blah to blah blah'
'Yep, where it you're going ?'
'Kefalonia...if its still in one piece when we get there.
Friends reckon wait till we've booked...then they can book somewhere else
In no kind of order...
Booked Egypt...it all promptly kicked off the first time round.
Booked Tunisia...ditto
Booked Crete...within days, the attack on the twin towers took place.
Booked Kefalonia..earthquake.
Booked Turkey....bomb attack somewhere (although i said to the wife, Turkeys a bloomin big place.

Other memorable holiday 'worries'...
The morning we're flying back from Crete, we sat in a bar in Malia having breakfast, watching a massive screen TV ...with a crashed aircraft in flames somewhere in Greece...very comforting
On one holiday in Turkey, i got a text..which left me in no doubt i didnt have a job when i got back

My Dad has dementia as well as walking problems, and I'd taken his rollator trolley round to the village bike shop to get the brakes adjusted.

Dad: where have you been? What have you been doing?
Me: Been to the bike shop Dad like I said, he's fixed your brakes for you.
Dad: Oh splendid, how much do I owe you?
Me: He charged a quid and taught me how to do it for next time
Dad: (gives me a quid after much fumbling).

5 mins later:
Dad: Now what was it you were doing for me?
Me: Got yer brakes fixed at the bike shop.
Dad: Did I pay you for that?
Me: Yes Dad you gave me a quid.
Dad: Oh splendid. Thank you so much for doing that.

5 mins later:
Dad (bothered): Now what was it we were talking about? What did you do just now?
Me: Got yer brakes fixed at the bike shop, Dad.
Dad: And.... did I give you the money for it?
Me: Yes Dad, you gave me a quid.
Dad: Oh good, splendid, thanks so much for doing that.

5 mins later:
Dad: Hang on, don't I need to give you some money?
Me: What for Dad?
Dad: Didn't you get something done for me?
Me: Yes Dad, and I could've had four quid off you for it by now.
Dad bursts out laughing and we all eat cake.

Its hard as your parents get old with all the problems that brings,, but Its kinda nice when you can laugh along together about it.

Thanks for understanding! We do roar with laughter a lot, but it's still hard. He was always a witty soul and still makes twinkly remarks that raise a larff. He could be a lot worse, and when you do something for him he's always really sweet about it. God knows how my Mum puts up with it day in and day out though....

Not really dialogue totally, but when driving back along the motorway from Birmingham last night I overtook what I thought was my old car to start with, but it was actually 1 digit out on the end of the reg plate and commented to dad on it.....5 minutes later and me and my dad both shout out "there's ades old car there" as we overtake his old Seat Leon! I don't find many things spooky but I did find that a bit odd

I used to routinely go past an identical car to my old cavalier (whilst driving the cavalier). The reg was also 1 different from mine and after a while we started saying hello to each other on the daily commute (morning run). It got to the point where we would look out for each other. Never met the guy but it did relieve the boredom of that 2 hour each way commute. It was spooky the way the 2 cars looked exactly the same (but mine had been an ex-company car so that could explain it!)
