Beaker and Dr Honeydew

… aka my husband and I. It seems I had an even more tragic childhood than I imagined as I did not see even one episode of The Muppets. I had thought I was too old for them, but my dear husband tells me I’m not! When he suggested on the phone today that he…

Please use other floor…

Chatting with a friend recently, I heard a funny story… something I said (threatened?) I would probably blog about, but of course promised not to rat out the unsuspecting partner! It reminded me of one of my grandmothers, never using her best crockery and crystal. Not ever, not even for a special occasion. We talked…

I’ve had this comic strip on my fridge for years… however it was not always one that my two boys laughed at it!! I’m sure those of you with teenagers, or who have had them, will relate to this one…

Lipstick fun

Tuesday humour is my theme, and there is no joke in the file, but this image tells a thousand words anyway, and was a lot of fun preparing for. No sign of a mirror, mobile phone too old to make do, so adding Gill’s lipstick was entirely up to me… all for a quick pic…

Have fun today…

Tuesday humour…

My dear husband is the only one in this household to really understand this humour… I’m more of a classical and jazz kind of girl!! Enjoy  your day, wherever you are! 🙂
