Monday Peeves

Mum says encountered two of her pet peeves today.

1.  Tights that get a hole in the toe that works it way like a tourniquet around said big toe, so tight you are sure it is going to fall off.  Also it was cold and mum couldn't be bothered pulling off all of her clothes to get the tights off.  Luckily when she got home, the toe was still pink and did not require amputation.  It has repaired sufficiently after a few hours in sheepskin slippers.

2.  Taking a nap with me when she got home, and then waking up and realising it was more than a nap.  The middle aged mumster checked her watch and thought it was 11.30pm when she woke up, when actually it was only 5.30pm.  Awww mum - maybe you need to get your eyes checked.

 

Mum was sad to hear about the death of Cilla Black today.  When the mumster was in her twenties, she lived in London, where she had lots of fun and adventures.  One of her besties friends had appeared on Blind Date the show that Cilla hosted, and the three girls were lucky enough to get tickets to seeing the show being filmed.    Anyway this was way back in the mid nineties, back when normal looking people could appear on dating shows, and there were still jobs available for 50 year old women.  The besties friend was unlucky I love, but mum admires her bravery for putting herself out there and  appearing on the show.  Mum remembers that Cilla had a great charisma and sparkle,  and kept the show entertaining and fun.
