Ah, dear ‘Becks’ has a good influence on you. I really enjoyed this one. Thanks so much. (I think you’re going to need some very big wellies to cross that puddle though.)
Great handbag clip. The performance was a bit over the top, but that script is so clever. Thank you for including it. As for puddlegate, I believe it is time for a little neighborhood DIY, don't you? Get out there with your shovels and a bit of concrete and just do it.
😂 I love the script, and also the over the topness! The line about forming an alliance with a parcel, whether it handles or not, always makes me laugh. You mean do an Arnie? Have u seen the size of that puddle?!
I have every confidence that people of the British persuasion can take matters in hand and get the job done on their own. Americans, on the other hand , are useless, and will probably re-elect Trump... Can I come live with you and Elaine, please? I can't cook but I am a hell of a house cleaner, and stay tucked up in my room, very quietly writing all day long.
Since your kind offer wasn’t jumped at - if they re-elect Trump, you’re welcome to come to Australia, use my spare room and clean for me. I only have a tiny villa so it won’t take long and you’ll have lots of writing time. 😃
Jeeez! Thanks, Beth! Such a great offer! House-cleaning all morning, writing all afternoon. I am IN!! (I was assuming Terry was still trying to convince his wife, but it was a "no go", I guess.)
I'm fairly new to this form of eavesdropping, so maybe "Becks" is a name you have used before, but it's the first I've read it, and I almost spit my coffee out laughing (yes, still haven't transitioned to the tea yet). Somehow Becks does not fit the sweet Rebecca. Oh, and sorry, but I did so love The Sound of Music and Julie Andrews. 💜
Thanks for your comment, Sue. I have used the term Becks before because I have a strong feeling that beneath her sweet, "English Rose" exterior, Rebecca is a headbanger. As for your not drinking tea plus loving The Sound of Music, well. Although I have to admit that, being a complete softie, I went with a friend a few years ago to see the film and loved it too. Towards the end, when doggie was trying to catch up with the plane, everyone in the cinema was shouting "Go on, go on!", and then erupted iun applause when he made it. Me included! 🤣
Well, with that admission you have put the world to rights, so I'm happy about that. But when I look up the British definition of head-banger, this is what I come up with. head-banger. noun slang. a heavy-metal rock fan. a crazy or stupid person. Slang. So it appears we are once again off-axis. 💜
Forgive me Terry but you say that the Welsh cat was found on the sofa every morning when the picture clearly shows the feline sprawled on a chair. Now I'm starting to doubt that the picture of the pothole is authentic. My faith is shaken.
Aside from that, since you were brave enough to invite the inevitable backlash from the Sound of Music people, I will say that I agree with you and the great Elvis Costello when he sang about his nightmare: "My Favorite Things is playing, again and again, but it's by Julie Andrews and not by John Coltrane."
Thanks for the laughs! Great letter!
Glad you enjoyed it, Amy :-)

I think so too 😂
Another great letter, Tez - I'm preparing my response to e-post to you right here next Wednesday!
Oh, sorry - did I inadvertently err on your preferred form of address? Apologies... 🙄😉
Tez?? 😂
YOU started it......! 🤣
ha! the politics of the playground: "It was him wot started it, Sir!" It wasn't me actually, someone made me do it, an imposter hacked my computer
🤣

perhaps, once I've evicted the three feline miscreants.
All cats are miscreants. I speak CSL and have no allergies. So it is all good...

Our politicians are mostly useless
Yeah, I think you could just delete the word "our" here.

Spat my own out, too, Sue! 🤣
😂 sorry to you both!
Haha, I've properly defended your honor!! 💜
You wimmin always stick together. Typical.
It's not so much that I'm stickin' with the wimmin, I'm just fond of "Becks." 🥰
😍

Can't type for luaghign

Ah, well I meant it in the sense of being crazy, in a lovable sort of way!
🙄
Okay, it's a good day! 💜
😃
I think of THE TRIP every time THE SOUND OF MUSIC is mentioned. Steve and Rob in the Range Rover doing Do-Re-Mi.
I haven't seen it. But like all awful tunes, that song transforms itself into an earworm as soon as anybody mentions it. Thanks, mate
I do what I can. \_(*u*)_/

NOT AUTHENTIC? I'm now questioning MY very existence, never mind that pothole's!
I'm tempted to send a spy satellite over London just to make sure that Terry is being upfront with us. I'll report back....
There are laws against that sort of thing. I've met your sort before. I know my rights.
🕵️
😂
Thanks, Jim. I wondered if anyone would spot the non-sofa! I appear not to have taken a photo of the sofa-sitting but I can assure you it was so!
I hadn't heard that Elvis Costello quote so than ks for sharing. He was clearly a man of refined tastes
