Re: Re: shopping
I try to kill my pain by listening to the Walkman as I shop, but then I feel foolish because I find myself talking too loud to the deli people and everybody stares. "There are no ladies when one goes shopping" I have to remember that! She got the rose, and sends a bunch of asters.

Sam two years ago I was paying a man to mow my grass, I must have been feeling weak last Autumn he had to finish because his wife was ill so I thought I'll get a nice light mower that re-cycles the grass. So I bought one that was half the weight of my original one I have used it about three times but being mad I suppose I dragged the big one out and used it last week.I think my shoulder ached two days later I 'll try and post a photo of the lighter one later if it does not rain with the operator.

hopping on line the goods should not be mauled from over handling! I so grasped the lawn mower being a chore! It seems to get harder to push the older I get! I would never own one of those self propelled ones for they drag me all over the yard! lol sam

Re:
Yes EE. it was a bit sad watching houses go up on the land I kept half an acre, but I rarely look out of the bedroom windows and the little Fergy is still chugging around so the chap who bought it told me. Incidently the free fruit sales is picking up I had to put a notice please do not leave cash as payment. I don't think some of the newcomers understand the principle

Re: CORNCAKE

No Rumour it's like over the top, don't stare at your enemies, they look a bit too hard to defeat. I suppose someone loves them

I like the word or name, Fergy ---

Re:

Re:
Yes csherloc It is a dismal thought but I can see all shops eventually close and a secure box outside every house to take the goods which will be delivered possibly at night. If I were younger I would invent the box.

Re: shopping
Bob there are no ladies when one goes shopping If I get desperate I carry two baskets. I always try and go to one special check out lady because I made her into a Muse once when I couldn't find anyone else, of course she didn't know and I was a bit desperate. Those blinking little four wheel mobiles are becoming a menace. Life doesn't get easier. I just numb my senses it makes life seem more enjoyable. Give the wife a rose please from me

shopping
Some wisdom from Keats: "The feel of not to feel it/When there is none to heal it/Nor numb-ed sense to steel it/Was never said in rhyme." And quoting that other sage, Pat B, "Old age is not for wimps." And quoting me, a damn fine poem: I understood (and relished) every line! One other thing, if you're talking about a big supermarket, do the ladies over there push shopping carts and lose themselves in thought while pondering the shelves, thereby jamming up the following traffic? When their attention is called to the inconvenience they are causing, they seem to snap out a kind of trance and mutter a distracted, "Oh, sorry..." It seems to be an inborn
trait, at least over here. Just wondering. (And that lady with the pins, I bet, high-fives her colleagues when no one else is looking)

I like the way you described this little outing. A good reason to shop online. I was your secret follower for a moment. Nicely written.

this is called getting older. What a naughty lady for pinning a poppy on you without asking, where have all the good manners gone. There is somefink in the air methinks. Forget shopping, eat popcorn and just write, none of it makes sense
