On the subject of doing washing and housework on a Sunday...."The better the day, the better the deed" I say this myself now, but being a carer every day is washday and housework.

If I asked my Dad a question with a difficult answer (like, why the sea blue? or why are these sweets hard?) he'd always answewr, 'Ah, that's Duter' and left it at that. It took me long time to discover that 'Duter' was not some mysterious force but the sea is blue 'due to' the reflection of the sky, and my sweets were hard 'due to' their being made out of boiled sugar! Now Dad is gone, Mum and I still say, 'That's Duter' if we can't answer a question.

Another one of Mum's sayings is (when ever anyone has a coughing fit) - 'cough it up, it might be a gold watch' - it's never happened yet

For every grey hair you pull out, three grow in it's place!

I don't remember my gran not being grey. She would have been bald and I would have been very rich

That made me laugh ...My Granny would be like that, she thinks that keeping her phone turned on costs her money! I tell her how am I suppose to get in contact with you if you don't have it on!
Hows Pat doing this week? Tell her I'm thinking of her..
Take care
