Geese and Grass and Old Movies

We moved the geese frae the back o` the hoose tae the front, we had let the grass grow there (see? there was reason for it, just in case a`body thought we were just being lazy, like...) and now they are there for the winter, hopefully fattening up fine, because they only have one mair year tae prove they are fertile, then if no`, they`ll be gracing the platters o` us and a few friends!
In the meantime, they strut their stuff along the front o` the hoose, sorting oot the pecking order wi` the puir ducks and hens, the only ones no` feared o` them are the four new wee chicks (half grown noo) wha run full tilt toward them...it is awfy funny tae see fully grown, hard as nails geese running fast awa frae four peedie hens....
A` o` this, of course, means I hae tae plan ony archery carefully...the other day oot I went wi` the bow and quiver fu` o` arrows, ready tae shoot, lined up wi` the target, drawn the string then sighted tae the bullseye...then realised that, sitting tied up next tae the target was Lassie, oor dog...I had forgotten tae tak her indoors and there she was, cheerfully watching me, thinking "ooh, is it playtime then?" or mebbe something ruder...she did look like she was grinning at me!

So after that peedie fright, I ran up tae untie her and made sic a fuss o` her, that is what guilt does tae a biddy.....

Auld age is me excuse, the mind goes, ye ken.....

So noo, I double check...are the geese herded roond the back and shut in? Is Lassie indoors (and peeking oot the bedroom window at what I`m daein)? and is there ony beastie at a` within shooting range?
THEN I hae fun!

Yours truly has a cauld, so am hibernating indoors the day. I will run a nice hot bath wi` bubbles and nice girly smelly things (no that I can smell onything, wi` a bunged up dose!!) and then settle doon aside the stove and put on the dvd and wallow in favourite auld films....sigh..haein a cauld has its guid points I guess....

I see frae the news that there is a whole day o memorial stuff for Diana. Withoot wishing tae offend folks, this isnae something I personally buy intae. I mind one friend being quite upset when she died and aghast as tae why I wasnae greeting ower it!
But look at it this way....I`m Scots...so dinnae really view ony royals as MY royals onyway..and I didnae ken the woman at a`!! It`s fine and natural tae grieve ower folks wha meant something tae ye, but tae dae it ower folks that didnae? Just seems wrong tae me. I appreciate there are those folks wha are royal supporters, but seriously, greeting for one ten years deid seems, tae me, a bit excessive.

Well, that`s me pleep ower for this day, blame the cauld. :-)
Off tae run the hot bath and look oot the films. A` I need tae complete the day noo, is a box o` chocolates frae me man. I`ll no haud me breath though, lol....

I quite agree with you. The whole Diana thing is well out of hand. Plenty of other people have died in tragic circumstances . . .Anyway, I hope your cold feels better, must get on with some work!

alix from west mids


hope your starting to feel better after your bath! I totally agree with ou on the "Diana" issue. I felt a bit sad when she died---NOT because it was her,but for her boys and i am becoming really fed up that 10 years on people are still going on about it! then there are people still going on about the queen's attitude at the time of diana's death----i think she reacted very sensibly--any other grandama wouldn't have exposed her granchildren to the media striaght away so for once i had feelings to lizzie! have a good weekend--i'm singing tonight with the choir,for once everybody will be present--small group----80 chorists and 30 musiciens!!

The Diana thing has gotten out of hand, I believe, and I mean this most sincerely, that the Diana grieving thing 10 years ago, was the start of a trend in community grieving, or something that I can't think of just now. I was gonna say something else, but all this Diana thing has made me forget. You see what it does to you, well me really, will I hang aboot 'til I remember? I could be here a while, oh wait gotta go and see Ruthie, Cheers Hermit, oh and make sure that Lassie Comes 成人快手!!!!!

Sorry you are not 100% ... a hot toddy may help?! The news media is full of Diana today and honestly it is time she is laid to rest! And that means no more maudlin ravings from people who only seek to make money [magazines, newspapers etc etc]. It is moments like this I [need Minties] am thankful I am just ordinary.

Plaid from Outback


Totally agree with everyone on the Di thing. It's maudlin, distasteful and totally undignified. There - grumpy old cronedom here I come!. The whole thing is just sickly. The woman's dead - let her rest in peace.

Ellie from taking a break from baking


Are we supposed to pray that your geese are fertile so they can escape the death dealing arrow, or should we hope they are sterile so they can grace your dining table? # Hope you feel better soon, Hermit.

A bit of both...

GerCelt from Dublin, Ireland


You were there, GerCelt, and did not even call 911-garage? I am glad you made it back to Dublin alive: I mean, there could have been a news item in the Orcadian: "Furrener skewered dead by Hermit's arrow. Coroner says he had a full stomach and equally distended.bladder."

Lucky Lassie!

Donna from finally home in shetland


Can the coroner not take a break in loo?
