I came home to find a very sad hubby. The tractor's drive belt snapped on Thursday, so no mowing of the lawns yet. However, he took the opportunity to sharpen the blades while waiting for the new belt. Unfortunately, the Dremel blew up in his hand while he was sharpening. He has now taken to wearing a black armband in mourning. In compensation, I bought him a stunning pair of de luxe air filled pneumatic knee pads. Probaly designed by NASA. However, he put them on the wrong knees and managed to velcro his legs together. While trying to get up and sort himself out, he fell over, squeaking, in a flowerbed, inextricably entangled. Rushing to the rescue, I couldn't stop laughing. However, he got his own back. The hose on the fountain in the top pond split, so he persuaded me to wade into the lukewarm water, cut the split part and reattach it to the Heron statue. I was quite happy and warm until he said *mind the leeches*. You CAN walk on water because I did it this afternoon. I exploded out of the pond in two sesonds flat. I hate leeches. Any disasters for you lately? or in the past?
I once suggested to drag this man to a VT-meeting, but after reading this story ... I have my doubts. PJ
BTW Disasters? Crashing computers, probably due to the recent heat wave. Working from back-ups. PJ
Pietier!!!! I had hoped your disaters would have been funny! I try to paint the humourous side of our disasters here.... I read an article in our newspaper that said that Germans have a terrible time relaxing and enjoying, they are always worrying and feeling responsible for the troubles of the EU, now I am thinking that you have the same feeling.

Haha, good one Keti :o) Love your stories Sue. You certainly paint a descriptive picture mate :o) You should take up writing when you get that place in France. No, I don't have any stories to beat that.... but I hate leeches too! Thank goodness we don't have any here in Western Australia. But we did have to contend with them when we lived over eastern Australia.
Sue it would be worth it to come to your part of the world just to spend a day at your place. Keti that was funny.
Oh Sue!!thanks for the laugh mate..I agree you should write a book about your trials and tribulations. The vision of your husband's velcroed legs and you walking on water is hilarious bwaaaaaahaaaahaaaa.
LOL! Poor guy! Not only has he tied his feet together and fallen down, but now thousands of us know it. I trust you outran the leeches?
My biggest disaster of last month was that I left my KLM present in the plane. Imagine coming home without a present! PJ
What?? no present?? that IS a disaster. Jessie, the stories of our DIY and gardening disasters are legendary. So are the travelling ones like when he nearly ran a lion over and the time a baboon stole my earplugs and the hotel bill. Then there is the time I fell off the ladder.....oh and when the poodles piddled in the paint tray.... I just have to get the book to the publishers.
Dorrise, I did manage to leap out of the pond leechless. I hate them. I got covered in them when wading through the rain forest in Ecuador because hubby wanted to get to the butterfuly farm. Still have the scars!
Luckely I remembered after a day or so I had some fridge magnets hidden in one of my pockets. PJ
Sue--Are you familiar with Erma Bombeck? If not, try to pick up one of her books. You may be her successor!
Jessie, with a name like that, she had to have a sense of humour! One personal observation at this time is: with the whole of Scotland to fly around in, WHY does this bloody fly have to try and get into the same square inch of space as me???
It's nice of you to think of us petruta but lunch is better not to book in advance as there are so many different ways... more
