Give a Little Bit ~ Supertramp

guarantee they'll 'av this lot sorted by tonight.' Rosie arrived back with Japanese cherry teas for all and a selection of rice crackers and tofu. Nobody stopped work. Not long after, a short chubby man wearing a plaid tweed suit, monocle in one eye and smoking an oderiferous pipe, stepped jauntily through the door. 'Rosie, my dear! I've come to meet your young man! Is that the chappie over there?' he said pointing to a tall Lothario, showing off, very unnecessarily I felt, bulging muscles in a tight singlet. 'Daddy!' Rosie shrieked, 'you ...

With My Little Ukulele In My Hand ~ George Formby

Cat's In the Cradle ~ Harry Chapin

'You boys are absolutely super and wizard. I'm going to go out and get you all something special for tiffin! Meanwhile, Johnny's in charge.' Rosie bustled off and as soon as she was out the door I stood hands on hips and barked, 'Right you lot, you heard the lady, I'm in charge, get your a's into g! I want this mess cleaned up pronto or you're all out the door.' For some reason, they ...

just say that we awl consider it a privlidge, a downright 'oner and privlidge to be workin' for ya, darlin'. It ain't often oi come across such a angelic loidy, and me, oi speak for us awl.' Rosie beamed and blushed, 'Oh golly gosh and jeepers. You're such a charmer, get away with you.' 'Exactly what I was thinking!' I muttered to myself. 'So when do you think ...

Cool Change ~ Little River Band

all nonchalant and in charge. 'Oi moit, we ain't takin' no orders from the loikes of you! The missus 'ired us, we only listen to 'er!' Just then Rosie came in with a tray full of mugs. 'Come on boys, time for a cuppa,' she called, her face wreathed in a big smile. They all downed tools, grabbed a drink and started rolling fags. 'But Rosie!' I complained, 'they ...

Come Into The Garden, Maud ~ John McCormack

improving on good old, plain elbow grease. I asked what other varieties were available and if they were any more expensive. They looked at me funny, then Sid said, 'Are you ...

Gardening At Night ~ R.E.M.

I found my experimental drink was having an odd affect on my speech and I had difficulty articulating my thoughts. Having only partaken of hot sweet tea for as long as I could remember, all these additives were messing with my equilibrium. 'Ummmm ... I knead ...and when I say knead, I mean contextually speaking, as the great philosopher Bob Bobbins once said ...' 'Well,' said Rosie ignoring my profundity , 'I think two weeks should be ...

We'll be thinking of you Luna, hoping everything goes really well and wishing you a speedy recovery xx 🌻😘

China Girl ~ David Bowie

It depends a lot on the pumpkin, a nice dry, sweet one makes great soup. I add fried onion and bacon, some grated nutmeg, ground black pepper and some chopped chives if you've got them.

I'm Walking ~ Fats Domino

It's lovely your Granddaughter shares your love of books, Muggle, must make you so happy 😊 I'm very pleased that our two grandchildren love reading (10 and 8 ) and littlie 3 loves her books too.

I'm really just a dickhead? I decided to put that thought aside to masticate over later and instead enquired what elephant where, what exactly was it doing inside and who had let it in! 'You are a silly billy,' Rosie giggled, 'We need to talk about when we're going to start our John and Rosie's Book and Cat Cafe, of course!' 'Well,' I answered, relieved that we weren't going to delve into the depths of some ambiguous double- entendre, I lived by the KISS principle, me, 'I think we should firstly ...

decided to be a bit adventurous and went for a Chai Skinny Latte, low fat, soy milk, sugar free, sweetened with organic honey and topped with whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles. Rosie gave me the side-eyes as she sipped her Japanese Single Origin Cherry tea and I wondered ...

Deacon Blues ~ Steely Dan

it, I surmised, made by freshly showered, kilted and sporraned burly Scots? My mind was wandering into the intricacies of Scotch making accompanied by bagpipes playing Another Whisky In the Jar, when Rosie interrupted my reverie to ask again if I wanted to join her at the tea house. 'Do they have Yorkshire tea, strong, hot and sweet?' I asked. It was at least an hour since my last cup and I could feel a weakness creeping into my ...

Harvest Moon ~ Neil Young Nice song.

Am so pleased you're home and pain-free. Hope you can rest and feel more comfortable in your own surroundings. Hospital beds are ghastly and there's nothing like your own pillow either. Have they given you any idea when surgery might be? Sending lots of love Luna xxx ❤🌻

finding this difficult to believe. 'Golly gosh, no! And I'm a firm believer in wearing a sola topee, Daddy always wore one on his travels and never once had sun sickness even when he went out in the midday sun. Locals called him a mad dog, which was very rude. Daddy never once had rabies and he put that down to ...

Arriving Somewhere But Not Here ~ Porcupine Tree
