Manhole Mary!

It is Sunday and another glorious day. This morning we discover that the computer has mysteriously removed most of the desk-top icons overnight, and all my work seems to be awol! Panic seizes me, but Two rises to the occasion and retrieves all. Phew!Copies will be made to outwit computer should it Have Another Funny Turn. Talking of Funny Turns, Two had another partial seizure yesterday, which I duly noted in diary. Didn't last long, but I could see he was frightened. Is very horrible for him. It has been a few weeks since last one, so hopefully they are going to stop happening.

Last night at the pub proved not to be the karaoke I was expecting.I tried on the leggings and sadly they proved to be a major faux pas. Elderly earwig. Discarded them and put on sensible jeans as have no wish to be Laughing Stock as well as Dancing Buffoon.

Good singer and guitarist performing, (maybe karaoke next week, must have misread the sign), but pub nearly empty which is a shame. But when the Late Crew arrived, things perked up. My erstwhile dancing partner, the incorrigible Trevor, began telling us a story about when he worked on building the M1 motorway. He is a natural comedian, and his tale of Manhole Mary ........well, you couldn't make it up. He described looking up one day, to see this vision of raven-haired beauty, clad in Ocelot Coat, high heels, the lot, delicately picking her way down the motorway embankment. He said he assumed she was the wife of one of the workers, but it transpired she was making the most of a Great Business Opportunity, and was a hooker! She was going down the drains, hence the soubriquet Manhole Mary, and selling sex to the men building the road. Enterprising or what? Manhole Mary, if you are still out there, I salute you. Ocelot Coat and all.

Mission Control near Geneva has uploaded another video onto my Youtube Channel, The Web Widow Blues, a little lament which other widows such as Golf Widows, Jogging Widows etc. will relate to I am sure. My daughter-in-law has a marked talent for creating videos to accompany the songs, and we are embarking on a video epic when she and my son come to visit in May. Will be Great Fun!!!

Am going to have cup of Hot Chocolate now, and relax. Should really attend to row of sad weed infested tubs in back yard, but find prospect unattractive. Au Revoir for now. And let's hear it for Manhole Mary.
