Does Life Get Any Better?

[Tony.London Suburbs]

The perfect "Day" has just, officially, ended.

Woke up early and saw a Duck sitting in the middle of my lawn (a first in 25 years, even though a 180acre Park complete wuth Lake is 75 yards away). To my delight there was a Duck and Drake sitting contently together, next door, and I took some pictures. I saw the Lady next door smiling at me, as she was witnessing the same.

"Our" Duck was feeling like a Gooseberry, poor thing...

Then we had a great day out in The Country, despite the weather, visiting an excellent Country hostelry and I returned to Win some filthy lucre on-line.

Took the Dogs for a great walk and we bumped into other owners and went round in a Westie "Pack" and not one of the dogs wanted to go home.

Manwhile, Ladyfriend cooked the rare "feast" of Seafood that I randomly bought, including various types of fish that I had not had for years. Delicious.

Off to West London to the Casino and we had a good, enjoyable and successful night where you are even "allowed" to park on the Double Yellow Lines right outside the place, opposite The Natural History Museum in South Kensington in Cromwell Road.

35 minutes to drive home to Kent and not ready to go to bed just yet....

Screw The "Good Old Dayz"..."2009" is where its at, you get me ....:)-D

Here's to the next one....

When was your last perfect day in this Country?

Country or countryside?

Now you have given me a real dilemma KK!

My live-in, Jamaican Ladyfriend always says "Country" as in "he's from Country" and, inevitably, sometimes, the immediacy of this everyday usage rubs off on me, as in this case.

However, I have just been informed that there has just been a complaint that as I'm not, personally, Black, that I must not "parody" their street talk (even though it is URBAN talk that I was parodying ) used by the Yoof,sorry The Youth, of all Racial Groups these days, as most Public Transport journeys in Londonwill testify (which the complainant fails to realise)....sigh...

They, obviously, do not move in these circles as much as I do.

Now I was brought up to say "Countryside" so, on balance, THAT is the word I should have used, so Countryside it is....

p.s. Sorry it was such a mission to get to that stage KK...:))

I've just reviewed my post, immediately above this one and realised I have used "mission" instead of "circuitous journey" so apologies there, all-round.

Off back to Room 101 now as I'm obviously in need of more corrective treatment....NURSE.....

That's our Tone. Always speaking of country matters.

....Did I, ever, tell you about the time I visited my M8 Steve in Haywards Heath and his Sister wanted me to discover the delights of "Country Customs" which involved sharing her bed "Bob"...B)

Well Done Tony--I have reviewed this post and there's not a single blemish (Not even "Sistren" for "Sister") so keep up the good work !!--Ed.

I was going to respond to Sean's "ry" comment but realised in an innocent playful attempt I would have offended even more so wiv the remaining letters. I do so humbly apologise!

Why have I bothered to post anyway? Well, sometimes I do own up to my own stupidity and blondeness. I may possibly have offended anyway by my suggestion... oopsy! ;-)
