Flighty, Fickle and Fanciful ...

An original idea by lyndlj of Blogland and nicked from Subs, Fatal & AJNSpencer.

OK, the good and magical fairy Fantasmagoria has granted you three wishes.

But she is a feisty good fairy (as you would be with a name like that)

So there are conditions

Your first wish has to be about a person/people not related to you

Your second wish has to be about a place ... that you might like to live in or visit

Your third wish can be about anything not related to the first two wishes but is not allowed to be more wishes And your wishes have to be personal to you.

So

My first wish ... I wish that Britons would wake up to the lie.

My second wish ... Retirement in Australia

My third wish ... perfect eyesight.

The weather was warm enough today to check on the status of our growing things in the garden. The onions are poking up shoots as are the runner beans, our daughter has followed the family tradition of donating her swing frame to the growth of runner beans, something I did when I was 11. To my surprise my dad is still using that same swing frame for growing his beans, he bought me that swing in 1970 - I wonder if my daughter's swing frame will last as long.

My parents recently celebrated their 39th wedding anniversary - which I, as always forgot. I supposed I'd better make an effort next year and do something special, after all, just 5 months later it will be my 40th birthday.

Hedgewolf and I were discussing the archetypal Granny the other day - does anyone really have a white haired Granny, who smells of cough sweets? Cos in my experience, Grannies are getting younger and fitter and more active, not like when I was a kid and everyone's Granny would be a little old lady. These days most of the Grannies I know are still at work, flirting, dancing and drinking. Where are 'those' Grannies I remember?
