mine on everything he could that must have been years before his passing as he no longer could read not write on the last years he must have felt his persona leaving him so he wanted to stake a claim on whatever mine was his new mantra now and then the kids let me come upstairs during the clean up it hurts it hurts so much 2 rooms done and one last one to be finished this week end daughter hired a dumpster real estate people are becoming noisy many people want this house it is historic and in all original shape i hope i can leave it feet first i love this place been here since 1978or was it 77 posted by jeannot at 9 25 am no comments thursday november 27 2014 thanksgiving day 2014 i am wondering today if the indians on the reservations today are celebrating did the pilgrims truly get along with the people who s land they came to inhabit it is a day to say thanks for should we not do that every day you need a card for that a reminder i lived 20 years in a country who does not know about thanksgiving day i survived that very well because i had a very polite mother and she taught me that i should be thankful for everything i had and not look over my shoulder to what others had even when we were left with turn ups from our garden that hard winter during the war she reminded me that we were lucky to have a garden my mother was not particularly very religious but she knew how to thank people not to be just polite but because she truly believed that it was what you needed to do in life do we need a mother s day and a father s day today even grandparents day do we need the card companies to remind us how to behave that one day i get grumpy when i think what we do out of habit in a very commercial world so never mind me today posted by jeannot at 8 36 am no comments tuesday november 11 2014 it s a joke or is it i could not help myself but had to post this which was send tome by my friend in the uk in light of the latest problems facing the european currency e g ireland and portugal having had a bailout greece facing collapse and needing another bailout a belgian bank collapsing and now italy teetering on the brink possibly tipping austria over the edge should the uk adopt the euro a cross section survey of 10 000 people in a typical british city made up of a representative sample of local citizens consisting of afghans albanians pakistanis indians poles iraqis somalis bosnians turks moldovans latvians lithuanians bangladeshis ethiopians russians congolese and zimbabweans phew were asked if they thought britain should change its currency and adopt the euro 99 9 said no they were happy with the giro posted by jeannot at 5 32 am no comments monday november 3 2014 well october did not end well at all on the 30th i took bijou out for his last outing i was very tired and just wanted it over with still gloomy mood i did not measure the step up to the side walk very well kicked it instead and fell flat face first on the concrete immediately blood was flooding from somewhere on my head and in no time it ran down my cheek into my neck i first checked me legs hell was going to be paid if i hurt my legs again but i noticed just scraped my knee i rang my little emergency button i thought bob would hear the alarm inside it does take them a few minutes to respond i turned around and sa on the sidewalk legs stretched out hoping someone would come by street deserted the long and the short of it bob got a hold of me and called an ambulance i had 3 kids i know about head wounds they bleed forever my mother used to call that a spring cleaning of the blood wondered if it helped in fall bob started to clean my face and 4 ems walked in 3 like football players giants one tiny gentle female nurse named renee like in french i started to laugh and told the guys to get out of here i just had a cut i did not look bad when i checked later i should not have checked the next day halloween day i had the best mask on the eye looked like a big white egg and closed and everything around it was purple and swollen bob gave out the candy that night but no one came side street always gets fergotten more or less in some sort of daze i sat the next 3 days in my recliner and was being served by my handsome son bored the first hour and wanting to clean he put me back in the chair then i remembered my kindle i was reading a series by vernon coleman about a young doctor in bilbury a small country village there are 7 books vernon has a knack of telling people and animal stories it is light reading and amusing just what i needed i wondered how he ever managed to keep all the people apart in his many chapters he would tell you that mrs darbinshire had a knitted jacket with holes on the elbow and faded green and under that a nylon blouse nylon i wondered how vernon knew nylon her knitted socks were no longer holding up and curled around her legs that sort of thing he wrote for every person i imagined that he had a large board in his studio and had cut out dolls or ads with all sorts of people in full clothing and he had given them a name or a filing cabinet with cards e for edith she is the one with otherwise i can t see how he could remember his whole cast of characters in 7 books they were all characters in different mind sets much was going on in the pub and i wondered how they could all drink that much who carved w s into tables yes that william shakespeare do the cows really like elvis what do you see when you look at an oak tree it has a whole story of its own i was delighted when i read that sheep will know their offspring when they meet again in a herd of 200 how cute is that i am on book 6 and i shall miss it when i am done with 7 but i read that vernon has written a lot of books so perhaps i will get something else that will calm me this was better than valium only trouble was that the dr s wife kept baking every other chapter she was making vegetable soup or sconces and rock biscuits rock so i often sat here salivating by the e4nd of book 3 i was asking bob for a torch and wondered if he had enough petrol in his car i was getting too british for my own good not enough that i translate flemish jokes in american and they do not get it my kids now i will throw in a new wrench today i feel a wee bit better but my face is ugly the scraped side is still scraped eye still swollen i am beginning to drink tea nothing fancy but with honey i snarled at the box with spekulaas from belgium must get to the british stuff i doubt there is such a gorgeous untouched village like bilbury a lot have tatched roofs and still outdoor toilets well i grew up in something like that but it was the 30 s and 40 s we had an outdoor house and i hated to go in town and having to use the loo in a store i was afraid of all that water when i pulled the chain if i could i would hold it all in till i was home and the familiar outhouse we did not have a phone only had a radio when my father was fixing one for someone else our village had probably tops 200 people in it but was also part of the city of ghent we knew every one my mother hated gossip but she did not mind listening now and then to know who had blue powder at their door this morning blue powder would show up in the dark of the night it was someone telling the inhabitants that someone was cheating in that house hold when one tried to wash it from the cobblestone sidewalk it would turn into a blue like paint it would not go away that quickly and would run down to the next and the next door till you wondered where it had started lucky they did not do it to our door they could have my father was busy but he was also a police man so maybe they did not want to do that to him we had one bar known as a pub over the pond she did not serve food to my recollection every bar to my mother was a house of prostitution even if it would have been a bar for kids only she rarely would walk into one my grandfather loved the bars and always found a collectio of people listening to his stories he was a raconteur read story teller a rag man would come with his pushcart hoping someone had rags for him to buy by the kilo we wore everything till they became rags gypsies came with entourages we feared but they could mend aluminum pots like no other and also sharpen our knives and scissors mothers came out for them and hid the kids inside one would always tell your fortune for money but my mother was afraid to know her future and we did not have money for that drifters would mark something on a tree or the hedge or your house it was a sign language that would tell the next one that this house was friendly and you would get a meal my mother did not like them she was afraid of them if she had bread she would always share with them and then tell them who her husband was and please run now they did which just reminds me that we had an ex cop living across the street for a few years now jumping to 2014 and one day someone had painted a penis on the road it did not wash away with the rain either we had no idea what it was till some gossiper told us that this was a sign that a policeman lived there my mother took on one job seriously in the village and that was as a nurse her sister was the rn but my mother had the heart of one she just cleaned people up when sick and often was asked to sit by the dying she may not have known much about them but they knew where to find madame d no one even at her work in the office for decades no one ever called my mother by the first name only her intimate friends she was always madame i doubt there was another madame in the small village except for one who owned several houses she was also a blue blood which means you have a small v on the van or a small de before the rest of your name that one richlady was madame de la stephanie down on the island had her beauty parlor in her kitchen next door was the butcher he would tell all his clients that his wife could not work with him when she had her period i bet she was one female you was glad to get cramps the butcher had a habit of throwing your meat on the scale with the same gusto as a pizza maker he had a reason as he threw it up there it would show 500 grams and he quickly like a houdini grabbed it before it went down to 300 mother would have none of it she d say leave it on the scale jean i do not want to pay for more then what i owe the answer would be ja madame d my mother had to have her bra s and corsets made to order she had a woman who made wonders to harness all this flesh to top it off my mother lived decades with a hernia on both sides and refused surgery her corsets had suede covered circles to push in the hernia and make her more comfortable i do not think that my mother ever went into a store for these items i knew a small village but ours had large flaws it was in the middle of a canal and nothing but industry beyond my house you could hang out the wash which was an enormous labor for my mother over a boiled kettle on the coal stove and then the electric factory would open up the garbage and the white sheets had black specks all over them a dalmatian would not have been able to compete so she would start all over again i hated the industry hated the smoke i had bad lungs already as i had pleurisy which almost killed me i could not wait to get out of there so most of my life well the last 40 years have been in north carolina and guess what is but about 12 miles from here a large electric factory with 2 large chimneys very busy throwing out something i have problems looking at them i live in a small town do not know the names of most people around me we wave as we pass each other and i walk the dogs or just say hi i could not care at all if they had blue paint at their door or the irs man everyone lives their own life most of the time when i meet someone they are holding a cel phone anyway posted by jeannot at 8 00 am no comments tuesday october 28 2014

will not kill me but make me a bitch to be around yesterday i did not even want to see brie but my fridge was empty then i see her and she lights me up and wears me out we walked all of main street and saw many new shops all with nice new style clothing i like the mixes they do again with different fabrics and colors bohemian like my style brie looked great has lost a lot of weight but it was her skin which made me wonder what cream she was on this time she told me cream had not touched her face in ages she stopped the sugar and milk and the gluten thing en vogue now in america if that is what did it i do not know but she looked younger and smooth skin i am selling my stock of beads on ebay i make up a tray of about 30 worth and sell it for 5 00 that nets me about 3 50 after ebay and

on ebay writes me tonight that i should put her beads in a smaller box i had already mailed her beads this afternoon at 4 pm if i had put them in a smaller box they no doubt would have crushed some
