    A guinea is twenty one shillings-or toss for shortimage

    A poemimage~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    I have a little SatNav.
    It sits there in my car.
    A SatNav is a driver's friend,
    It tells you where you are.

    I have a little SatNav.
    I've had it most of my life.
    It’s better than the normal ones.
    My SatNav is my wife.

    It gives me full instructions,
    Especially how to drive
    "It's thirty miles an hour," it says,
    "You're doing thirty-five."

    It tells me when to stop and start
    And when to use the brake,
    And tells me that it's never, ever
    Safe to overtake.

    It tells me when a light is red
    And when it goes to green.
    It seems to know instinctively,
    Just when to intervene.

    It lists the vehicles just in front
    And all those to the rear
    And taking this into account,
    It specifies my gear.

    I'm sure no other driver
    Has so helpful a device,
    For when we leave and lock the car,
    It still gives its advice

    It fills me up with counselling
    Each journey's pretty fraught,
    So why don't I exchange it
    And get a quieter sort?

    Ah well, you see, it cleans the house,
    Makes sure I'm properly fed.
    It washes all my shirts and things
    And…keeps me warm in bed!

    Despite all these advantages
    And my tendency to scoff,
    I really wish that just for once,
    I could darn well turn it off.

    Lovely poem, did you write it? My OH says I'm like your OH!

    I hope Darren has his leg up while searching for gardening courses. My son had the op. and played rugby again. (until he did in his other knee!)

    Snowed this morning but it's all melted.

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    .. tomorrow morning, whilst watching the tennis...

    Mustn't forget that. Starts 8.15am, I think. Easy to forget it at that time.

    Greetings from Snowmaggedon image Oh my lord I've never seen so much snow. We've now managed to shift most of from the drive and OH got car out to drive grandson to Liverpool as he is going to London . All main roads and motor ways fine now and thankfully there's a thaw on. I've never seen anything like it  - a foot of snow in an hour. So relieved to get home last night but feel so sorry for those who were trapped in their cars. We've all had a dig out today so cul-de-sac not so bad now.

    Flo - that doesn't sound good . Hope you get the electrics sorted soon. Read that but a lot to catch up on. Oh, and Bunny's photos. haven't taken any cos I never want to see it again . image

    Yes, all miscreants forgiven - until next time  image  I've been converted from a hag by Aslan the lion who says you have to be nice to your fellow forkers.
    Matinee went quite well, the daughter of one of the actors shouted 'Hello Daddy' when he appeared on stage - aaah image - and a few of the younger members of the audience were a bit put out by the explosions.
    OH found out that the Big Bad Wolf can fix leaky roofs so that's a bonus. Just hope it's not too rainy tonight though the bowl is still in place on the bed.

    Jean, it sounds as if you're in a different country!! You didn't arrive through a wardrobe by any chance?  image 

    Lovely snow pics, sorry forgot whose - it always looks so picture-skew.

    image Flo - Last night I thought I WAS !! imagePretty scary stuff - I know now why people are advised not to travel but we would have never set off if we knew what was coming. It just happened so quick.

    Glad the matinee went well and you managed to stay upright. image Would be nice to see some pics.image

    Never thought I would say this but it's starting to rain. YIPPEE. ! image
