HOME ALONE

LOOK HERE

 Richard of RBB tonight is experiencing a night without his wife.
Now Shelley is a wonderful and caring woman who looks after people in need ( I guess that that is self-evident as I did say that she had married old Richard after all).

Anyway, Shelley is looking after an old Scotsman in the neighbourhood (not TSB) because the social services that we grew up believing were the best in the world must be having yet another off day. Ever since Poor-la Bennett got involved in this extremely important part of our society things seem to have been going backwards.

So Richard is spending the night alone as Shelley has to stay next door with the old neighbour.

Poor baby!

Maybe this will give him an insight into me and The Old Girl's situation where we are separated for a year (365 days less the time she spent here at Christmas and the time I'll spend with her in Canada in a week or so).

Perhaps Richard can SKYPE of FACETIME with Shelley to keep in touch.

Then again he's probably discovered the cache of good chardonnay by now.

Yep mate, I feel your pain. Seriously.

As far as Skyping Shelley, let me explain. Shelley doesn't do gadgets or technology well at all. She has many virtues and loves just about every moving thing, but she hates cell phones and struggles with concepts like Skype. She is a people person and will go the extra mile for anyone; but don't expect her to answer her cell phone. I will see her tomorrow, which obviously is good. I hope your time alone goes quickly.

Thanks for that.
Time, as Second Fiddle would no doubt tell us, is a fourth dimension inhabited by god.
What!
Yes, exactly.
I haven't seen "A Brief History of Time" yet (but do intend seeing it) so haven't got a grasp of Stephen Hawking's theroies but I do know that time goes FUCKING SLOWLY.

Thake care and sleep well.

Yes, exactly. And time has an inverse positive correlation to speed.
For instance.
You have done your cleaning but there is still 90 long minutes of precious evening family time to go.
Solution .. Slow down and walk as though you are on the moon.
