Karen woke up in pain today. We have pinned it down (no pun intended) to her long strides and hydro.

Glenn and Mark came round to check out our bathrooms to see how much work is involved in converting them to kp’s master plan. After a cup of tea with them, kp went back to bed for a couple of hours.

Ig and Og (Margaret and Kathleen) arrived about 2.30pm, and we have had a good laugh with them. They are sisters and a real double act when together. kp has been in stitches.

It’s hard to get across how funny they are. But I’ll try………..

They were discussing a film, I can’t recall the name of it now………….

Ig :- You’ll have to see it…………..It’s brilliant

Og:- Yes, it’s 5 hours long………..

Ig:- The music is great………….

dp:- How does it go…………

Ig:- Tra la la la……….. (I was none the wiser !)

dp:- And it’s 5 hours long ?

Og:- Well, it might be 4 and a 1/2

dp:- Still, it’s a long film

Og:- But it’s good

Ig:- It might only be 4 hours long.

dp:- What’s it about ?

Ig:- It’s about Robert De Niro and James Cook (local Middlesbrough Hospital)…………

Og:-  Not James Cook, that’s the hospital, James Wood

dp:- But, what’s it about…………

Ig:- It’s about Robert De Niro, he’s a priest called Noodles……

Og:- No, that’s the other film

Etc Etc Etc…………

We are none the wiser, but feel better for the laughs it provided.

Here’s Ig, Og and kp……….Don’t ask me which is Ig and which is Og, ‘cos I don’t know.

A good laugh was had by all……Lamb Stew tonight.
