Shannon Fox is leaving HSN.

Hello Sheba, i know who you watched today. How was it? I missed out but we had another house issue, thought the garbage disposal stopped working so I cleared out the entire area and then hubs got it working so re-organized it. The tarps blew to the side last night, and had to get them back in place. Yes, you know who went back up there. It rained briefly this afternoon and was cold and crisp. Great weather for us.
My SB bag shipped (wow fast) from CA and should be here in 2 days. I didn’t expect it but am very happy, And guess who get the letter…. no not from HSN (haha) but from the courts. Yup, Jury Duty. It’s not for a while.

Wouldn’t It Be Loverly – My Fair Lady

It’s rather dull in town, I think I’ll take me to Paris
The missus wants to open up the castle in Capri
Me doctor recommends a quiet summer by the sea, hmm, hmm
Wouldn’t it be loverly?
All I want is a room somewhere
Far away from the cold night air
With one enormous chair
Oh, wouldn’t it be loverly?
Lots of chocolate for me to eat
Lots of coal makin’ lots of heat
Warm face, warm hands, warm feet
Oh, wouldn’t it be loverly?
Oh, so lovely sittin’ abso-bloomin’-lutely still
I would never budge till spring
Crept over the windowsill
Someone’s head resting on my knee
Warm and tender as he can be
Who takes good care of me
Oh, wouldn’t it be loverly
Loverly, loverly, loverly, loverly
All I want is a room somewhere
Far away from the cold night air
With one enormous chair
Oh wouldn’t it be loverly?
Lots of chocolate for me to eat
Lots of coal making lots of heat
Warm face, warm hands, warm feet
Oh, wouldn’t it be loverly?
Oh, so lovely sitting abso-bloomin’-lutely still
I would never budge till spring
Crept over me windowsill
Someone’s head resting on my knee
Warm and tender as she can be
Who takes good care of me
Oh, wouldn’t it be loverly?
Loverly, loverly, loverly
Oh, wouldn’t it be loverly
Loverly, loverly, loverly, loverly

I’ve Grown Accustomed to Her Face
Rex Harrison

! ! ! !
I’ve grown accustomed to her face
She almost makes the day begin
I’ve grown accustomed to the tune
That she whistles night and noon
Her smiles, her frowns
Her ups, her downs
Are second nature to me now
Like breathing out and breathing in
I was serenely independent and content before we met
Surely I could always be that way again
And yet
I’ve grown accustomed to her look
Accustomed to her voice
Accustomed to her face
“Marry Freddy.”
What an infantile idea. What a heartless, wicked, brainless thing to do
But she’ll regret it, she’ll regret it!
It’s doomed before they even take the vow
I can see her now, Mrs. Freddy Eynsford-Hill
In a wretched little flat above a store
I can see her now, not a penny in the till
And a bill collector beating at the door
She’ll try to teach the things I taught her
And end up selling flowers instead
Begging for her bread and water
While her husband has his breakfast in bed
In a year, or so, when she’s prematurely grey
And the blossom in her cheek has turned to chalk
She’ll come home, and lo, he’ll have upped and run away
With a social-climbing heiress from New York
Poor Eliza. How simply frightful!
How humiliating! How delightful!
How poignant it’ll be on that inevitable night
When she hammers on my door in tears and rags
Miserable and lonely, repentant and contrite
Will I take her in or hurl her to the walls?
Give her kindness or the treatment she deserves?
Will I take her back or throw the baggage out?
But I’m a most forgiving man
The sort who never could, ever would
Take a position and staunchly never budge
A most forgiving man
But, I shall never take her back
If she were even crawling on her knees
Let her promise to atone
Let her shiver, let her moan
I’ll slam the door and let the -cat freeze!
“Marry Freddy”-h a!
But I’m so used to hear her say
“Good morning” ev’ry day
Her joys, her woes
Her highs, her lows
Are second nature to me now
Like breathing out and breathing in
I’m very grateful she’s a woman
And so easy to forget
Rather like a habit one can always break
And yet, I’ve grown accustomed to the trace
Of something in the air
Accustomed to her face

Hi in Oz, lovely day in the ‘burgh. Getting chilly again for the weekend, no wonder we are all sick. Did you see all that snow in Cali? Just wondering if any of your relatives got it there.

Hockey team looked good last night, finally gave it their all. Catching some of Heidi right now. Yes, some lovely pieces.

Sending hugs back to you and Poppy. Prayers for Charlie.

Hello Sheba, how are you doing today?

The day was sunny and warm. I had planted some potatoes and onions in the back a few weeks back. They are coming up quite well. Yesterday the large Bunny came by for a visit in the later afternoon.

I did some laundry today, cooked some veggies and salmom for hubby’sdinner.
I think for me a large piece of oxtail and half of a large Papaya
I didn’t bake anything today. I have been desiring a creamy dessert like a Cremé Caramel or a Créme Bruûlée but at the same time trying to cut down sugar

Take care Sheba
