Saturday. I've been looking forward to it all week. At some point this PM (their letters, not mine) I will - if everything goes to plan - take delivery of a brand-new, 2 metre x 2 metre (their measurement system, not mine - I keep a 78 3/4 inch distance from people in the street), white, garden gazebo.
Even though the DIY store is open (with everyone keeping a 78 3/4" distance apart wherever possible) they will not sell me one in person. I had to go home, buy it online, pay an extra £5 delivery charge and wait for it to be brought to me. Strange times made even stranger by everyone's inexplicable (or unexplained) safety measures.
This will be one of many (I forget how many) replacement gazeboes. All the rest have succumbed to various weather conditions which have cut short the fabric's maximum natural life span. In the wild, these things can live for up to 5 or 6 years before they die of old age (UV light deterioration).
Changing the subject, I just looked out of the window to see a young (ish) girl with an ample backside walking down the street with her boyfriend, unaware of the elderly, bearded, dishevelled sex-pest following her (78 3/4 inches behind), videoing her arse as it heaved against her leopard-print leggings to the rhythm of her footsteps.
Strange times indeed.
Weird times!!
ReplyDeleteWe saw the queue at the local DIY store last week..and decided that if we wanted anything from there online would be preferable....then we went online and there was a two hour queue to get on the website. We didn't. I suppose that they are living up ...or down...to their name!
Well my tent arrived today, so I have no complaints other than the courier thought I had ordered a tin of paint to begin with.
DeleteI can walk down a street and admire a beautiful woman as much as any man but never one in leggings, especially from the rear.
ReplyDeleteThat's because you are neither a man or a lesbian.

DeleteMy theory is that leggings are not simply worn for comfort or (gasp!) actually going to the gym or doing yoga (as many of their wearers may claim). Leggins may give the wearer the illusions of just being (looking) a tad bit more slender than in bulky pants. Oh, the horror! I (not being an elderly, bearded, dishevelled sex-pest following anyone ((78 3/4 inches behind))) have stared at many a bum too big for such tight huggings. And then there is the fact that under certain lighting conditions (errr - like real sunlight, for example) some leggings become see-through. Now I know an awful lot about other people's underwear, although probably not as much as a bearded, dishevelled sex-pest (following anyone ((78 3/4 inches behind).
DeleteHehe!
Thank you for your bracket-rich coment Iris. I think you would change your attitude if you visited Cuba, where no such judgments are made about about women's arses, and no women would heed them in any case.
DeleteThat's true. I do like leopard- skin print though, but not sheer leopard-skin print leggings.
Delete78 3/4" - till I have that conversed every bum will have left the building, I think.
ReplyDeleteNot 78 metres, 78 feet,
DeleteI mean inches (you've got me at it now).
DeleteAs long we are noticed I am not perturbed by meters, inches or whatsoever. :-)
DeleteLet's hope he was just using the video for his own "entertainment" and not sharing it. There are perverts everywhere.
ReplyDeleteI count some of them as friends.
DeleteEven the most beautiful look naff in leopard print and even worse leopard print leggings 😱 XXXX
ReplyDeleteH.I., me and Sarah would disagree.
DeleteGood luck with the gazebo. I much prefer the solitude of my garden to the view of a passerby in leopard print leggings. Makes me shiver.
ReplyDeleteJohnson said, "A man who has lost the desire for leopard print leggings had lost the will to live".
DeleteI love leopard print!
ReplyDeleteanyways, Tom can you tell me what restrictions you have at the moment?
We have borders opening tomorrow, gatherings of ten people, cafes and bars up to 20 people so long as they eat and get out quick. We are still at 1.5 metres apart.
That's my girl. I go for anyone in leopard print. We can now go out and meet one person at a time (from a distance of 78 3/4") and maybe let 6 year-olds back to school so they can infect teachers, parents and grand parents with Covid before and when they get home. We have now beaten even Italy in the mortality stakes, and that's saying something. It makes me proud to be British and living in a free country.
DeleteWe can drive as far as the Welsh or Scottish borders but no further, because we do not have a joined-up strategy for Covid. We can sunbathe in parks all day and play golf, but I don't play golf. It makes me want to stay indoors, despite the freedom.
Trendy carol was wearing leopard print recently
ReplyDeleteThe hussy.
DeleteI've had gazebos like your gazebo. Never had one last five or six years, however. Probably due to being plain grey and white, no leopard spots.
ReplyDeleteI always have to have white ones so I can tell the true colour of what I am working on when I'm under it. I am wondering what a leopard print would do.
DeleteI just wondered if curly brackets 'worked' on Comments. (Any excuse to write {as nothing better to do}).
ReplyDeleteI wish you could use italics and bold on comments. If you type something in CAPITALS it makes it seem as though you are shouting.
