It's Still Life

It’s Just Another Day

Monday!
I’ll peel the flint grey from the sky,
Walk your dog,
as I’ve not one myself,
Grant the garden rest from my criticism,
And I’ll be kinder,
if not dumber,
To all your
bloody-minded
pointless
annoyances.

Better still, let them walk the dog – and fix the garden!

  Perfect. And now Mr M is trying to fix the rain gauge with old batteries. I swear (and often lately.)

I had to fix the toilet yesterday. A simple repair: replace the arm that pulls the chain that lifts the stopper and allows the flush. Took about 5 minutes at the hardware store and about 10 minutes leaning over the tank. My Beloved Sandra treated me like Superman all day long. She even baked some gingerbread & whipped up some fantastico lemon sauce. I’d walk her dog any day, if she had one.
Great work, Misky!
