Welcome to the fourth edition of our bi-monthly newsletter and as you can see it’s another bumper edition! An idea for next time….Have you got a picture of yourself as a baby ?? How about letting me have a copy for a “Who did I grow up to be?” feature.
The first one is on page 8 ~ and there’s a prize for the first correct answer!
I like to keep you all informed, so I thought I would let you know that
I have recently been diagnosed with a very
severe condition.
The scientific world is frantically searching
for a cure. It’s an ailment many of us suffer from but may not as
yet have been diagnosed. However, now that I have ‘come out' you may be
able to discuss it with your loved ones and try to explain what really
happened to you all those times you tried so hard to accomplish something
and didn't.
I call it the BUT FIRST SYNDROME.
You know, it's when I decide to do the
washing. I start down the hall and notice the newspaper on the
table. Okay, I'm going to do the washing. …..BUT FIRST I'm going
to read the newspaper.
After that I notice the post on the floor. Okay, I'll just put the newspaper in the recycle bag .... . . .BUT FIRST I'll look through that pile of mail and see if there are any bills to be paid. Yes, now where's the cheque book? Oops. . . . there's the empty glass from yesterday on the coffee table.
I'm going to look for that cheque book. …… BUT FIRST I need to put the glass in the sink.
I head for the kitchen, look out the window, notice my poor flowers need a drink of water. I put
the glass in the sink, and there's the remote for the TV on the kitchen worktop. What's it doing here? I'll just put it away. . ... BUT FIRST I need to water those plants.
Head for the door and. . . .. Aaaagh! Stepped on the dog. Dog needs to be fed. Okay, I'll put that remote away and water the plants. . …. BUT FIRST I need to feed the dogs.
So, at the end of the day, washing is not done, newspapers are still on the table, glass is still in the sink, bills are not paid, cheque book is still lost and the dog ate the remote control.
When I try to work out how come nothing got done all day, I'm baffled
because. .. . . I know I was busy…………... all day!!
I realize this condition is serious. . . .
I'd get help. . . . BUT FIRST……….
I do hope you enjoy this issue …..drop me a line and let me know
Hazel
Closing date for next issue will be 21st July
