OH OH OH how true! Them good old days without them doo gooders to say naught!!!
“I'm normally a social girl
I love to meet my mates
But lately with the virus here
We can't go out the gates.
You see, we are the 'oldies' now
We need to stay inside
If they haven't seen us for a while
They'll think we've upped and died.
They'll never know the things we did
Before we got this old
There wasn't any Facebook
So not everything was told.
We may seem sweet old ladies
Who would never be uncouth
But we grew up in the 60s -
If you only knew the truth!
There was sex and drugs and rock 'n roll
The pill and miniskirts
We smoked, we drank, we partied
And were quite outrageous flirts.
Then we settled down, got married
And turned into someone's mum,
Somebody's wife, then nana,
Who on earth did we become?
We didn't mind the change of pace
Because our lives were full
But to bury us before we're dead
Is like a red rag to a bull!
So here you find me stuck inside
For 4 weeks, maybe more
I finally found myself again
Then I had to close the door!
It didnt really bother me
I'd while away the hour
I'd bake for all the family
But I've got no bloody flour!
Now Netflix is just wonderful
I like a gutsy thriller
I'm swooning over Idris
Or some random sexy killer.
At least I've got a stash of booze
For when I'm being idle
There's wine and whiskey, even gin
If I'm feeling suicidal!
So let's all drink to lockdown
To recovery and health
And hope this bloody virus
Doesn't decimate our wealth.
We'll all get through the crisis
And be back to join our mates
Just hoping I'm not far too wide
To fit through the flaming gates!”

WOW and here's a unique card Michelle made for me and the special notes! She has incredible artistic talent in card and bookmark making! One day I'll post all the bookmarks I've gotten from her, nope not used, but on display all over!
Now the card I got from her before, I can send to someone else as I have my very own special card!
WOW after spending the morning working on masks, I spent the afternoon with Eileen in Bruce's awesome handyman gazebo! Honestly if I had one of these I'd be here spring to fall and no housework done!!!!!! So thank you Eileen for first taco chips n salsa n wine then the lovely vanilla cake n strawberries with Lady Grey tea! AWESOME!!!! AND my first 65th BD card too!
