Will you come to the Mission, will you come, come, come?
There's a nice cup of tea and a bun, bun, bun...
Bob maintains Terry Pratchett wrote this in one of his Discworld books - but I have this distant memory a Sally Army girls singing it. Can anyone help me out here?
We had the injections, very efficiently done, thank you, at the Wallisdown Pharmacy [including a pleasant chat to the woman doing the administration - a local head teacher who is released from her school every Friday as a volunteer for the vaccination roll-out] I made one purchase in the pharmacy, then we picked up milk and bits in Aldi, collected something from Bob's Office at church - and came home for a nice cup of tea- and we shared a Belgian Bun.
I have swept the fringe to one side- I don't suit the Claudia Winkleman look - nor yet Lucy Worsley's schoolgirl
barrette. When I was an officer in the Girls' Brigade, I wore my hair in a proper, formal bun, formed around one of those bizarre nylon "doughnuts"
I do hope that I shall soon be able to get my hair cut but of course, I shall have to find a new hairdresser in Norfolk.
My last haircut was March 12th. And tomorrow, my 'temporary' dental filling will be one year old. I am still diligently chewing buns etc on the right side of my mouth, as I am terrified of dislodging or cracking it. I shall have to find a new dentist in Norfolk too.
But I am happy to have my hair off my face and out of my eyes again!

The Claudia Winkleman trend for hair right over eyes drives me nuts! How does it not drive her mad too?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you can see what you're doing now
No point in buying those new glasses last autumn if my fringe obscures my vision!
DeleteGlad you had your injections! I have several of those claw clips, but, my hair is so fine, now, that the clips tend to slide down! That bun looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteThis one has a sort of suede finish, which doesn't slip like my previous shiny plastic one
DeleteI remember those doughnuts - but mine was home made! From old tights, I seem to remember.
ReplyDeleteThere was always a good supply of old tights back then! My opaque ones last so much longer
DeleteI had been wearing my hair a bit longer than usual when lockdown hit last March. By the time I was able to get it cut - late Summer - I was wearing it in a ponytail or up in a bun - something that hadn't happened in years! And it was not a good look! In late October I went back and had it cut short - it was a razor cut - and I'm so glad that I did. That was my last hair cut and I don't anticipate being able to get another one for at least a couple of months as we are still under a "Stay at Home" order - and numbers are up again as of this morning so we may not be released on March 9th as hoped.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got your shots! We are so behind here as we don't manufacture any vaccine in this country. My age group isn't on the schedule until June 1st - about what I expected so I'm not "getting my knickers in a twist" - unlike a friend who is driving me a bit crazy with her moaning and groaning! They just approved the Astrazenica yesterday so that might move me up a bit. I hope you don't have any after effects and give yourselves a nice quiet weekend.
We both had a rough night- taking it as easy as we can today.
