Tomorrow...

[panik]

Our new Aga arrives. Can't be connected and fired up till the builder returns from the Algarve but it will be placed on its wee plinth and...

Ah. It should be a thing of excitement and joy but instead I'm feeling sad and sentimental for the poor old rusting, failing stove that the Aga-boys will be taking away with them for butchery. Poor old stove. It's been in our kitchen since 1987. I feel like I'm having the old dog put down.

In other news, it would have been my Mum's 80th birthday today. I planted the massive Madonna lilies I bought for her 78th in our garden. They opened their buds today, blooming away and pumping out the perfume.

A day of sad nostalgia indeed.

Please to be keeping your fingers crossed that it all goes well tomorrow, so much could go wrong and lawks a lawdy my loves, the £££! O:

ETA: Re: Byron. Good heavens above, Rupert, darling, not everything is about teh gay. Calm down dear! It really doesn't take much to get the dear boy going, does it?

And omg it's enemas now!  And that Versace woman. What's up with her face?! O:!!!  She's had 'work' done hasn't she? She looks like a Lady Penelope doll that's spent time in a slow oven.

Nice arse but what are they doing to his poor dick? It sounds very painful. Clearly a man dedicated to his art. ::nods::

And we end on Byrons perfectly preserved, massive pickled erection. Most enjoyable.

Lilies for your mum's birthday - how lovely they decided to bloom today. ::hugs you hard::

Good luck with the new Aga - I can only imagine the trauma of having the heart of the house ripped out and replaced. It'll be wonderful when it's done... what colour is the new one?

::more slightly soggy hugs::

It is blue!!! Liek the summer sea. *g*

The old one - OMG!!!!! I shall post pictures later so you can see. Dear God, we had a fire going day and night in that thing - in the house where we were sleeping!!! ::bites nails. frightened face::

Er... You're watching this Rupert on the telly, I guess. Byron? Is that the poet? the long dead one?

Yeah, a 2 part documentary thing about Byron (the poet) by Rupert Everett. Nice arse.

Aaaand... I forget to send hugs about your mother's day of passing, and having the lilies in your garden sounds right.

It's been so cloudy, yesterday was the first sunny day in ages and they all suddenly flowered which was nice. :o)

Thanks for the good wishes, very much appreciated.

Hope it all goes smoothly.

Thank you. It's in progress now and not doing so badly though the state of the old one's put the willies up me. A bit like those pictures of the Titanic...

I could have done without them turning up (from Hereford) at 7.30am but I suppose that means we get done that much quicker.

The wonderful and mysterious world of Agas... Every time I saw one I didn't understand how it worked, it just did and toasted bread and all was ok :)

Heh. World's most elaborate and expensive toaster. *g*

*nods head* it's hard, isn't it, parting with something that's done such faithful duty. I handed over my old computer today to a dear friend who is moving interstate and taking it with her, so I won't even be able to pop in on it to check it's being well-treated.
:: hugs :: re your mum's birthday. It's been eight years since my mum passed and I still get sad on the day. The lillies sound lovely though.

Poor old Aga but it was (dangerously, as it turns out) on its very last legs. New Aga is very shiny!

Welcome to your new Aga. And congratulation for Blue, just coming back I am waiting to get time enough to savor it as I am sure it deserves. And a big hug in your mother memory.

Thanks darling, you're always so very kind. ♥
