Dear diaryJust have a look at my mom’s profile with them photo’s being uploaded and you will see the reason for my absence…….the old lady was busy with ‘one of her projects’…..yeah…..I was not given ‘the time of day’! To her defence, she has been doing a fine job, pulling those young artists work out from where it had been lying somewhere for sometime and I suppose as in “your world,” there apparently is something called “a budget”! Maybe that is what she has been waiting for, I would really not know! I was thrilled to bits when she and her sister did all the hard work getting them paintings up as a ‘surprise’ for my dad! During that time, I had the privilege of the lounge and I had the two of them in “stitches”! I pulled out all the stops and entertained them! I went right through the menu! “What did mommy do?”, where you going?” Barney want an apple”, “ooh ooh”, “bye-bye”, “hellloooooo poeppies” but I am having a whale of a time, because I have combined a long sentence with such a high note, that any ‘pop star’ would be proud of and the old lady and my dad cannot work out what I am saying……let them figure it out! Maybe that will make them brain cells ticking!Last week ‘mother dearest’ left me on my own till dad came home. “Hearing through the grapevine”……and now I am going to ‘gossip’ a bit, she went to celebrate her godchild’s driver’s licence. She is actually at the stage in her life that at the venue where she has been celebrating, they should ask her for her ‘pensioner’s card’! Low and behold, she went to a place called Raffles! Oh my, I overheard one lady telling her……”I thought I was the oldest person here”….bless my mom, she said the lady was a bit ‘tipsy’….and as they say in Afrikaans…..”drank verdra nie onreg nie”…..the old lady just shrugged it off. One thing though, I have noticed for a week she did not hear so well…………..I believe it was the music! She says she truly feels “punished” this week. We have these lovely shuttle buses taking you all over Durbs. The conductor gave my mom a “pensioner” bus fare……..well, she really ranted and raved but it is one of those things……she has to come to terms with! After all what she experienced, I still love the old lady and my dad no matter what! Ciao…….hopefully, the old lady will not think up some more “projects”…..I do throw my toys and sometimes my food out my cage! See you later alligator!
