I saw Amy off at the station in Sheffield this morning but shes coming back on Thursday. Its been a funny sort of day; sunshine one minute and cloudy the next. I must get some housework done now before my evening meal. We had a lovely day out yesterday. A picnic first in Clifton Park in Rotherham.We sat on the grass on a blanket just near the Bandstand and it was amazing the memories it brought back. Theres a Circus playing there too this week and it reminded me of when Brian & I were kids. Mam took us to the Circus then.( This is 75 years ago.) And in the Bandstand there was a Childrens Entertainer ; Uncle Archie ;and I can remember the song we all had to sing; SUNSHINE CORNER OH ITS JOLLY FINE. ITS FOR CHILDREN UNDER NINETY NINE.ALL ARE WELCOME .SEATS ARE GIVEN FREE. CLIFTON SUNSHINE CORNER IS THE PLACE FOR ME. Great memories! I wonder if Brian remembers that too!!! From there Amy & I drove to Matlock in Derbyshire and thats a beautiful Spa centre. When we got back in the evening we went out for a meal but it was 4th time lucky. There was a 20 minute waiting -list for a Carvery to get a table so we didnt wait at the first restaurant. Then we tried another place but they dont do food; just drinks. Then we tried The Millstone where we usually go but theyd stopped serving at 5-30. But, we finally went to the King William 1Vth and had a lovely meal. ( Alls Well That Ends Well.) Amy is back home in Lancashire now so Im doing a meat-pie for myself tonight.We passed a shop yesterday with a sign in the window which read; EARS PIERCED WHILE YOU WAIT. What did they expect you to say? Ill leave them and call back for them later. Another sign read; Young Lady Assistant Wanted .Must Be Respectable Until The End Of August. And at the local Cinema was a message which said A wallet has been found containing £500.Will the owner please form a queue at the Box -Office. Another message was scribbled underneath and it said The wallet was found by an usherette, Miss Helen Hunt. ( The owner can go to Helen Hunt for it.) Have a lovely evening everyone. Ill close with a rhyme written by Lord Byron on one of his off days; MARY HAD A LITTLE WATCH . SHE SWALLOWED IT ONE DAY. NOW SHES TAKING LAXATIVES TO PASS THE TIME AWAY.( B-Boom.)
