Six year recurring theme?
Some of us remember Molly. Almost six years later, ignoring the odd month, I got an (un?)pleasant reminder of both Molly AND Alice.
Almost another six years later the three Musketeers found themselves again in a Garden Centre.
I "shouted" for Jerra - "You'd never take that for an Onion would you?" viewed, of course, from the, un-shot, label-free side. I'd seen there was an assorted collection of Alliums (Allia?). It was after I turned it to see the label, that I noticed it was "Molly's Onion".
JAM! and BUTTER IT!! not again?
: ¬ (
We made a first, so far as we can recall, in that we called at both "Carlisle" garden centres on the same day.
I had to take ye olde V 50 up to the Volvo garage for a job which stumped HQ, who sent me to an Auto-electrician, who, in turn, sent me to "a Volvo garage".
We dropped it off and went to garden centre #1. Thence to the local Toby Carvery and onward to the other garden centre; where two senile members of the squad BOTH left their telling-bones in the car. After a wander & brew "he" was sent out to the car for both phones, so I could call them on mine and "check the score."
It transpired they'd been ringing me, unsuccessfully; good job he went for them. So - back to garage where I discovered why I now use the local garage for most of the routine stuff.
BRACE FOR IMPACT!!!
How much per hour?
They had diagnosed the fault, rectified it by removing ONE fuse; which, they tell me, I'll probably never notice is gone, and also told me the baby lake in the passenger foot-well was due to a leaking front windscreen and advised a Screen company.
How much per hour, you ask? £150.00 inc. Very Awful Tax.
Total bill? £150.00
Remember that ancient joke punchline?
" To turning screw - 6d.
To knowing WHICH screw to turn, how far, and in which direction - 19/6"
The extra was to be main - and then Molly took over.
I/we have always had a soft spot for Hellebores. I think, partly due to when they flower - and (second) partly because they stay "lookatable" for such a long time after the useful part(s) of the flower have done their stuff and either dropped off or formed, dependent upon which part(s); if ye ken what I mean?
Accident or design? I've just been checking - Molly's last Blip was on a 7th too, but June not March.
