On saturday five of the grandchildren came to stay until sunday. Number two had a prior engagement. It was fun although there was a moment during dinner when I thought I might be channelling Louise Fletcher and I was actually on the set of One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest. It was four girls and a boy - I think I'll call him the Lone Ranger, number six with five girls. Well, the Lone Ranger was once again on the keyboard playing with the sound effects and the girls were colouring in (not for number six, "it bores me granny"). They all love to sing and it was so sweet when they started singing Mama Mia - all words correct and in tune. I went to find the ABBA CD. One cd cupboard came without a key and someone in their wisdom decided to push the lock down so the cds have been prisoners for a few months. I really missed Pink, I don't exactly play it when the kids are around, "you and your hand" is perhaps for older ears. But back to the tale. As ABBA were imprisoned in the same cupboard, the love of my life found a drill and drilled out the lock. I played the cd and it was great. Today I removed the Music of Cosmos cd I've been enjoying this week and put in ABBA Gold.
So there you are, if you saw a crazy woman singing along in her car, a big smile on her face and Merlin the parakeet on the front seat next to her, that was me.
