YCCMB Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Two Months ago to this very day I went off to the Land The Internet Forgot.Can anyone fill me in on what on earth has happened whilst I honed my face-to-face communication skills and my lying in the pool doing nothing technique?Seems like someone got out a can of emulsion and a roller and gave the old place a relooking.

Théière Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Hi Betty, Yes someone has but just like those decorating programs on the BBC with Barking Linda and LLB some things were better before the roller was applied [blink] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YCCMB Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 Well...on the plus side, at least I haven't accidentally joined another forum, which did for a moment occur to me as the reason it all looked different. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 welcome back to the land of the living dead, Betty. Most of us are still here somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YCCMB Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 Fank ewe Mr Beenana. Could you summarise the last 2months in a couple of sentences for me? I am having navigation problems. It used to be a case of "turn left at the third clump of lavender on the right hand border" but they've done some weeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I can think of a couple of parallels to illustrate what my natural delicacy does not allow me to spell it out for you, Betty.When I am out walking with my randonneur friends and if I should get un petit caillou in my shoe and I have to stop and remove it, it seems to me that the whole group picks up speed and has disappeared from sight by the time I straighten up again.Or I am the last in a queue for the loo before lunch and by the time I am done and come back out, everyone else has gone off for the apéritif and I am left wondering which direction the bar is.I am daily waiting for when I go out for the day and return home to find the front door lock has been changed in my absence after OH decided that enough is enough, living with such a neurotic wife.So, did you not get the feeling that, perhaps, there was a decision made to confound you and direct you elsewhere?[I]PS I have missed you, truly![:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YCCMB Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 Oh dear, mint. Well, my very long loo break, or the time spent removing a boulder from my shoe, seems to have been a period of some change, that's for sure. Luckily, Mr Betty obviously didn't change the locks, in fact he flew out to accompany me home. Judging by the state of the kitchen, fridge and cupboards, he was not designed for self-catering.

Cendrillon Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Good to see you posting again on this rather messed up forum.As a matter of interest did Mr YCCMB by chance have a visit from the washing machine / ironing fairy while he was in self catering mode?[;-)] I do find those visits are rare.[:-))] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patf Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Welcome back Betty [:)] I wondered where you were. Have you been in France all this time?

Gardengirl Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Ah, but this is Betty version 2; you should have seen Betty version 1!Welcome back Betty; some of us stayed with this forum, even though we've often been on the verge of tearing our hair out.

YCCMB Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 Taverymuch all. Even Norman. I have been off in profondest France where the neighbours greet one with blood on their glasses and a half-strangled chicken in hand (no, I'm not making this up) and where the spiders are the size of tarantulas. Cendrillin, Mr Betty does his own ironing. He thinks he can do it better than me, and who am I to contradict him? ?I like this new forum, but if anyone asks, I shall deny I said it.
