MISCELLANEOUS AMUSING ITEMS I’VE COME ACROSS #11
garden leave edition
(i) I’m not sure my mother and I will ever truly understand each other.
(ii) When three seemingly identical gardening shoes turn up where logically there should only be two, my theories tend toward the rational, my mother’s toward the supernatural. You might say that we’re the Mulder and Scully of horticulture.
(iii) Lola: My Cocaine Hell. Things started to go wrong for my niece when she fell in with that ‘party baby’ crowd.

I admire the fact that your mother used two pegs on a small plastic bag. Most would risk just the one.
I’d like to think that the bag once held raw chicken and your mother disinfected and dried it for use with sandwiches.
She’s a National Recycling Hero !

Some vague environmental reason definitely possible.
I did ask her why she hung a Dunnes Stores plastic bag from the clothesline. But she claimed not to remember!

If she ever considers running for elected office, boy will that photo come back to haunt her.

The kid stole a kilo of Charlie and the Russians took her hand.
Rough time to be a junkie toddler.

Was the plastic bag some sort of ominous mob type signal?? Like receiving a box of fish or horse head in the cot?

Yeah I think the plastic bag was a Sicilian message: your Ma has just made BIG savings
