MYSTERY OF THE MARIGOLDS
I always wear Marigold gloves for
dirty work, washing up etc. But still haven’t figured out why it’s always the
right hand glove that gets torn. I am right handed, therefore I assume it’s the
right hand glove that gets all the knocks. But why is that? I’ve checked it out
and it seems to me that it should be the left one that cops for a few slashes
since it’s the right one that wields the implements or manipulates the
dishcloth. I tried using a long handled brush but this proved to be ineffective
in the washing-up stakes so I went back to the hands-on routine.
This has been going on for
several years and only now am I querying it? Why? Because the other day I had a
shock ... it was the left hand glove that got nicked. No, it wasn’t stolen,
just gently sliced. I’m not going to throw the good glove away because it might
come in handy next time I’m stuck with a left-hander.
WI NEWS
I am thrilled that at short notice I've been able to book a group to entertain us at the WI’s birthday lunch. The lunch
is just a month away and nothing had been prepared prior to the new committee
taking over. Thinking caps on!
I remembered seeing a charity group
at Townswomen’s Guild and wondered if I dare approach them for a date that was imminent
knowing that people book them months and years in advance. Remember the saying,
nothing ventured, nothing gained? Well, it’s true. I ventured and lo and
behold the reply was yes, we’ll come.
Whoopee. I just know the ladies will enjoy the performance.
The charity is Music in Motion
which promotes sign language through participation. It is a Birmingham UK based group of deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing
people who use British Sign Language in a unique way to interpret popular
songs by performing the lyrics in sign language. This creates pathways between
deaf and hearing communities with music and Sign Language. Their aim is to
promote deaf awareness and to introduce the arts to the deaf community.
Music in Motion has performed at a variety of venues throughout
the country and frequently gets invited to give repeat performances so I think
I was very lucky to get an agreement to perform in such short notice.
When I saw them the ladies in the audience joined in the singing
and even got up dancing. I gather that was so unusual it was remembered by the
group. Who knows, that may be why they agreed to come ... in order to see us
making fools of ourselves.
