This is a slightly supplemented copy of my Facebook page of 1st May 2012:
“It’s wonderful to have such a creative daughter!
(The above relates to an e-mailed collage Becky sent me earlier. The caption is ‘Quads – separated at birth’ prompted by little Jessica’s face-painting of me)
Today’s perambulation took me along the North side of Morden (not National Trust) Park, which is extended by a sadly derelict former London Education Authority playing fields in which young Asian men were occupying disused tennis courts playing cricket. Then along Lower Morden Lane to the Merton and Sutton Joint cemetery to visit Vivien’s grave, the headstone of which Jackie and I are planning to clean up. It is a strangely sobering situation to see what the elements have done to a stone which has been in place for nearly 50 years………..
then back along the boringly relentless 2 mile long avenue of Blay-built houses that is Hillcross Avenue – a journey relieved by thoughts of ‘la recherche du temps perdu’.
In the evening Jackie and I ate at our favourite Sri Lankan restaurant – the Watch Me in Morden Road.”
That’s quite a collage!
She is a wit, Miriam. Many thanks
LOL! Too funny!
It sure is, Jill. Thanks very much
It’s great you have such a wonderful sense of humor!!
🙂 It is. Many thanks, GP
The man with many faces…haha!
When Becky gets on an internet search – yes, indeed. Many thanks, Arlene
LOL I like Hobo You best.
Thanks very much, Brenda
The quads are a hoot. And I love the name of the Sri Lankan restaurant. What a great name for an eatery.
Thanks very much, Leslie. You actually could watch what was going on in the kitchen
Thus the name. Love it.
Ι am in hoots of laughter! That’s an awesome post! Thank you, Derrick! ?
Very many thanks, Sofia. I’m still laughing myself
Wonderful! Yes, the many of many faces, even a spidey one. 😉
🙂 Many thanks, Laurie. My other daughter, Louisa, asked on Facebook why I hadn’t made this my header picture. My reply was that I had tried and failed.
Sometimes I fail too; must be something to do with the size or format.
Back in 2012 I had no idea what I was doing 🙂
That is a witty and clever selection made by Becky – I’m betting you got a few hearty laughs over them too. Fifty years is a long time – it’s so odd having memories that stretch past that amount of years isn’t it. I still recall looking up at someone who was having her 21st birthday and being in awe of how old she was….. 🙂
Such is the passing of time, Pauline 🙂 Many thanks
So humor and clear, Derrick!
Thanks very much, Amy
She made me laugh out loud.
That’s good, John. Thanks a lot
Heh, heh, heh … great photographs. You look suitably deranged! 😀
So kind, Widders :). Thanks a lot
Hehe! I hope you managed to remove the face paint without too much trouble!
Well, it’s gone, now, Clare 🙂 Many thanks
very amusing daughter !
She’s very witty, Sylvie. Thanks very much
Love the montage of images… Worzel Gummidge a firm favourite ?
Oh this is funny!
I am glad you think so, Barbara. Thanks v very much
