My Afternoon Adventure with Gertie........

Because of the weather Ihavnt been out for a few days.So thought come on Jane get yourself together and get out.Took gerties coat off did a quick thirtytwo point turn and gogogo batwoman!My gertie is fully road worthy she has her own tax disk,lights,indicators and wing mirrors and the roads where I live are very quiet! I head off to waitrose haha (just remembering my last visit lol!) Well was just poodling along enjoying the autumn colours the sun twinkling through the trees very nice all on my own.I then became aware of a car behind,I was already kissing the kerb, the rest of the road completely empty not a vehicle insight.The car behind made no attempt to overtake me though,why?? because he was a no it all NORRIS(like the one in corrie) he suddenly pulled up along side of me ,with his window down started to scream at me "get off the f-----g road ---t your not allowed on the road thats illegal!!! and then sped off at the speed of light!!! because of my old longlungs and much meds i dont have much of a voice anymore so although i tried to scream back nothing came out (ahh poor old thing haha) WEEEELLLLI thought thats not very nice it made me feel quite unnecessary. Im sure us crips do pee some off but i didnt deserve that abuse though. I like to think that iam a polite road user! Anyway waitrose went without incident and i made my way back home had been about half an hour.As i reached my house Inoticed that my ramp had gone omg wtf Ithought now what ? SO.............

I called the police and they told me that every available copper are now scouring the area,with helicopters in the air looking for somebody Carrying my 6ft wooden ramp !!!!! :)

Not really a couple of my neighbour sons had a quick walk round and eventually found it pushed down the side of a skip why ?? Iam an end house in the corner nobody walks past it and even if somebody by chance did you would still be able to get by or you could just put on my front? I dont know some people eh ?

Anyway ive now come indoors and poured myself a rather large baileys with ice instead of a fag.:) Will be joining Alcholics Anonymous next week ! You just gotta smile folks.HAha bloody ha :) Janexx

There are some ignorant people around nowadays Longlungs. Had to laugh at you trying to scream and nothing coming out because I've had that one myself. Lol.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed your Baileys. It's my tipple but I haven't been able to have a drink since starting these new anti depressants. The first and last time I tried having one, I went into fits of giggles while on the internet when I was told me cousin had been knocked over by my other cousin's car, because she wouldn't let him drive off as he'd been drinking.

She had gone down, under the front and something had sliced the pads off 2 toes on each foot. It wasn't funny but I couldn't help it, I just went into hysterics. (Good job they couldn't see me. )

When they told me she had asked the hospital to cut the pads off as they were only hanging on by a thread - and they said 'No, because they don't grow back,' tears of laughter were rolling down my face. I felt so bad the next day.

I'd only had 2 small glasses of wine. My son's were looking at me like I'd lost the plot so I daren't touch a drop till I'm off these pills. Lol. Next time, give 'em the finger.

Casper. xx

Casper how funny think i might have giggled along with you, your poor cousin though,Iwant to laugh now oh sorry lol.What pills are they then i might have to change mine for yours lol do they help you sleep at night if they do im on them,coz mine do aswell as keeping me sane no wat i mean nudge nudge :) The finger it is now Casper youve cheered me up thank-you. Janexx

L.L. - you have such a good way of writing a message which kept me interested. Sorry about the motorist - people like him are so +++++ but my advice, use the pavements wherever possible. I will only go in the road if the pavements are ridged with ice.

Wine is my tipple, i'm afraid. 1-2 glasses depending on the day of the week. xx

Hi annie ido use the pavements aswell some around my area are extremely uneven ihave to watch my neck and spine,im always looking for the smoothest option.Having said that the jiggerling effect on your internal organs has improved my.".im whispering now" constipation.So this is a very positive side effect happy days for me.Nothing wrong with a little tipple annie.:) Janexx

Try riding the pavement and some ass will shout that you should be on the road. Ignore them, or blow them a kiss - they then go ballistic, which is sooooooo funny to watch! xx

longlungs in reply toToci

Yes theres no pleasing some your right Toci.How funny i will defo blow kisses if there is a next time,thank-you for suggesting that haha.Janexx

Repeat, avoid roads. Some pedestrians are very nervous about buggies going behind them. I respect their reaction and give them the right of way.

Glad you could laugh it off those type are no worth getting worked up about. Earlier this year in a side street in Weymouth, I was walking behind my family pushing my walking aid. Coming towards me were an elderly couple around my age, over 70, the chap was in front dragging a shopping bag trolley behind him. Although there was plenty of room to pass me, I stopped and pulled into the wall of the building alongside and exchanged a smile with the man as he started to pass. From his wife came a mouthful of abuse and telling her husband that he should not walk into the road for anyone and not to forget that he was disabled. I made no comment but my daughter who was walking in front came back to ask what the commotion was about and was disgusted. Told her I had no intention of letting her spoil my day and she didnt. .

I often wonder what makes people behave in a nasty way for no reason? Seems to me that it takes more energy to be unpleasant than pleasant. Perhaps we should feel sorry for them, they must have a horrible life if their outlooks always sees the worst in others or situations.

Hello maggie this is true the same with smiling and frowning, fortunately those people are the minority thankfully .I know who i prefer and gravitate to.Also making changes with ourselves is never easy and some dont want to and think they are right and the rest of the world are wrong.My cup is half full others half empty eh.but im glad we are all different wouldnt it be boring if we were all perfect like me hahahehehoho lol sorry just couldnt resist myself maggi.

I can't believe people are so nasty. I think I would put a note on the back. This vehicle has a tax disc and is fully roadworthy. If you do not agree with this please call into your nearest police station. I have as much right to be on the road as anyone else.

How are you doing Marvary keeping well I hope? Im super smashing thankfully.Keep well be happy Janexx :)

high 5 to ur boy,hope it was illuminous ,bernicexx

I love to read your posts about your adventures!! Some people are so very rude next time get your phone out and take a picture of his car - that way you should get his reg. plate and you could report him to the police! How odd about the ramp - use bright red paint and paint THIS IS JANES DONT TOUCH! across the middle of it. Love the idea of Baileys - you will need the AA at the rate of your quiet afternoon adventures. Take good care. TAD xx

Hello Tadaw I know the ramp thing i really dont understand. The Lads from a couple of neighbours insisted they be allowed to spray paint the ramp DO NOT TOUCH ME! Iam so lucky ihave a quiet friendly relationship with my immediate neighbours.We dont say much i dont get too involved people can turn funny sometimes and we all have to live here together.Mmm im partial to the odd baileys.:)Thank-you Tadaw you takegreat care too.

That's the way to go. I just put a little speech on Facebook. We were going to my sons this afternoon and in a Farmers gateway someone had fly tipped a whole load of asbestos. What is the matter with people and their manners nowadays. I think I was more cross because my husband has worked with asbestos in the past and it may be related to his pulmonary fibrosis. Someone else will have to clear it and if they don't dress for it and wear masks they could end up with what my husband and many more have. Well that's my rant for the day I hope I didn't bore you.

Now that Marvery is outrageous damn cheek of them who do these people think they are really!!So very unfair i do hope that who ever gets the rotten job to clear it,is properly protected.That does make me angry grrr!Your right to rant about something like that! Dont be daft of course you dont bore me sillybilly :) keep well and keep smiling.Janexx
