GENEROSITY
Back streets of Dublin
What I like about the blogging fraternity is that generosity seems to be their middle name.
Sharing of time, skills, ideas and friendship are as natural as rain in Ireland.
Thank you one and all.

GM. I’m having trouble getting the bucket over that wall…..but quick my darling, make a dash for freedom, someone has left the gate open!
Steph- Couldn’t agree more
Do Fas do spelling and typing courses does anyone know?

Steph ~ middle name!?! One name is more than enough for me.
Mike ~ are you sober this morning? Do you remember your name never mind how to spell it?
The gate might be open but the briars are blocking the way.

The blogosphere is interesting because you get to see what people think before you meet them (if you ever get to meet them).
It’s the complete opposite in real life where people are initially just faces and handshakes.
I suspect as well that people reveal sides of themselves in blogs that only their closest friends might otherwise get to see.
So we read someone’s blog and almost immediately can think “I like this person.” Or not.
And once you decide you like someone, the sharing naturally follows.

@ Declan
I like that concept. It’s so true!
@ Mike
Is there room in the bucket for three?
Grannymar needs me to carry all her goods and chattels
(not forgetting her Toyboy badges)
Mike said,
June 28, 2008 at 12:35 pm
@ Steph
Theres always room for three as long as GM doesn’t mind
I’ll get a bigger bucket
Besides we need our manager on board to make sure everything goes according to plan

@ Mike
I think Grannymar’s done a runner…
or maybe she’s too busy ‘entertaining’ the TV licence man
Grannymar said,
June 28, 2008 at 1:42 pm
… centimetres or inches… start again!
Hello children, what are up to? I say taking the pins out of my mouth.
Steph ~ I knew you were jealous - wanting a lift in my bucket , my bucket! Just make sure that there’s no hole in my bucket…de da da, de dum!
Declan ~ you read my mind.
Mike ~ Do I know you?

…..check the shackles that hold the bucket first…I’d hate it to drop from a great height.
Who’s driving BTW?
Grannymar said,
June 28, 2008 at 4:02 pm
Magpie
I was wondering about that. Are you offering to drive?
Mike said,
June 28, 2008 at 4:15 pm
I’m back having just passed with flying buckets my blogging spelling testr
Anyway back to the serious business of buckets…the crane has broken down so I’v got a JCB with a HUGE bucket with plenty of room for 3 if thats ok GM
and I’ll bring some straw for the hole
Your ever adoring TB
@Maggie
Dont worry I have a cert for driving
steph said,
June 28, 2008 at 4:18 pm
“Mike ~ Do I know you?”
Grannymar - I’m sure your father told you that you should never talk to strange men!
I’ll look after the bucket…don’t you worry about a thing!
Mike said,
June 28, 2008 at 4:29 pm
Maggie- that would be great if you could drive and let me concentrate on the bucket
Steph - are you sure your up to the Managers job its a big task ahead.
Sit tight my darling GM I’ll be there soon
steph said,
June 28, 2008 at 4:43 pm
@ Mike
I’m ready!
@ Magpie - don’t forget your driving licence!
@ GM - has the TV licence man arrived yet?
This gallant rescue won’t take place until he rings the doorbell
Grannymar said,
June 28, 2008 at 4:46 pm
Mike ~ was the test difficult? Do you think I need to sit that test?
Is a bucket party like a bucket seat on an aircraft - cheap and cheerful? I am so not into cheap and cheerful
Magpie ~ I think we need you to drive, have you got SatNav?
Steph ~ If I did everything my father told me… life would be boring.
Uh, Oh! There is an ould fella looking in the window… help!
Mike said,
June 28, 2008 at 5:02 pm
You’d pass with flying colors no need to do the test.
Steph- Do you do everything your father told you?
Maggie- Quick we need to rescue GM fro the nasty TV man…now wheres my super hero suit when I need it?
steph said,
June 28, 2008 at 5:04 pm
“Uh, Oh! There is an ould fella looking in the window… help!”
Don’t worry about that ould fella, GM
It’s only Grandad coming to show-off his new toy
steph said,
June 28, 2008 at 5:07 pm
@ Mike
Definitely not! That’s how I got in the mess I’m in today!
Mike said,
June 28, 2008 at 5:12 pm
Steph -I’m worried about GM and that olde fella, grandad or no grandad. How do you you thing we should approach the rescue?
Grannymar said,
June 28, 2008 at 5:15 pm

Hands tied

steph said,
June 28, 2008 at 5:20 pm
@ Mike
Well, fix it dear Mike

Well fix it dear Mike

To the rescue! Get the JCB revved up!
Mike said,
June 28, 2008 at 5:24 pm
Sorry GM JCB broken down. Trying to hitch a lift
Whats it like typing with your toes?
OK Steph I’ll steer the JCB if you push it
Shame on you grandad tying up my beloved GM
You get a lovely view of the countyside traveling at this speed

steph said,
June 28, 2008 at 5:30 pm
Puff! Puff! Pant! Pant!
Where’s Magpie when we most need him/her?
@ Mike

M said,
June 28, 2008 at 5:42 pm
Only another 70 miles to go Stteph… now aren’t you glad you joined the gym
less puffing and more panting
I’ve a kango hammer at the ready
Grandad wait till grandma finds out what you’v been up to - no more cups of bovril, slippers at the ready and Irish Times ironed for you
This is exhausting work being a super hero… I’ think well have a spot of lunch in that pub there
Grandad dont even thing about kidnapping GM
Mike said,
June 28, 2008 at 5:46 pm

steph said,
June 28, 2008 at 6:00 pm
Hang on, I need a pee first!
Don’t give up hope, GM… we’re on our way!
steph said,
June 28, 2008 at 6:17 pm
GM - the JCB’s disappeared!
Mike seems to have done a runner when I was in the loo…
Are you OK?
Mike said,
June 28, 2008 at 7:38 pm
Back again. I just went to buy a lotto ticket in case we have to pay a ransom for GM just in case grandad (pretending to be Mr TV man) decides to kidnap her.
Steph you need to push harder
Grandad you are in so much trouble. Grandma’s got the rolling pin ready for you and if you think your going to Ballybunion on holidays again youy got another thing coming
Harder Steph
Grannymar said,
June 28, 2008 at 9:39 pm
Mike did the lotto come up?
Have you run away with Steph and left me all trussed up like a turkey.
This is going to be a long weekend!

Haha . . .a comment blog! Brilliant! I was going to say something serious but . . .what’s the point?
steph said,
June 28, 2008 at 10:40 pm
Here I am again!
You’re right, Baino
it’s been a bit mad around here today.
I think we scared off all Grannymar’s other commenters.
Grannymar - you can come out from under the bed now.
I’ve just the TV licence man towing a JCB to the cop station…
with Mike in the bucket
Grannymar said,
June 28, 2008 at 11:00 pm
Baino ~ stay and help me out here, I am deserted…
I hear a noise…
Steph ~ you are back at last. Who is going to untie me? I’m worn out with all this excitement, think I’ll fall into bed.
Zzzzzz!
steph said,
June 28, 2008 at 11:42 pm
Goodnight! Grannymar,
Sleep tight. No… not tight as a tick!
I’ll be round in the morning to check you out.

Oh my gosh!
I learned to drive but never took my test! Too many idiots on the roads as it was.
My excuse for not being on hand? I was stuck in a traffic jam!
But I’m here now! Too late as usual….
Grannymar said,
June 29, 2008 at 6:26 pm
Magpie
I think there are still idiots on the road. Stay safe!
