A Gert Big thing in the Sky. by ladymagpie

A Gert Big thing in the Sky.

There I was having a quiet early evening on the patio and this gert big thing, (West Country Lingo), came floating over the top of me. It's a good job I wasn't sunbathing in my birthday suit.

There most have been at least 10 people in the basket, but I jump a mile when they put the burners full on. I think I'll stay on terra firma with my whisky and American Dry, although I could cook a few marshmallows on that gert big flame.

Ha! Your description makes me laugh. I love the way things like this come to you to your house to be photographed! How wonderfully serendipitous! Love the photo with the burner on! Fav.

Your narrative gave me my laugh for the day as I'm wondering how many sunbathers they did see!! Great capture of the burner and occupants in the basket, along with the eye-catching ampersand.

@quietpurplehaze @dizzyd @snowy @khawbecker @kathiecb @ourrube @featherstone @windridge @claireuk @genealogygenie Sorry I forgot to thank you all for your comments, I'm still trying to iron my birthday suit.

@ladymagpie Heather, you so make me laugh. Wish we could sit down together and have a cup of tea!
May 7th, 2014  
@featherstone Sue, I spend my life amusing and cheering people up, like the man on the checkout in the supermarket today was in fits of laughter with my banter. You can have a cup of tea with me any time, I'm just going to have an afternoon cup of Earl Grey. If you want to contact me direct try middleyard.lady@gmail.com I think I could keep you happy.

So far away...but I love that the internet brings all so close.

@featherstone One of my followers who isn't on at the moment lives in Cincinnati. She a pensioner and now I phone her once a week for a good old chat and laugh, It doesn't cost me anything. So thank you internet and 365project.

@ladymagpie

Perhaps it doesn't need ironing?! I have lots of blouses that you just tie in a knot when they come out of the washing machine and hang them on the line like that..................(Saves a lot of trouble!)

@ladymagpie

Oh and Earl Grey is my favourite too!!
May 7th, 2014  
@quietpurplehaze Hazel are you suggesting that I put myself in the washing machine, then tie myself in a knot and hang from the washing line - this will flatten out my birthday suit ?????
May 7th, 2014  
@ladymagpie

I think you would need some hep with tying the knot?! I mean, no offence, but I would not be able to tie myself in a knot by myself!!!
