And a drop of whisky in a thimble

It’s Xmas, let’s not count the pennies

52bright Sun 13-Dec-20 22:38:25

Perhaps a gentle stroll would be better at first

threexnanny Tue 15-Dec-20 18:55:28

Perhaps a gentle stroll would be better at first
But I'll take some water in case of a thirst

And when they say "I love you Nanny"

It's not the same now, it's all grunts and sulks

Pantglas2 Fri 18-Dec-20 16:02:38

It’s not the same now, it’s all grunts and sulks

It’s that way round so that’s a blessing!
