Quote of the day...

'I once got 0% in an exam

at university!'

Early morning call from my much loved 

nearly 90 (in September) friend.

We were talking about my fear of taking pills

of any description and the reasons

(see Doris blog)

Preludin and the effects in the days of my early years

(not taken by me... by my mother Doris)

'Oh yes, I've tried them all!'

 Rose said.

I nearly fell off the dfs in shock.

'In one exam, off my head on amphetamines,

I wrote a limerick

sixteen times and then walked out!'

'Wot!'

I sputtered into my mug of

builders brew.

I knew from first sight I liked her...
an old lady, hard to imagine her young.
From day one we just got on; even today in class
we giggled like naughty school children.
Her going to university all those years ago, 
impressed me.  Her being off her face, in some obscure
way did as well, don't ask me why?
Rich coming from one who ran away from being
breathed on by a lad smoking dope.
I'm obviously not as wild as I'd have you believe!
