Just Got Dragged Outta The Shite

Riaan got awesome news today -  no, FUCKING AWESOME news!!  He got a job offer!

Riaan's been out of work since end of January and we've been wondering how we were going to make it financially through the next few months.

Well, looks that our many prayers and positive thoughts have been answered.

Thanks to all our friends for their prayers and good karma, without this, we would've been VERY dispondent.

Dear Patience

You left me for someone else.  I just know it!  I am devastated.  Just when I needed you the most!

You have broken my heart but I know you will return to support me 100% one day.  I have faith but how will I cope without you until you realise I was the best thing that ever happened to you?

I am in a state of denial and complete shock because I did not see it coming. I heard of friends going through similar situations but I never thought it would happen to me.

I have yelled , screamed and sobbed but it won’t bring you back, will it?  I will have to be calm and composed and analyse what went wrong.  Why did you leave me?

I don’t want to make a fresh start, I want you, Patience, and only you.  You complete me.  I need you more than you will ever know.

Please come back – all is forgiven.

Worzel Gummidge

This morning a colleague mentioned that she had a head-ache.  I told her to just unscrew her head and put a different one on.  She giggled and then it reminded me of a TV programme I used to watch as a young girl on British Children's television in the late seventies.  Gosh, I'm showing my age now..

Worzel Gummidge and Aunt Sally.

Worzel was a walking, talking grubby scarecrow, who had a set of interchangeable heads - turnip, mangel worzel and swede heads - each of which suit a particular occasion or endow him with a specific skill.  He has mice living in his chest, he's obsessed with cake and he's forever trying to seduce a shop mannequin called Aunt Sally, with whom he is in love.

A bit dark and twisted for kids but it was still pretty cool

Can any of you remember this television show?
