TA-TA! I'M BACK AND ALL IS WELL.

Hijacked by adwear (I stand corrected, Adware), I've been unable to blog for most of the week-end but I'm pleased to say it's now sorted and Pooter and I have been reunited thanks to Husband dearest without whom I'd still be sitting here, wondering just what I'd done and, more importantly, how I could fix it as even I could tell that using that old trick of switching the machine off and then on again wasn't going to work.

Actually it was fairly scary as, all of a sudden, as if by magic, a clock appeared, the screen went blank and a voice boomed at me "BE MOTIVATED".

Oh dear !!!!! (Or words to that effect).

Not a violent person by nature, I can't begin to tell you the things that went through my head with regard to the individual(s) who create such havoc. Ultimately though I just think its a huge shame that they don't put their 'talents' to good use instead of bad - enough said.

Assured by 'Blogger' that this could not be transmitted to any other blog, I, never-the-less, apologise for any inconvenience caused.

AND I wouldn't care but Thursday's offerings, in which I posted my take on some of the items to hit the papers, took me ages to do (and that was only the title). Still I suppose that's one of the good things about blogging, the post will still be there today and tomorrow and the next day and ..... the day after that.

That said, onto today's (which is, of course, THE IDES OF MARCH as well as Ma-In-Law's Birthday) post which was going to be a book review until I took 'the ladies prerogative' and changed my mind in favour of ...........

........... AN IMPERSONATION

.

Yes that's right, today I'm going to be doing my world renowned impersonation but in order for this to work, you are going to have to work with me by listening hard and using just a little (Ok, a lot) of imagination.

"Don't push me! Don't push me!" *

No silly, not Sylvester Stallone, it's HUMPTY DUMPTY. **

* As quoted by fictional character John Rambo in RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD, a film, many of you, like me, may not have actually seen though you may well be familiar with the phrase as goodness only knows it has been used by enough impersonators/comedians over the years (or am I showing my age now?)

** Well that's Rambo sorted. I'm presuming most of you have heard of Humpty Dumpty but do you know the facts behind the fiction, the reality behind the rhyme? No? Me neither so click HERE to find out.
