Diary of Grace Russ (1933-2006)
My Pinky, Mauvy, Browny Blouse
I am wearing my pinky, mauvy, browny …. Oh! Let’s start again. I am now wearing my multi-coloured blouse today – with a full complement of buttons! So had no ‘incidents’ this morning. It all went quite smoothly actually, for a change. Mind you, Dennis did have to give me a knock at 7.30 as I was still in the land of the nod. (I wonder if he can tell by hearing me snoring or something? Hadn’t thought about that – will have to ask him tomorrow). We had two boiled eggs for breakfast this morning …. Inflation has struck!!
Last night, before I went in to do my cleaning job, I went over to have a bite to eat at Moorgate Buttery. I gave my order to the Manager and the whole place seemed to burst into laughter. I said “Could I have a lemon toast and an egg on tea please” You can see I am still the same!
