Shadowboxer's humour
I think we all agree that dear Lesley had a wonderful dry sense of humour. Manys the time I have been creased up with laughter at what she has posted, in particular about the fiercesome plant life in her garden.She had a knack of being hilarious with just a few words.
Her favourite quote of mine is now in my signature. Please feel free to add yours to this thread - it would be nice to read and remember them all again.

Good morning
Funny weather here, can't make up its mind whether to rain or shine.
We went to look at ride-on mowers this morning. Mr SB has decided that he would like a four-wheel drive model - $16,000 Even with a trade-in still not cheap! My argument that it would be less expensive to pay for medical treatment if/when the old one careers down the hill and he gets broken did not go down too well!
Hope your day is a good one.
***Today's dietary advice***
1) Never eat more than you can lift.
2) Only Irish coffee provides in a single glass all four essential food groups: alcohol, caffeine, sugar, and fat.
Sums her up brilliantly taking life with a pinch of salt.

Can one successfully sue the supermarket chain for causing stress, grey hair and wrinkles?
I liked this one so true for so many of us.Although there was always something to make you chuckle.

"I got Mr SB to chop a bit off my hair this morning. Is it 7 days that is the difference between a bad haircut and a good one? Please don't tell me it's a month"
