And so it begins

Well Hello Everyone,
Today sees the start of an epic event yes you've guessed I have found out how to blog.
Now everyone must start their day by logging into here and seeing what pearls of wisdom I have for you.
It may be me just letting off steam or a topical incite or me just blethering a heap of crap which according to my lovely wife I do all the time.
Anyway today was a lovely day at Chez Reid.The sun shone and I even managed to sit in it for a while, the sun that is not Chez Reid.Summer is now well and truly upon us as can be seen by the terrifying rate the grass is growing at I'm sure I only cut it last week.Strawberries are in abundance which brings back fond memories of my youth. During the summer holidays I would cycle all the way to Inchture to go berry nabling (should that have 2 n's?).Big plastic punnets tied with string around your waist full of rasp.Hated the rasps as the bushes nipped you all the time believe they are thorn less now which will make it easier,the ones we have on sale at the big M just now are from a supplier in Angus at the moment, small world.They must taste better that those kentish ones.
For youse of those who don't know who the small tousled haired person sitting on a bucket is at the top of the post he is 'Oor Wullie' .
In the Sunday Post every Sunday before I delivered them I would turn to the centre pages and turn the paper on its side to read his latest adventure.He was on one side and the Broons were on the other.Magic stuff.
The Broons lived in Glebe Street but it never said in which city so I have decided that they lived next door to my Great Grandparents as they lived in Glebe Street,Dundee for a long long time.


The last century has seen a terrific amount of advancement in how people communicate,I still have post cards sent by my grandfather to my grandmother when they were courting.I have a telegram from my aunt sent to my grandmother from India when my cousin was born.I wonder what they would have thought about all this digital stuff.

Nowadays FB or SMS is the way to go.I love it all.Skype someone who is miles away on the other side of the earth with VIDEO !!!!what would our great great grandparents thought of that. Anyway tomorrow which is already upon us in some parts of the globe I will do some more Ranting and I will have found out whether Cousin Kath's dreams have been answered .
Till Tomorrow

Sleep tight and dont let the bed bugs bite
