2009-11-23-The Faces Of The Future

Hi Misolites, 23/11/2009

I can't quite believe it, but it is still sunny and warm. For the month of November that is good news.

My friend and I had a lift yesterday from a certain Misolite and his dog, debated with myself as to whether it was safe or not, but as it was trying to rain (see first sentence) I thought what the hell...is it death or do I get wet....death won!!
The drive was completely uneventful, no near misses, no pedestrians under the wheels, no blue sirens...still what do you want I had to ask myself...didn't like the answer, so am not going to tell you.

With my exercise buddy (aren't I cool) we headed for Shapes (above St. James's Gate)
had a good workout (only kidding) but found out some interesting news, apparently a very good friend of mine (a nurse) also exercises at Shapes, I haven't seen her yet, but I think she may have a surprise when she sees me.

Word has finally come through from the committee, so the two Misolites living on circle S are able to repair the drains which have been blocking ever since we have lived here. It's a dirty, disgusting job and I really admire people who can deal with other people's S**t....I don't think I could. It will save anyone having to come to the circle every three or four days because the drains are blocked yet again.

Made a fatal mistake today and decided to go to Torre market, although I swore not to buy any more shoes (Imelda Marcos eat your heart out) I found (and bought aaggghhh) three pairs of shoes for the princely sum of three euros a pair, and they were Leather!! Theeen, I bought a pair of pumps?? trainers?? something along those lines for my exercise class, they are red and shiny and I love them, any excuse is better than no excuse.

Noticed one of our ex-wannabee presidents weeding the area near the sentry box.....doing a good job, also doing a good job of keeping the bins clean. He has managed to get a bottle bank from where-ever you go to get bottle bank containers from, also apparently has been seen telling off the tenants of Clara who often go rooting in the bins and make a real mess.

The other ex-president was noticed in the office at about 3.00pm. What was he doing there? No-one knows. Let's hope it was all for the good of Mi-Sol Park.

Our permanent Bar keeper has gone on a break with his beloved, where have they gone? some say Liverpool, some say Blackpool, but we can only be sure it is not a trip to paradise (the weather forecast for UK has been terrible).

Our karaoke entertainers were running the bar when we went in on Saturday night, what a bonus for me!!.. I have had my great-grandson visiting (see picture below) and he had taken a shine to my glasses, they were completely distorted and out of shape, but in the healing hands of the female karaoke entertainer....well what can I say, nothing short of miraculous....not only do they fit staight (as against lop sided) on my face (no comments pleeese) I can actually see again. Who said they were only good for Karaoke?? They could start a business mending grandparents glasses.

We went off to the Dingo Diner again for Saturday night nosh, and it once again lived up to expectations. My other half had ostrich steak, we all wanted a little taste, and I was quite surprised...tasted very much like ordinary steak ....... lovverlly...Went on to Bar Carlos and watched all the nutters dancing about, there were only two of us who had drunk enough wine to join in...the rest of us decided to have another drink and try and catch up. After we managed to get the "drunkish" pair to leave the dance floor it was back to Mi-Sol Bar.

As I got out of the taxi and started walking to the door, I thought "that's odd, I feel as if I have just got off a ship, I was swaying about all over the place..(No, I did not drink more than enough on my catchup mission...Ye of little faith) ..

Managed to make it to the bar where it was noticed by the resident sweeper upper that I had left a trail of black stuff??? leading from the door to the bar. Now I don't know what you are thinking, but it was the bottom of my shoe!!!..What the heck, the bottom of my shoe was disintegrating, which is why I was staggering about etc. Now as I looked around the bar, I noticed a certain misolite who could not keep her face straight....hmmmm I thought, hang on a minute, didn't I notice the same misolite surreptitiously passing my house with her dog?? I thought at the time, I have never seen this particular misolite out walking her dog before, what's she up to? ...then she stopped (I thought to maybe pick up some doggie poo) but no, a small animal came flying over my bougainvillea hedge, it was a MOUSE, it dashed into the house and disappeared, it must have made a beeline (or do I mean a mouseline) to my wardrobe and started eating my shoes. When confronted by this, the misolite in question denied all knowledge, and said I must have been hallucinating. I asked her to look me in the eye and say that again without laughing. This proved to be impossible. So I leave it to you, did she throw the mouse over my wall or not??

Another question that was raised on Saturday night was "Did she slip, or was she pushed" the misolite sat between two chairs on the floor of Mi-Sol Bar is the only one who knows, and she can't remember

Below a picture of two up an coming Misolites....Are These The Faces Of The Future??
