The Bonkers Welder

  Come outside
What for ?
   Come outside  
 What's the rush ?
There's a lovely moon out there
(1962 Mike Sarne with Wendy Richards)


"We are ready for you now Mrs Holland" said the mad welder (my husband)
"What are you on about now" said I.
"You need to come outside" said he, giggling.


"Frida is already for her surgery, if you would like to 
see her before she goes down to theatre"


My bonkers husband had wrapped this old hospital screen 
around my precious VW Beetle, Frida.
"Where have you got that from" I asked.

Apparently they were throwing it out of one of the hospitals he was 
doing a job at and he rescued it, stripped it of its old material and covered 
it with flame retardent stuff and he now uses it when he has
 to corden off an area he is working in.  
Very resourceful, as well as barmy, don't you think.

  1. Hehehe I love it and what happy memories those screens bring back for me....but maybe not with heat retardant fabrics on them as it never got quite that hot behind them 😂😂😂

  5. Oh Lynne, that did make me laugh! Your husband might be bonkers but he is also safety conscious too. The lyrics from that song brought back happy memories too - I was still at school in 1962, sigh. Thanks for sharing. Elizabeth xx
