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.
Linking to FRIDAY SMILES
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 😂😂😂

Haha! Brilliant! I love The Welder's screen, I bet Drew Pritchard would sell it for £500. xxx
ReplyDeleteMe again....no Milly hasn't seen snow yet and I really don't mind if she's much older before she does lol We had a hint of a few flakes yesterday so I'd be happy if that's our lot for this year 😄😄😄

Happy Friday Lynne, what a brilliant idea, very clever hubby. Have a great week cheers Robyn
ReplyDeleteOh 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
ReplyDeleteI had a VW Beetle convertible and loved it. I still miss that car. You have a great resourceful husband!!
ReplyDeleteDon't know if Annie is having Friday smiles this week but I was ready!!

P.S. Love your car { an even bigger smile now }
That is very resourceful in my book! It is the sort of thing my dad would have done. I hope Frida came through her operation OK! Kate x
ReplyDeleteBrilliant post, Lynn, it really made me smile. I hope Frida is alright, though. xxx
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! Frida's going for surgery. I think I know what that means...good luck Frida. Your man sounds fun! Xxx
