A whispering goblin, eh? Next time you hear it's whisper, tell it to put a sock in it! I have a spare tennis sock (last used to house my mobile) going spare if needed. :)<br /><br />~~~<br /><br />Hi Al. Ah - an Uncle Harry? Maybe he and Aunt Aggie should meet up and dance a waltz.<br /><br />~~~<br /><br />Hi Kit. Glad you liked it! I am looking forward to reading about Aunt Agatha.<br /><br />~~~<br /><br />Hi Ev. Thanks for the offer! Haha. And our island nation is no more - I have seen three planes in the sky so far this morning. And a helicopter woke me up at 5am - I was so pleased.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309191526500602452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-34940719432414788802010-04-20T11:49:24.684+01:002010-04-20T11:49:24.684+01:00Hi Fran.

And next time you see Aunt Aggie, tell her where to go!<br /><br />~~~<br /><br />Hi Laura. Haha - thanks! It makes such a difference giving it a name, it has made me feel immensly better about myself. :)<br /><br />~~~<br /><br />Hi Karen. Heee! Next time Aunt Aggie comes around I will be sure to point her to this post!<br /><br />~~~ <br /><br />I know Martin! I think I have stayed in my comfort zone too often when it comes to reading. This year is all about pushing those boundaries and discovering new authors (at least, new to me!). And I cannot wait, if these books are as you say, they sound like books I will enjoy.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309191526500602452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-76219215990204760652010-04-19T14:27:22.960+01:002010-04-19T14:27:22.960+01:00I hate her!

Do tell your Aunt Aggie to take a hike - interesting that for you it is a 'him' - I wonder what his name would be?<br /><br />~~~<br /><br />Hi Anne. Oh no! Tell her to shift! Don't let her start knitting whatever you do. :)<br /><br />~~~<br /><br />Hi Lydia. I think giving it a name and picturing the conversation really helped me - it became a story, and that put it into my control. And I do get to say 'can it Aggie!'<br /><br />~~~<br /><br />Christine - I love the idea of your young wasp called Wanda! I can picture her (does she give you condescending looks at all?) and see her standing there, tall and slim, arms folded, one designer shoe tapping. Gosh, I hope she doesn't come over my way as well.<br /><br />~~~<br /><br />Hi Martin. I haven't read any P.G. Wodehouse, isn't that an awful admission? He is on the list for this summer. But I shall look out for this Aunt Agatha! No danger of me buzzing off - Aunt Aggie seems to travel about with me whether I like her to or not. But she is very quiet at the moment - still shocked, no doubt!<br /><br />Thanks for saying you like the new-look blog! I'm still not totally happy, but it will do for now. :)Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309191526500602452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-20393604828409459942010-04-16T16:16:59.153+01:002010-04-16T16:16:59.153+01:00Sounds a bit like Bertie Wooster's Aunt Agatha...Sounds a bit like Bertie Wooster's Aunt Agatha - is it one and the same? He always avoided her by buzzing off to New York for a few weeks. I hope you are not considering this (unless you want to of course) as it could work out very costly.<br /><br />Btw, I like your new-look blog.
