My grandchildren have been taught to call me Sprinkle Pops, does remind me of a cupcake or something less trivial. We are fond of giving our family nicknames, Robert has become known as Roobobs, something to do with rhyming with Robert, but I am only hazarding a guess. Michael is Moochildor Macca, Angela is Ang but I call her Angela, well I did give her, her name. I can go on and on but Sprinkle Pops defeats me. Almost a description of decorations on a cupcake.
My name is Glen, I have answered to that name for many years and have grown fond of it. Fond is maybe not the right word, attached is probably a better word, understandable after 67 years, goodness has it been that long? Grandad or Grandfather would be a natural progression and I will adapt to that under duress. A little old fashion I know, but somethings must be endured.
Granny June was a title my mother cherished, no one thought of referring to her as pastry or desert and I must confess, I would be very pleased if I became know as Glen, strange but it is my name.
Not sure where Sprinkle Pops originated and I apologies in advance if I have offended anyone by not being over excited about the nickname. I do fear my protestations will fall on deaf ears, the unfamiliar, with time becomes the familiar.
Changing the subject, has anyone heard from Angela lately, seems very quiet down under. Maybe it is something I said? Anyway if you see her, tell her I love her.
Walking at the beach at noon and I sighted several beached whales, all white and huge, they just lay there. Could not understand why the RNLI or Sealife was not trying to float them again. I walked on having my own problems, namely JB and his over enthusiasm for the water and then finding someone tanning and shaking himself next to them. Cold shower comes to mind although I must say that dog is like a formula one car's wet tyres dispersing the water at an alarming rate. Funny thing, when I was walking back, one had stood up, I realised it was not a beached whale after all, just a chubby lady lying on the beach, must get my eyes checked.
