The Forgotten Attic

Sifting through my search posts I noticed I had rather a lot of drafts, half finished, half arsed, unpublished posts, that never made the cut, 44 of them to be exact, here's just 4 of them.

                                                         Exclusive Yarns.

A drama set in a wool shop in Tumbridge Wells, with Maureen Lipman, Lesley Joseph, Patricia Hodge and Sue Devaney. It's camper than Hilda Bracket's pisspot.

Portrait of a scrubber by Miss Flange

I don't know who she is, she has been pending since April 2022 no story attached just the picture, you'll be relieved to know it's not a self portrait.  

Buying Christmas presents elderly relatives can be a challenge, it doesn't matter what you get them they always end up saving it 'for best' and it ends up in a cupboard forgotten.

Old people love to knit covers for things, I had a little pouch Great Aunt Alice had knitted for the TV remote control, she also knitted a cover for the toaster in serge green, so with that in mind what old person wouldn't love this exquisite toilet and cistern cover, edged with a delicate lace trim, it will remind them of Christmas day every time they dump.

    That toilet valance would be a bit nylon-y for wiping your bum with. Jx

      I would like one in the downstairs loo for visitors to marvel at but thought better of it, with Carmen's habits.

    Miss Flange has a whiff of Amy Winehouse about her.
    At some point even covers need protective covers.

      Yes she does. I think she was a waitress at a caff I used to frequent, very common with tattoos and if I remember rightly she would rub people up the wrong way by serving people who came in after you first.

    44?! I don't feel so bad about my 17, now.

    I didn't have time to watch all of "Exclusive Yarns", but throughout the Acorn Antiquey nine and a half minutes I did see, I kept wondering where I'd seen Amanda before. Turns out she was Rita, Jonny Briggs' sister!

      In the beginning we see two men sitting down to watch an episode of Exclusive Yarns with pen and paper for taking ones, then later on we see them again with a few other men dressed in drag acting out scenes from the soap, then at the very end we see Rita performing a song on a stage, very peculiar.
