It’s been two weeks since I completed the challenge. Between that and looking after Maisie I was worn out. So meself and Jimmy headed of to Benalmadena  for a week to soak up a few rays and chill out. It was lovely just to sit by the pool everyday with no one to run after…

• So, how did the challenge go Bernie?
• It was actually grand Jimmy, but to be honest with you, Maisie would have a conniption if she knew I was writing about her for the month
• You mean you didn’t tell her?
• I value my life Jimmy
• Wait til she hears the world and it’s mother knows all about her gammy knees
• Not to mention her birds appetite
• …her eyesight
• …her hearing, or lack of
• What?
• Very funny Jimmy
• You always did say you could write a book about your ma
• Maybe I will
• Sure you’re halfway there Bernie
• What will I call it?
• ‘Confessions of a hypochondriac’?
• Too predictable Jimmy, plus ,she’d kill me
• ‘Hear no evil. See no evil’?
• ‘Hear feck all. See everything’ more like. Wait until she gets her new knee. there’ll be no stopping her.
•  That’s it Bernie …’Finding Noonie’
• Stoppit Jimmy, that’s brilliant
• Or… ‘When I kneed you’?
• Leave it out Jimmy, you’re after making me spill me drink
• In other words ‘Go to the bar and get me another drink Jimmy’
• It’s your own fault for making me laugh
• Any excuse Bernie. I suppose you want me to rub in some more sun cream when I get back
• That’ll be lovely hon
• And you say Maisie is demanding?
• You have no idea
• There’s a pair of you in it, sure you’re as bad as each other
• ‘Maisie and Me’ not a bad title Jimmy
• Heaven help us
