1. Rosey took her sewing kit on a train to repair a rip in her skirt during the journey. When the handsome young man sitting alongside stood up to leave he found Rosey had accidentally sewn her skirt to his jacket!
2. Whilst queuing in Starbucks, Rosey mentioned James, a prospective new boyfriend. “He told me he’s a barrister,” she said proudly. Rosey’s mouth dropped open when James the barista served our coffee!
3. Once in church, she asked me if sanctified wine was another name for Sancerre! I was worried in case whilst receiving communion she’d ask if they had any Chardonnay. Fortunately, she didn’t.
4. She told me once that she tiptoes past her medicine cabinet to avoid waking up her sleeping pills.
5. She was worried she had diseased feet. “Look, brown spots”. I pointed out they formed a pattern just like the circular cutouts on the Crocs she wore.
“Suntan?” asked she.
“Yep” said I.
6. You are often unsure if she’s joking or being serious like when she said that nine out of ten injections are given in vain.
7. I saw Rosey in the mall yesterday. She was returning some jeans to for a refund because they had holes in them. She showed me.
“Rosey”I said, “they are distressed jeans, they are meant to…..’‘
“They are distressed?’ she interrupted. “What about me?”
“You must be mortified” I quipped.
“Mortified? I’m not dead!”
I received one her looks that make me feel like I’m the ditsy one!
8. The other day she said ducks wake up at the quack of dawn. Then she said “What do you call a cat that’s swallowed a duck? A fat-duck-filled pus!”
“I think you mean a ‘duck-filled fatty-pus,” I said. She didn’t understand.
9. Rosey saw a helium-filled balloon straining skyward, and it made her think. She’d just posted a fragile package, and if she could have wrapped it with helium-filled bubble wrap it may have weighed less! I said if she invented a helium bra, she would probably weigh less too!
10. She once said “Every day is a gift. That’s why it’s called the present”.

Oh my. I have been known to sew a garment to something I was wearing. Tell Rosey it happens to the best of us.
I shall, although I have a sneaking suspicion she may have known what she was doing!
Ah this may made laugh more than once! Gotta love Rosey
Debbie
I’m pleased it worked!!! We all love Rosey.
Thanks for the chuckles.
The pleasure is mine, Sascha! Thank you.
Tell Rosey I know just how she suffers when the world is full of wise crackers. I told my daughter we had friends for dinner last week and she asked, “Did they taste good?”
“Distressed jeans” are incomprehensible in any language. You really have to shop with both eyes open these days.
Another Rosey! If my friend reads your comment she’ll wonder why your daughter’s comment was amusing! Cheers Christine
Couldn’t decide which one was the best. I think I’ll settle for tip toeing past the sleeping pills.
I think I agree with you Kalpana.
Ha ha ha. Nine out of ten injections are indeed given in vain, the body is healed by the pills while they are sleeping 🙂
The simple ones are the best! Cheers Anurag
Rosie never fails to make me laugh. “Distressed jeans”, nice one… 🙂

I’m so pleased, thank you very much.
Felt like I was in the audience for a stand up routine. Nice, Keith!
A fat-duck-filled pus – I read this over and over, trying to decide if I am too tired to understand. I finally moved on to the next sentence. Joke’s on me 🙂

It’s not a very good joke Emily! I’s wordplay on duck-billed platypus but Rosey bless her got it muddled!!
Rosey is delightfully naive and astonishingly perceptive and wise at moments (pt. 10). I simply love reading about her 🙂

There are many sides to my friend Rosey! I’m delighted you are enjoying my little yarns.
Breaking into happy song between barista and helium bras.
Cheers Rosey.

All together now!
Hehehhe .
Wonderful post, Keith.
This post would indeed be a medicine for a distressed soul.
Sweet tasting medicine I hope! Thanks so much Moon.
Yes, The M&M type.🙂
eXpertly done Keith, I could have carried on reading more than the 10.

Only Rosey could get so upset by a pair of air-conditioned jeans!
Oh that Rosey. She’s like having a carney at your beck and call.
Too right Jacqui, bless her!
Hi Keith – I think Rosey needs to re-evaluate your friendship … as regards your thoughts on XI … but they’re all such fun … cheers Hilary
They were fun to write and I’m pleased that came across. Two days more Hilary!
Probably a good thing … as I need to return to school … my XI should be IX … #9 to be precise and her bra size … if I was Rosey … I’d be spitting rose thorns … I thought about this as I wandered down the farm road to pick up the post and paper with bright blue skies and tall trees above me … and birds singing – why Rosey and her Roman numerals should pop into my head … I’ve no idea!! Still hot weather here now …
Rosey has that effect on people! She’s been popping into my head all month. Enjoy the weather you lucky thing!
Duck-filled fatty pus might just be the greatest thing I’ve ever heard! Amazing, Keith.
Praise indeed! Rosey will be pleased even though she doesn’t get he joke herself
Ha ha – loved some of these! Clever Rosey! 🙂

Rosey has given me a good laugh this evening and after all the work i’ve done, i needed it!
