Another One!

Knew that couldn't be it.
Realise that in my original 8, when tagged to do this last June, I had mentioned the road accidents. And then I bring them up again. Durr, obsessed or what.

Anyway, instead of the repeat of the road accidents, what I meant to say is:

We were bombed on the beach once, my beloved and me. Well, not us, exactly. Or at all. Our presence was purely incidental. A load of lesbians down the other end were the target. This was on Lesbos and the poor lesbians were bombed, which seems a bit of a cheek. We up on the straight bit merely got boomed a bit and felt all juddery through our towels, and surprised, and then tromped off to get another glass of wine and rolled over and scowled at the ghastly family nearby letting their kids kick sand at everyone.

Interesting. My son was once bombed by mistake on a Greek beach. Rhodes I think it was, he got showered with glass. They blew up a cafe. He never did find out why. Why did they want to blow up the lesbians?

Faith said...

How odd. I don't understand why they would want to bother to blow up the lezzies either.

Milla said...

Don't know. They just did. There was lots of unpleasantness aimed at them for some reason which seemed most unfair since Lesbos (geddit) is meant to be somewhere they should feel safe. Sappho and all that. They seemed pretty equable about it.

I think you must have led an incredibly boring life and you're making all this up.

Or is that me?

Inthemud said...

Good grief Milla!
Bombing lesbians in Lebos, what a thing............good job you were out of the way..........you've had some near misses in your life!

Suffolkmum said...

Blimey Milla I've just caught up with all of this and you do walk in the wild side at times, don't you?! I'm quite glad you're on the other side of the country (not really) but the valley of death seems to lurk at your heels! Terriby, truly sorry about the miscarriages, I can relate in a small way. You'd think they'd have come to terms with the lesbians on Lesbos, how horrible.

Pondside said...

I think we should take a collection for a sign to be worn by you at all times Milla....something along the lines of "Warning. Being in the vicinity of this woman may be hazardous to your health".....what with random deaths and bombings you conjure up visions somewhat opposite to a lucky rabbit's foot.
Of course, I disagree completly with MOTL - your list is too interesting to be anything but 100%true.

Westerwitch/Headmistress said...

Yes why would anyone one want to blow up the lesbians - how bizarre . . was anyone hurt.

Kitty said...

Phew - flipping heck - etc. I was going to suggest we meet up again this year when we're in your neck of the woods, but on second thoughts the aliens might abduct us or something...

Fennie said...

Bombed? Proper bombed? With explosives? Or just flour, water, custard? You don't mention anyone being hurt. Knees bent the wrong way. So sad. Nature loves diversity. Can't understand why people minding their own business should be considered a threat to anyone. But still there are those who like blowing other people up and who seem adept at writing a one way contract with God. They are part of the diversity too, but of course they don't see it that way.

Maggie May said...

I'm not sure what you mean by bombed! You seem very calm about it if it was explosives!
Why would any one want to bomb lesbians anyway?
The mind boggles!
I'm dying to know now!

CAMILLA said...

Hi Milla,

How strange, people wanting to bomb Lesbians.

My son was to catch the tube in London a few years ago, glad he decided to cycle, tube station was bombed. I remember ringing him to see if he was alright, me, shaking like a leaf with sheer panic, him on the other end of the phone, saying "dont worry mumsy" I'm fine".!!

Golly - what an exciting life you do lead! You obviously have some kind of guardian angel keeping an eye on you. How shocking to have witnessed someone being run over. And nearly bombed. And sorry to hear about the miscarriages - that must have been very harrowing. When we do finally meet, can I just insist on no mopeds?

menopausaloldbag (MOB) said...

Milla - thanks so much for popping bye my blog and leaving such great feedback. I have to say that I am humbled because your writing is so incredibly good. I'll be back to catch up this week but managed to read about three - your life seems spookily like mine in many ways.
Thanks so much and dear God the poor old lesbians in your story.

Frances, said...

Yours is a most amazing blog, and you also seem to lead an amazing life. I found you on a comment from Zoe's Garden Hopping. I was enchanted by your stick figure drawing at the computer. So what about the lesbian bombing, who did the bombing, or was it the children kicking sand bombs?

nuttycow said...

It occurs to me Milla that you're going to get some very odd visitors via google with the stories you're posting on your blog.

Bombs, lesbians, sand. The mind boggles :)

DJ Kirkby said...

Really? People bombed on a beach? Nuts! Glad I don't go away on hols...

Georgina said...

Hi Milla, I came via SITH to tell you a brocante is a second hand sale, a bit like a car boot. I can't believe though a group of lesbians would go to Lesbos. Would Transvestites go to Transilvania I wonder?

Dumdad said...

Hi,

A reciprocal visit and very interesting too. Car accidents, miscarriages, new house, batty old woman, skips, bad neighbours etc. The planet might be ending soon but, quite honestly, we all just haven't time to deal with THAT and day-to-day living!

Un Peu Loufoque said...

Bleeding hell Milla, we spent a wonderful time in Lesvos and weren't bombed even once, not even shot at, not the slightest hint of even a small handgrenaide thrown at us by mistake...I'm with Pondside..I oculd make you a rather attrative gustavian styled ceramic sign to wear about your neck saying something liek a governemtn health warnng on it!!

Sally Townsend said...

Look Milla when you get the government health warning sign send me one will you ? xx
