Yesterday's too - push them aside and head for a quiet lie-down. At the only hour permitted by law I stand and hose the front garden. Boredom and arm-ache set in soon. I just want a quiet lie-down. Whenever he sees another dog to greet my dog is dragging me off my feet - I just want to get home soon as I can and have a quiet lie-down. This house has countless windows all in need of elbow grease. I've polished five or six and now I just want a quiet lie-down. The car keeps stalling, I almost lose control without power brakes. Let me get home soon as I can and have a quiet lie-down. Last week two funerals - same day - brought home to me we all have to die. Roses and organ music, or chanted Hebrew - they both got their quiet lie-down.
