“Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.”
Effoffasaurus I remember watching this film as a kid. ytc has decided that the film is inappropriate noooowadays, No Shit, Sherlock! Ustinov was a jobbing actor. He took what he was given. I’ve been around actors and comedians. With families. They NEEDed to work to earn money to feed their kids. I cleaned nasty, stinking […]
I have never been inside here. But I have vivid memories of us snotty teenagers from Lincs going on a “school trip” to the Natural History Museum and ending up sitting on the steps of the Albert Memorial eating our Mummy-made packed lunches. One day I’ll enter these hallowed, music filled spaces. And maybe watch […]
I’m Exhausted just watching this :o( Grandad George taught me about Double Digging. Thanks, darling man. I STILL HATE doing it. Achy Breaky Back Excuse ? ? ? But……. Like life, one has to dig at least 2 spits deep. If not more to get Good Growth. I’m armchair double digging right now :o)
But… I was so lucky to have gone to school with people just like me. We often shared a MASS detention together for being #BADTOTHEBONE. Write I am a Reject 100 times meant sellotaping 6 pens together and writing that in 2 minutes flat! One of them (in her 50’s…aaaargh. Ancient Crow) still has cropped […]
Please excuse my cuss word…ASTROLOGY! For the 33rd (?) time, I am Sagittarius Sun, Libra Moon, Virgo Rising and Venus in Scorpio. Which makes me everyone’s worst nightmare. FACT! By the way. I didn’t begin to learn astrology until a beautiful friend told me my placings when I was in my 20’s. Which means that […]
BEESWAX I used to be able to buy blocks of beeswax in town but this wonderful shop closed and is now a COSTALOT Coffee. Not the point. Or is it? I used to buy Mason and Kilner Jars there too for my lime pickles, chutneys, jams etc. NOT the point. Get on with it , […]
I needed an iphone. Each day in the local supermarket is an adventure nightmare. Today, as usual, I went to the self-checkout machine and got frightened to death!!!!! Why? Well – they weren’t there yesterday but are today. TODAY the four self-checkout tills in our local Co-op now have screens above them that show you…YOU…as […]
The Quality of Mercy. In order to prove a date, I’m chasing a colour. The trouble is – I don’t know which colour! But I’ve a very strong feeling that the answer lies with the 16th (or maybe 17th) century Venetian artists. This line of thought took me to Shakespeare (The Merchant of Venice) which […]
I don’t know who to blame more. My parents for making me grow up with every style of music or BFF – with whom I’ve just had a wonderful phone convo :o) Anyhoo. BFF and I were talking about the latest BS and this song came into my head from NOWHERE! So. Sue Me ! […]
IT is there. In front of yours eyes and ears. When y’all get off your ego-trips, take a step back and L|O|O|K :o) I’m NOT responsible. I take ZERO responsibility for the BS that y’all REFUSE to acknowledge. MUSIC is MY Muse. I can go from punk to jazz to soul to rock to pop […]
Or Hermes This “mysterious” sign has been used by merchants since AT LEAST the 1300’s But that’s just history. Who wants to know about anything that happened before the 18fiddies? Not MY audience :o)
