“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.”
When I took youngest to the hospital t’other day, I did a Time & Motion study before we set off. A certain town is exactly half way between us and Lincoln and I had a bit of shopping to do. So rather than take him there, take him home, get back in the car and […]
Oooh. My favourite weather is coming in. Thunderbolts and lightning, very, very frightening (not) me :o) Mamma Mia Mamma Mia, LET ME GO. Bismillah … in the name of God (an invocation used by Muslims at the beginning of an undertaking). Himself freaks peeps out when he talks Arabic to strange Arab people in this […]
We watched this one this morning. Chapter 4? It’s called Wilding, anyhoo. JC digs a pond. Then another one. Gets stuck in the mud. Builds a dam (that leaks a lot.) Ignores the uk.gov. wildlife inspectors. Has Caleb with tractor and Caleb’s brother, with tractor, help him pull his tractor (which is connected to a […]
Tommy. Tommy. Tommy. Every freaking time he serves me, I enter LALALAND. Today it was Carry On films and lots of very bad puns from him. Carry On Henry : He was the one with the big chopper. Carry On Don’t Lose Your Head : Citizen Big Cheese. I said that Carry On Screaming was […]
Himself has been working by here today. Apparently, he’s taken tons of photos for me to look at. His best line was one stolen from Eddie and Ritchie in Bottom : There’s loads of pencil-tangles in here. Translated as PEN-tacles. Well, love. That’ll be why it’s called THE DEMON CHURCH. Yes? He called them PAGANS. […]
…A Pocket Full of Rye Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie. When the pie was opened, the birds began to sing… Wasn’t that a dainty dish to set before a King? Off the top of my head vibe. Something about …the king was in his castle counting out his money The queen was […]
He does it to me every time I go in the shop…involves me in something or other! Lovely young man. But a natural trouble-maker :o) Early this morning, I’m in the queue, he’s talking to the woman he’s serving and then involves me. “I’ve got this song in my head,” says he. “But I can’t […]
Simon had four cats – like me – each with his/her own personality. This reminds me of DeeDee. Black as the Ace of Spades and rescued from a farm stable. Even then she’d sit with her back to me when miffed…taking a sneaky peek over her shoulder to make sure that you knew that she […]
I had no idea. We’ve only watched the first 3 chapters of 8. Apparently : A STAR IS BORN. He’s 21 years old. Went to London once with the school and never got off the coach. He’s travelled as far as Banbury and that was enough. And he now has a squillion admirers on tok-tik-aGram. […]
I’m having a Very Stupid day today :o( Amongst the cheap plants that I bought the other day in the clearance sale from the garden centre down the hill were two limp Artemisia dracunculus. I had no idea what they were but felt sorry for them. Aaah. Anyhoo : I’ve just learned the other names […]
