..is my new favourite word. :-)
 I got a Christmas card in the post today! Thank you Eleanor if you are reading this.  From where I was sitting my decoy duck looked as if it had a halo over it's head.  It's the small things :-) ..make me happy. They don't seem to be having the same effect on the frog.  ..from a programme I listened to tonight. Sir Hunphrey Wakefield whose home was to be inherited through the female line, said ..so there I was, wandering around, looking for something wonderful to do. I just love his attitude! And look! They're flying our flag!  ..you don't succeed, have some cake, said Mole.  Does it work? asked the boy.
Every time, said Mole From the wonderful book The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse by Charlie Mackesy They get too much for Christmas, said Gran. It's really shocking. In my young day you got a few nuts in your stocking, an orange and an apple and a hanky from your aunt and you were grateful for it unlike modern kids who aren't. So we put apples in her stocking as many as we could fit and was she grateful for it? No she wasn't, not a bit. From a little book which makes us chuckle each Christmas - Funny Poems For Christmas compiled by Paul Cookson
Yesteday I got an urgent email from a garden centre telling me it was my last chance for priority booking for Father Christmas.  Sorry. I am only just able to contemplate the end of summer! Having beautiful weather too. Posting this under Simply Chill and Simply Laugh.
..have to laugh at the gongs-on at 10 Downing St. (Sorry I can't credit this.)  You know I like a bargain.    Didn't know whether to laugh or crry!
Managed to say no to this one. . Put it under Simply Laugh. ..in the city. I felt quite disorientated in the city today. So many empty premises, so many shops moved, so many disappeared without trace. Monsoon has even run out of cloothes!   I have just sent this card to my sister. I'm sure she won't mind me sharing it with you! Can yu make it out?   Today was absolutely beautiful and I had lunch outside for the first time in ages. ..that by just changing your coffee for green tea
you can remove an amazing 87% of the remaining joy in your life? :-) In a florist's window - FLOWER SHORTAGE! PANIC BUY HERE. ..in all it's complexity - diversions, road works, scaffolding, high viz jackets and hard hats, road signs, sandbags, queues, petrol stations, ambulance and fire engine sirens, temporary barriers and pedestrian footpaths, new buildings going up so fast, old landmarks disappearing, it strikes me that it is a bit of a miracle that things function as well as they do! A little bit of silly provides light relief...  Isn't it an odd thing that triangles of cloth attached to a bit of string should make us smile? I get a tiny spark of joy every time I look at this.  |
