Computers are the new Sofas and Zombie Woodlice


Had it not been for the fact I looked out of the window late last night and saw snow; this morning would have been a serious shock to the system, it was still a bit of a shock to see us back in the middle of winter with a vengeance. But the day got even odder as it progressed because round about lunch time the sun was out and it was actually quite warm outside and there was snow on the ground, although the snow was melting rapidly. By five o’clock everything was green again and you would have assumed it had been a lovely spring day, all I can say is it was all very odd, and I don’t think dad was using his Weather Machine either.

As a result of the confused weather I don’t appear to have done much I sort of fitted a shelf back where it was fitted before, I say sort off because it is all a bit iffy and it is still a bit iffy but the space to work on it is limited. And it appears that cats are rubbish at DIY and using a screwdriver, I’m sure mankind must have domesticated cats for a reason it cant just be to run about giving them food when they make lots of noise and sink their claws into you. Dogs at least understand Latin (useful as this new Pope seems to use loads of it) and can do mathematics, plus robotics and chainsaw juggling.  Cats even demand you cut a hole in your back door to put a cat flap in and then refuse to use it and expect doors opened on demand (like the food). 

   

I got distracted again sorry about that. . . . . . I did a small tiny bit of painting too and I poked about inside a computer and found one penny from 2008. I have now found money in three different computers but not enough to make it worth dismantling all the computers in the world.  Maybe old computers will become the new old sofas. Back in the past when sofas were made properly they had spaces designed into them for things to get lost in, and it was traditional when you visited granny to stick your hand into all the spaces and grovel about looking for gold and uncle Arthurs Rolex or the missing budgerigar from 1953, because granny thought she heard it the day before.  You don’t get sofas like grannies sofa anymore the modern ones don’t have secret voids for things to hide in for decades and sadly the modern sofa does not last as well as the old ones. Our old sofa was WELL COOL it had a huge colony of woodlice living in it, well I say living they were generally dead but what was weird it that they  would all get sucked up in the vacuum cleaner but six months later it would have another huge colony of woodlice who were sort of dead.  I wonder if they were Zombie woodlice WOW that really is WELL COOL  . . . . . . . . . .DAMN that sofa went to the big furniture store in the sky (sorry I mean skip).

AH I might have got side tracked a bit again there and I didn’t get to mention the huge monster snappy thing with big teeth and lots of legs , , , , , ,DAMN.

  1. We were quite lucky today because we didn't get any snow! infact we didn't even get any frost this morning, must be in a tiny tropical climate that nobody has told us about!
    I've been out tonight trying to see the aurora but the flipping clouds have come over just as its about to reach us.
    Is it just me or are we getting spoilt with a lot of sky stuff recently?
    First comets and meteors and now massive solar storms making the sky turn green (albeit above the thick clouds) Strange times are afoot!

    1. I have been out to look Mr H but have not seen anything but our bedroom points north and we have no light pollution so the curtains will be open so if something happens I will see it, unless I am sleeping. We have a clear sky at present so I hope it stays like that.

      I am looking forward to the strange times although in the original film about the triffids it was a bad move to watch the skies, so I might look at the sky with only one eye at least then the other one will still be OK and I can run away from triffids. . . . . Best to be safe.

    1. Thanks Mr H just a little something I threw together, as it happens its one of those things were there is just the one and it repeats to make a cool pattern. Feel free to nick it if you want to use it for anything.

      In fact its an image that I am happy for anyone to use so please do.

    2. I would never steal from a fellow RaT. But I have used this as an opportunity to try a new look. I fear complaints will be forthcoming... hahahahaha

    3. I liked the new look Mr H it was easy to read and get about and that is what the punters like. We are word-smiths and so it needs to be easy on the eyes. I may change from the purple yet, but it good to do these things from time to time.

  3. Snow and sun, all in one day.
    I blame it on evil rays emanating from cyberspace.

    1. I am rather hoping they are not evil but if this weather carries I will get grumpy.

  4. I am horrid-zontal and flu-ish slightly. Some things taste okay but then after eating I feel terrible. Noise-wise my wife is watching a marathon of old NCIS and Cooper just burped and his breathing is labored. I am thinking maybe spring allergies - say, isn't Spring in just a few days?!?!? Hoo-ray! It was a strange day earlier when I found out some low-life had messed up my credit card by trying to buy something in Hong Kong for around six hundred dollars. Luckily the CC fraud system stopped it.

    1. Hope the credit card thing is sorted, someone somewhere has got your details it is a tricky think to protect them these days. You will have to try and work out where you have used the card in the last couple of weeks, where you normally don't.

      I do hope spring does turn up the weather forecast here is not good for the next week with more snow forecast. And I hope Cooper and yourself are OK.

  5. "Oh damn"...was the first thing out of my mouth on seeing the new look. I like it Rob Z. I like it a lot!

    Woodlice are in the same ilk as boiled eggs, Brussels sprouts and Paris Hilton. All fashioned by Satan. :)

    Did I mention that I like the new look?

    1. Glad you like the new look Miss Lily but it may change slightly yet it depends on how fickle I am feeling, and time. I don't mind woodlice but hate Brussels Sprouts and Paris Hilton (I think, I am not entirely sure who they are), I am OK with boiled eggs though but I think it is ages since I ate one of them. And I would be happy to stay in the Hilton in Paris as long as they don't serve Brussels Sprouts or woodlice.
