I am finally doing constructive things
today which is jolly dam good indeed (I have returned to Dam not Damn; what is
it with the English language). So have been painting a room Orange , now when I say orange, I mean serious
in your face orange not some wishy-washy, mamby-pamby hint of orange. But there are reasons for this as the room is
due to have stuff on the walls that will mix well with this. OK my Bright red
Watkins Guitar might clash a little bit but that is a musical statement in the
making…… It is a known fact too that Zombies will not stay in a room this
colour and get uneasy about using strong colour, although ironically it helps
their completion and emphasizes their pale skin tones. But then Zombies and DIY
have never mixed well.
We now have a magpie who
arrives every morning and shouts at us through the patio doors, magpies are not
particularly musical but they are noisy and demanding as well as very clever.
The trouble is they are rather mercenary too so will happily eat anything and
everything so when they land on the bird table to eat all the seed and bread
they will then eat any conveniently sized small bird once the food has gone. As
well as do rotten things that are best not said in front of small children
(……..Me).
While on the subject of
doing rotten things in front of small children it is time for my round up of
Britain today in the Olympic games……… I know we have won more rowing medals.
People complain about the unfairness of the British social class system; but it
has a few advantages. One being rowing, us working class folk are rubbish at
rowing, although we are quite good at those paddle boats that weight half a ton
and hardly move despite almost killing yourself pedalling or turning
handles……….. Come in Number 6 ……………… Are you in trouble Number 9…….
What
us ordinary folk are good at are running about, a bit of jumping and the
general ducking and diving (no not in the water) of life and maybe a bit of
throwing stuff over walls to get rid of it.
So I have been hanging in there to see how we got on tonight with the
running and jumping stuff and the like.
Well
knock me down with a feather us plucky Brits (Not me as such) have done it
again, it has all gone to plan and everyone is leaping about hugging one
another waving gold medals. It a bit
like have a barbeque with loads of people turning up and it all goes to plan.
Still in a couple of days all will start to return to normal and us cynical
folk will be able to relax as the dawn of normality arrives…..
Oooooo by the way has anyone noticed dads Steam Powered Hedgehogs yet..... They are working well cool.

Q: you have the words "ironically it helps their completion" - um, did you mean "ironically it helps their complexion" ?
ReplyDeleteGlad you aRe doing better. I have been eXtremely busy for the last few days helping someone with their AC unit, so I haven't been reading much, eXcept for technical reading on an AC problem. Cooper and I aRe doing better now, though, being in a post pizza position. Yawn, I'm veRy tired, I must sleep now. Ooh, more yawns.
You are right Mr ESB I may go and change that although there is a sort of logic that says anyone spending too much time in a room that colour will become a zombie. So maybe i will leave it as it is, I need to talk to some zombies and get their view point on it.
DeleteNormally it is a waste of time they look think and go "AAAAAuuuuuuuugghghgghgghghhhhhhh eat brains", not entirely helpful.
Hope the AC is working again and life is getting a little cooler outside.
