As you know (on the blog)
today being Sunday it is a day off from the long pitter-patter of tiny letters
towards Z on the great A to Z challenge, and is my way I have of course entered
into the true spirit of it as I write
the slightly eccentric A to Z of Fairy tales. But as I said today is a day off
and so I am bringing my diary up to date with the events of the week, which I
have to say has finally seen a slight improvement in the weather with sun
although not much heat. I have also started doing one or two of my allocated
tasks, painting straight lines although it is not easy on walls with rubbish
edges, I have complained to the walls about it, but to use the well known saying
‘It is like talking to a brick wall’, but then it is a brick wall . . . . . . .
. AH mum says I’m an IDIOT and I should be painting not typing. I have also done a little tongue and grove
wood panelling in another location, although I have got distracted and have not
quite finished that.
I have also discovered
that I can not draw a guillemot, I was planning to draw one million of them for
the letter G fairy tale on Monday, but as I cant draw that well, and to put it
bluntly am not sure what a guillemot looks like and cant be bothered to find
out it is a bit tricky. And I have been told that goats and green beans are not
part of their diet normally and they prefer fish but then fish don’t fly
gliders and goats do….
One small technical error
in trying to complete this foolish task of writing the greatest A to Z of fairy
tales known to man is I am also drawing pictures for each letter so I have
stupidly doubled my work. It is amazing
how many of the blogs involved in the A to Z are from writers and budding
writes who dream of writing the greatest A to Z of fairy tales, although they
cant because I am, but I do find it interesting that given the day off they don’t
then write anything on their blogs or attempt to draw a guillemot as one IDIOT
will be a bit later. I am also doing my bit an trying to visit as many of the
other blogs as I can without going gaga and so far have looked at a whole 363
blogs (mum has said IDIOT again).
OK I am off to paint
straight lines again now, did you know guillemots don’t have straight lines
although they do fly in straight lines. When I say fly in straight lines I do
not mean they are in a straight line and flying, I refer to the way they fly,
it would form a straight line if someone followed them with a pencil and joined
up the dots so to speak…….

I'll probably write today too. I have some blog style housekeeping to do. I've visited maybe 50 A-Z blogs, and I have to say, a couple of them are really good...
ReplyDeleteYou may notice Mr Flip I have added your blog, Hill Block Views to my list of favourite blogs below, I rather liked your approach to the F word (NO not that one readers). And if you can keep ticking along as you are I might make you a member of the blogging worlds most elite group, it is elite because in general people plead to not be a member. I may get a couple of the other members to see what they think....
DeleteWe are known as RATs (the Radical Abstract Thinkers) and our motto is 'Once see never remembered', OK its not a great motto but very useful during a bank raid.
Ooooo I agree about the blogs by the way but I do gravitate towards certain types of blogs.
DeleteOoh Rob Z, I think that Mr McFliperson would make an excellent member of RATS, as he too, seems ever so slightly deranged...did I say deranged? Apologies, I meant humourous. :)
DeleteThanks Miss Lily I will make him sweat for a bit first though, maybe after we get to Z. HAH HAHHAH HAHAH HAH HAHH HAH AHHAH HA ha... .... ... Ooooo but dont tell him . . . . . . .AH DAMN.
DeleteYou are an ambitious fellow, I must say. I'm just visiting blogs today, and listening to old Echo and The Bunnymen songs. It's just right for a lazy rainy Sunday. But yeah, there are chores LOOMING...
ReplyDeleteEco and the Bunnymen . . . . a good choice and thanks for calling by again, only a few keep coming back....
DeleteGotta say Rob Z, that I am loving the drawings that accompany your A-Z posts. You are a most audacious child of cyberspace, for going to all that effort, for we mere followers. :)
ReplyDeleteJust mad Miss Lily not many will Write, Draw and post a Tune for each letter, but then I am the one and only Rob Z Tobor
DeleteAnd I have some good followers, despite the figure of 93 showing I think its about 12 at present and I am cool with that as I can respond to comments without to much stress.
You got me thinking about flying in straight lines, when I realized how impossible it would be for a bird to fly in a straight line for veRy far because foLLowing a straight line would mean needing to fly into outer space. It would also mean that people living on a round planet never travel veRy far typicaLLy in a straight line either without entering the ether of outer space. We are curvy travelers with an illusion of lines on a map wrapped around a baLL.
ReplyDeleteWhat? You are writing fairy tales? I did not notice that, I just figured they were autobiografickle accounts of Wales and Near Wales.
DeleteI did accomplish something today, as I trimmed my grape vines. They have little tiny leaves starting. Cooper was glad I spent time outside with him, and he just now asked me for something.
DeleteThere is no sign of tiny leaves here yet
