Whilst sheelaghs washed their frocks by night

Getting my party attire ready for this evening
already done my stretches for the dancing which will be taking place later
not fully recovered from my cold so I will wrap up warm
More pix next year

Have a song instead...

AULD LANG SYNE - attributed to Burns.

Should old acquaintance be forgot,and never brought to mind ?Should old acquaintance be forgot,and old times since ?
CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
And surely you’ll buy your pint cup !And surely I’ll buy mine !And we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,for auld lang syne.
CHORUS
We two have run about the slopes,and picked the daisies fine ;But we’ve wandered many a weary foot,since auld lang syne.
CHORUS
We two have paddled in the stream,from morning sun till dine† ;But seas between us broad have roared since auld lang syne.
CHORUS
And there’s a hand my trusty friend !And give us a hand o’ thine !And we’ll take a right good-will draught,for auld lang syne.
CHORUS

A time to cast away stones

still hacking, coughing and spluttering
hee hee
plus a visit to Dracula's castle today
bit of an MOT
for me
having a metamorphosis
starting to paint my Butterfly wings
choosing my colours
adding some moon dust
listening to the rhythms of the Earth's heartbeat

The value of found objects

Arctic conditions outside
waiting for my muse
been thinking
at college we are meant to study other artists
emphasis on the great masters
studying a few contemporary ones recently
for inspiration
putting a few finishing touches to the hat
found a little "something" in 12 KRS
to finish it off
so to speak

Saturday 27 December 2008

the immoveable obect is starting to shift

Tidying and surfing today
with some washing, cleaning and shopping
bit of blogging
and some feeding...

Technically Christmas Day

Ok here's the deal
if they can open the prezzies
they can have them

sounds fair to me
now do you understand why I don't have children
A very Merry (:)) Christmas to you all

Back to Life

Back to normal (for me) today
another office lunch tomorrow
apparently I need to put on my glad rags
the devil in me wishes to dress as a dirty old tramp
time and a place etc etc

Still Alive and kicking

It's all self inflicted
I will call it the lost weekend
Thank goodness it is only once a year
the post office party trawl around the pubs in Liverpool
with ensuing memory loss that I cannot put down to age
Black Friday they call it -
that puts excessive pressure on our national health system
still fragile and shaky on Saturday
quietly relaxing sofa Sunday
The party season has begun
Did do some dancing...
no more details
tee hee
been sedating the cats all weekend with the central heating
though they still appear for snax and cuddles
every now and again
Sid is here now
and then he is gone
back to bed
oh no back again
he's a cuddle addict
he could never go to another owner as it would be cruel
nobody would ever cuddle them as much as me
I love the trust we have established
at one time I thought I couldn't even look after myself properly
let alone the cats
now he is upside down curled up in a ball and purring
he has never been teased and keeps his claws in
usually - unless he gets very excited over a game
bit like me really
well on that note it must be time for bed
doncha think...

Them...again.

Sorry for using the F word in my last post
and I don't mean fat!
hee hee

les chats
ils sont couchee
dans ma chambre

bought them some chrissy prezzies
googly eyed butterfly and a dragonfly
filled with catnip
mmm... I think they have sussed it

not only do they have radar ears
but
the sense of smell is
sooooo acute

oh how I love them

Tuesday 16 December 2008

Fat is a feminist issue

Having a fat day and it is not even Christmas yet
watching Bridget Jones part 2
"Everlasting Love"
oops it has just gone a bit weird
need a dose of Tom (Jones) on You tube
love his new song

Still working hard

Omi ... first christmas dinner
seagulls on the backburner

there are pictures but am sure nobody will give me permission

Fry day

will take my camera

Wednesday 10 December 2008

Beneath my feet











Smart little seabirds
unable to take the best photo
as I was still driving
two ornate street lamps
one on either side of the road
Both... with a seagull on !
as I said before

cheeky little beggars

no further progress with the hat
due to a lack of gin
(don't ask)

Tuesday 9 December 2008

More Seagulls












cheeky little beggars
one or two distant views
and then a low flying squadron manoeuvre (sp)
just at the entrance
difficult to whip the old camera out
when there are colleagues around

I'll get them next time

Monday 8 December 2008

Dreaming of Spring

Once you start noticing them
they start noticing you
(hey ! you looking at me)
the seagulls escorted me up the road to work today
a light welcoming chatter
and some graceful low flying antics
one had what looked like a biscuit (?) in it's mouth
male , female , who knows?
with my head at a 180 degree angle
who cares?
oh yes , the picture
just cos I like it...
