My day

[freddie*rooster]

After several hours during the week clearing and cleaning up a messy garden my day started like this

Sounds like a lovely weekend, B3. Hope the weather is good for your cruise 🙂

Morning all.

Just about got the paperwork licked I think. Off to the accountant early next week.

Still clearing unwanted bits and pieces from the spare room in readiness for kids to move back home. First time in my life that I have recycled books. 😞 Just so many that I am overwhelmed. They are not in real great condition though, some of them third or fourth hand. Wish Richo was here, he could help surely. lol.

No rain here, although some areas quite close had buckets full.

Hope everyone has a good day, whatever you are doing.

Good morning xxx

Winter is still here, if only it would/could snow! .... 

I've been working on the computer most of the night to catch up that which I have been neglecting/ignoring/procrastinating about but all done now.

Somebody was asking who was someone they would like to meet on planet earth, and I've decided it would be Leonard Cohen, the poet and singer.

But then, I wouldn't talk to him about music, we already have that in common;    I would want to speak to him about his own understanding of "life, the universe and everything" (quote from "The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy).   I met him years ago in Montreal on the train going to Quebec city but not long enough to really speak with him in any depth.

Second choice would be Neil deGrasse Tyson ...

Morning all, I'm back from my little holiday but have been keeping track of your posts and having conversations

with some off line.

Good to see you are all well.

Thank you to Helen for posting a funny for me while I was gone !

Here is my funny for today.

Jane initially met Tarzan in the Garden of Eden. She was attracted to him.
During her questions about his life, she asked him how he had sex?

'Tarzan not know sex,' he replied.

Jane explained to him what sex was.

Tarzan said ...'Tarzan use knot hole in trunk of tree.'

Horrified, Jane exclaimed, 'Tarzan you have it all wrong, but I will show you how to do it properly.'

She removed her leaves and laid on the ground.

'Here,' she said, pointing to her private part, 'You must put it in here.'

Tarzan removed his leaf, revealing to Jane his considerable manhood, stepped closer to her and kicked her in the crotch!

Jane rolled around in agony for what seemed like an eternity.

Eventually she managed to gasp for air and screamed 'Why did you do that?'

Tarzan replied, 'Always check first for squirrel.'

Hi All---Katy--you will be proud of me and shocked.lol.

Took a box of books--odds and ends-to a local bookshop last week.

Dropped 2 more boxes in this morning--when he makes an offer-

and im happy-will go out to the car and get out more.

Hope your OH is in full recovery mode............................Richo.

Now, now, naughty Vic this Thread is read by ladies,  we hold our little finger out when we drink our coffee or tea.

I've been reading around, doing bits of handyman, upholstery, sanding, stuff (as this lady knows how).  Googling, listening to people's musical suggestions.  And was absorbed by various video clips of Dave Allen.  Gosh some comedians observe life differently.

Felt a bit like royalty yesterday.  Curating my garden, I wandered along the shrubbery underplanted with native violets.  With the gentle off shore breezes, they were curtseying (sp?)bobbing and bowing to me.  Little old me!

Hi there Richo.  Books.  So many here too.  Some are a comfort.  Some have to be re-housed.  Thought about colour co-ordinating the hardbacks to sell as "decorating lots".  Will think more about that.  

Nana nap time soon.

Well I am a teeny bit shocked Richo. However sometimes the tide line just gets too high, and some books have to go. lol. OH is well, worked four mornings this week. He is supposed to be retired, but doesn't seem to know the meaning of the word. 

Too hot here for gardening DEB. I have been to the library, and done the grocery shopping so that is it for today. OH wants pasta for tea, and that is easy. 

Who would I like to meet Tas? I think Hitler, then I could poison the b. before he could wreak havoc on the earth.

[katymatey*]

Speaking of books that comfort, I have one that I reread a lot. Called 'Nella Last's War'. Somehow I connect with her personality.

[amber-eyed-girl]

Katy, what you say about Hitler is interesting. When the actor Peter O'Toole was a little boy, he saw a news reel at the cinema, of Hitler. He hated him on sight without knowing anything about him. Many years later he jumped at the chance to do the movie Rogue Male, as he played a man attempting to kill Hitler.

I think my favourite book is one called "Donna Roon" by Nuri Mass - set in the Blue Mountains of NSW

I think I must have read it three or four times - mislaid my copy when we moved once and managed to find another copy on line.
