It reminded me of "Alice's Restaurant" .... Woman LOL

 

I still listen to that every now and then.

I sat through the first (quite enthralling) minutes of Alice's Restaurant before I realised that it's not a music clip, ha ha, it runs for just under two hours.

I shall have to massage my schedule in order to take it in, in it's full cinematic glory, so I don't find myself glued to the screen, overlooking those other things that I should be attending to... ha ha...

Scene: A little house, in the woods.

Little Red Riding Hood enters the house and discovers her Grandma in bed...

Little Red Riding Hood; "My, Granny, what big eyes you have..."...

Little Red Riding Hood; "My, Granny, what big ears you have..."...

Little Red Riding Hood; "My, Granny, what big teeth you have..."...

Granny; "You know, you Are the least favourite of my grandchildren..."...

 

Ha ha...

That was ten or so days ago, and I can't be bothered taking a new photo because they don''t grow that fast, ha ha...

They're apples, grown from seed.

Now all I have to do is keep them tended and watered and wait for two or three years until they're healthy little saplings, then replant them where I want them, and hopefully my grand plan to replenish the garden will, metaphorically, take fruit.

If the apple tree that's grown wild in the garden is anything to go by, they won't bear fruit of any consequence, but that's not an issue - all I want is green, leafy trees to take the place of the the older ones as they fade away, gracefully... ha ha...

Re: the nothing ,anything ,everything thread

If shaking hands, and hugging are are sure fire methods for spreading infection, what might my options be...?

I'm not so keen at the idea of waggling my foot at someone, entertaining idea though it might be... ha ha...

I think I'll follow the example set by the Japanese - A short bow, from the waist... I think I can manage that, ha ha...

 

As an odd thought to tack on, just for the sake of it, ha ha, I wonder if the Ethyl alcohol in hand sanitiser is taxed at the same rate as Johnnie Walker Red label... ha ha... 

 

And before you ask, yes, I am enjoying having a front row seat to watch the Henny Penny's (Of "The Sky Is Falling!" fame) of the World and their amusing antics.

It's like the "Killer" flu of last Winter, and no doubt the ones yet to come for many years ahead, if it's going to get me then it's going to have to break through the impregnable toilet paper fortress I've built for myself, first, ha ha.

 

Keep smiling, guys... This isn't the way the World ends... ๐Ÿ˜‰

Re: the nothing ,anything ,everything thread

In light of the demand for, and increased use of hand sanitisers, due to the current "Health emergency", I thought I'd post this - it's about Muslims and the use of alcohol based hand sanitisers; an information sheet from a UK manufacturer of hand sanitiser.

Just, because like me, you might be curious about how people whose Belief forbids the consumption of alcohol, and how, indeed,  whether Ethyl alcohol based hand sanitisers fall under that prohibition.

Apparently not...

There you have it. Now you know something you didn't know five minutes ago.

Don't thank me, ha ha, it's all part of making this an interesting, and at times educational community.

Re: the nothing ,anything ,everything thread

They said it'd rain, and it is... ha ha... Who would've thunk? ha ha...

I find myself at a bit of a loose end... There's things I could do, but the chances of that happening are fairly slim, ha ha...

I mean, what if I was vacuuming and there was a thunderstorm?

Aren't you supposed to unplug the TV and the computer in those circumstances?

How dangerous would it be for me to be doing house work...? ha ha...

That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it... ha ha...

 

 

There's a compact vine growing on the old pine tree, out the back.

As it's grown out, away from the trunk, it's died back, leaving a tangled nest of branches and vines.

It's been raining pretty much for the last ten hours, not that you'd know it from looking at the sparrows sheltering in the vine...

They're absolutely bone dry, ha ha...

They're not silly, they know where to sit out the rain, ha ha...

 

It looks a bit like a sturdier version of a maidenhair fern.

Small, compact leaves that obviously offer top grade cover to sit under when it rains, ha ha.

Why I had a single gumboot, I don't know, but it ended up having holes drilled in the sole and acting as a pot for the little vine.

The vine must've agreed with my choice, because it's taken off in leaps and bounds, ha ha.

I didn't really want to cut the old tree down, so I went for the second best option - a bit of "natural Christmas decorations", ha ha...

After all those years of having to live in soulless, imaginationless, spartan, antiseptic, institutional beige painted single rooms, it is so good to have a patch of land, no matter how small, where I'm free,  free, to create, to enjoy.
