That will learn him!

Now I'm not one to be troubled by things with 8 legs, granted if I saw that cat approaching it would freak me out greatly but I'm guessing its a photo shop job and not a real cat.... is it? (joking)

But I know people are troubled by them, 8 legged things, spiders in particular, as opposed to octopi, squids and related arachnids, I know one person that really really is and funnily enough I was talking today, with said person and someone else and the two of them were comparing ways of getting rid of spiders.

They both said they use hair spray, deodorant and various other aerosols on them, we all chuckled about how the spiders look nice and smell lovely afterwards, all seemed quite harmless, not for the poor spider obviously, but surely no harm can come to a human from doing such a thing.....

THINK AGAIN

I was pondering on whether to write anything or just leave the post in purely visual form, I decided not to, write anything, you will have to decipher it yourself!

(ok so I did write something, derrrrrrr)

(but I have given no explanation, nor shall I, maybe in a future post, but not in this one)

Soppy Head!


As opposed to the stress head that my last post refereed to.

Work related things are still a tad stressful but at the moment I don't really care as I have now lost the stress head and replaced it with a soppy head.

I guess its not really a soppy head, more of a contented, happy and looking forward to the future head, not the Futureheads (love this song)...(and this is a cracking acoustic version) also love many songs by the wonderful Kate Bush who did the original, if I had to choose a favourite (and I know you are expecting me to) I would say its this one, but most if not all of her stuff is excellent, old and new. I may well have mentioned before in a previous post, memory goes as you age apparently, I think thats what I was told anyway. (just listened to the cloudbusting track as I was typing this, WOW, forgot how truly awesome it is)....(good video too, brings a tear to the eye, well does me lol, but then I did say I had a soppy head on)

Gone off track a bit haven’t I, apologies, well it has been a funny week or so, a sort of funny day too but not necessarily in a bad way, puts things into perspective though and reinforces how bright the future is (gotta wear shades) …. (couldn't resist another link, after all, I am clearly overdoing it with them)

Probably rambled enough now, but then its never stopped me before, well it has, but it wont now, think I have a bit more rambling left in me for today.
 
Isn't nature a marvellous thing, in many many ways, but I refer to the pic at the start of the post, anything that can produce something so wonderfully beautiful (as in nature) surely qualifies as a marvellous thing. The pic itself is of Tupai and I found it (I don't mean I discovered it, that was James Cook in 1769 (well he was the first European anyway) although I do wish I had found it, long overdue a holiday and what a wonderful place to go while on one (a holiday) going by its appearance I would think it would be an ideal honeymoon venue too (although I shouldn't imagine its habitable by the look of it, who knows, let me know if you find out, thanks)

As I was saying, I found it (although I didn't, obviously) embedded in this article published in Feb, it contains lots of other lovely heart shaped places too, like I said, its a marvellous thing nature, and love, well heart shaped things in general really, especially if you have a soppy head on :-)

Stress Head!


I'm not normally a stress head, I know someone who is, he can be very much mr stress head, its become something of a standing joke actually, although in saying that he has got better as he has got older, I guess we all (most of us) mellow with age, as opposed to wrinkle with age, which is something we definitely all do (botox/surgery lovers excluded) but I'm not here to talk about him, it wouldn't be fair, OK, maybe another day.....

So why am I a tad, wee, tiny bit of a stress head, well, its like this.....

It's ok don't panic, I'm not going to bore you with it, it's all work related anyway and as much as I love my work (as mentioned before) it can, just sometimes, get a bit too stressful (as most if not all work can at times I know) and today (and the last few days) is (has been) one of those times for me, but just knocking this quick post up has helped already, as did speaking to a good friend earlier, all I need to do now is have a lovely bath, plenty of tea, interspersed randomly with chocolate and I will be back on an even keel again :-)

Thanks for listening :-)

Fancy That!






Two posts, in two days, granted, neither are about flowers or chocolate (or fence posts) although I do ADORE chocolate (and know someone that feels the same about flowers) but it's still two posts in two days.

The purpose of the post, well, I just wanted to share a link..............

THIS ONE

Rather quick work by Super Mario, given it was only officially announced a few hours ago, clever graphics at the start too, could be an interesting 9 or 10 months :-)

Chuckle Time (not chucklevision)



So, I was laying there, in the bath, I do like a bath, that’s a lie, I do LOVE a bath, shower in the morning, bath at night, got to have a system, when the above song blasted out on Planet Rock (one of the best DAB stations I might add, although many are good)...(sure I have mentioned it before in a previous post) and I had a little chuckle to myself a little chuckle about the song, well its title and chorus line, but that’s another story.....

That was a rather large paragraph wasn't it, I will try to keep this one shorter, but by adding that bit I have already wasted words I didn't need. Anyway, there I was, laying amongst the bubbles, listening to the above track (while chuckling for certain reasons) and I thought to myself, they really weren't so bad were they, Queen, the first album I bought when a wee me was Queen Live Killers and upon said album was probably one of my favourite live tracks (this is part 2 of said track, yes its long but so worth listening to it all), although in saying that and as daft as it sounds, when I was younger I didn’t really rate them as much as I do now, the fickleness of yoof.

Two long paragraphs, this will be shorter I assure you as I have nothing more to say for now, goodly byedly :-)

I feel let down

I really do, it’s terrible, well maybe that’s a slight over exaggeration, ok, a major exaggeration, but it is annoying.

I should explain realy shouldn’t I.

As anyone that has read previous posts will know I sometimes put a link into the post to a song on You Tube (you tube) and that’s what I planned to do with this post, a song about a monkey with its tail, that’s actually the name of the song, monkey with your tail.

So I trundled off to You Tube (you tube) to find said song and I couldn’t, found the lyrics (if you are interested) and also a small snippet of said song on a different site but couldn’t actually find the song, as I said, I feel let down.

On a side note, well sort of, its still monkey related (bless the little monkeys) I wanted a pic to accompany the post of a sad monkey (it sort of made sense really) and the one I found ^^^^^ up there^^^^^ was one of the first, as much as it’s a good colour top (anything that shade of blue is good) I will state categorically that I do not condone the dressing of monkeys in clothing, or the placing of them in play pens, if it were cold maybe a jumper would be ok (as long as its blue) but it clearly isn’t cold as the monkey is indoors, I’m joking, a jumper wouldn’t be fine at all, monkeys are not little humans, although a program I watched last year  would suggest that some (American) people believe they are, very strange program, very strange people…….

Before I go (and I will shortly) I did manage to find this song by the same group that does mention a chimpanzee in it, not the song I wanted but on a Sunday a compromise has to be reached around such matters I think :-)
