Back to my Hugeonots.
I have been to this church, I have the certificates for the BMDs saved to my Tree.
Sadly they have moved the gravestones now.
A painting.
Gummy says I never smile. I think I may have inherited that.
Speaking of ladies compression stockings reminds me of my Aunt Betty when the brother and me were kids, she always got dolled up on a Saturday night to go out, where to we hadn’t a clue nor did we care, she was probably in her thirties at the time.
She had nice smooth unblemished white legs but she always put this light brown creamy stuff all over them to make it look like she had nylons on. She’d then wash it off her hands and the next thing was she opened a round box of powder with a kind of hand mop fluffy thing inside and she patted powder all over her face, lastly came the screaming red lipstick. Then it was on with the coat and out the door. We never saw her come back because we were in bed asleep by then.
She seldom smiled and I often wonder what she had on her mind back then, some man no doubt.
This is a Red Lipped Batfish, Aunt Betty looked something like this old girl of the sea when she frowned, the lips are exactly the same colour red.
So ladies (and of course the few gents) next time you have lipstick on and feel like a frown take a look at this picture, you may want to smile instead.
Are you trying to tell me something Jem?

Are you trying to tell me something Jem?
How could you even think such a thought Sweetie, honestly nothing was further from my mind.
If I have something to say I always say it up front, fact is I really did have an Aunt Betty, God be good to her she never married in the end and died an old single woman when she was 85.
I see Kylie Minogue has had to cancel her Dublin and Belfast concerts Gummy, what a shame. She has a throat infection. She promises to buy us all a drink next time she’s here.

“I promise I’ll be back as soon as possible and at 100%. (The Guinness will be on me!) We’re working on rescheduling and more details will follow. I’m so, so sorry to let you down and thank you for your understanding”

I noticed she knows how to spell Guinness properly, not like someone else I know from Australia.
My family have already just seen her. They thought it was a fantastic show.
Lucky them.
BTW Jem you know I tease. x
I am back to the 1700’s with both distaff and spear sides - with provenances that is - could go back much further with possibilities. The further back you go the harder it becomes to find proof. Some of mine are in the Genealogy section.

Not my words, but they’ll do
I am off for my SANATOGEN folks.
Things are not always what they theme to be innit
Church records Tabby, I am good with those.
Good Night Possums. X
I must agree with Sweetie. I too,have heard Charlotte sing live…and she really IS am amazing and natural talent.
[don’t have any of her vynal 45’s or 78’s though]
TodayI am thinking of the concept of ROUND
Round round get around, I get around, yeah
(Get around round round I get around, ooh-ooh) I get around
Fom town to town (get around round round I get around)
I’m a real cool head (get around round round I get around)
I’m makin’ real good bread (get around round round I get around)
(Beach Boys)
You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round round round
You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round round round
(Dead or Alive)
Round like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain, or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that’s turning running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind
(Dusty Springfield)
More when I get a round TUIT
Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle in your head
Why did summer go so quickly?
Was it something that you’ve said?
Lovers walk along a shore
And leave their footprints in the sand
Was the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand?
Pictures hanging in a hallway
or the fragment of a song,
half-remembered names and faces
but to whom do they belong?
When you knew that it was over
Were you suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the color of her hair?
A circle in a spiral
A wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind!
Oh,is it time for some verse?
Ok-I’ll try,for better or worse.
'though I’m n-no good at g-grammar
and h-have this st-stammer
oops! [bowel movement] where’s my wet nurse?!?!?
Ah Windmills of your mind, The Thomas Crown Affair with the brilliant (well I thought) Steve McQueen.
What ever happened to that cake Richard Harris left out in the rain?
I love all things round, it’s my favourite shape, funny how people ask you what’s your favourite colour, song, film, etc., but never ask you what’s your favourite shape.
All the important things are round, atoms, busts and bums, planets, and most important to us, the Sun. Seems to me that round is the perfect shape for travelling through the universe.
How smoothly the Earth revolves because it is round, if it were to wobble a fraction of a degree we’d all be gonners.
I’m off now to get a round in the local, yes I get around alright.
I’m running round in circles, what else can I do?
I’m trying to get organised, but then I spotted you
I’m running very fast you know, never slowing down
I have a smile upon my face, you’ll never see me frown
I’m running round in circles, I think it’s time to stop
I just can’t find the ending, it’s rather like a clock
I’m getting rather dizzy, with all this running around
I just can’t stop I think, until I hit the ground
Sweetie:lol:
Umm…[I know you’ll all pile in on me for this,but,after reading those UK/EU threads,I see just how low we Brits can sink when ‘discussing’]…
anyway…JEM…me auld mate -atoms.
Atoms are actually clusters,consisting of distributions of electrons,neutrons and protons-[none of which is ‘round’ btw]
Planets tend to be ‘spheroid’ in shape,due to the equator of any planet travelling faster than it’s poles.
Corgis running on roundabouts actually run in straight lines,which are centrifugally drawn toward the central axis of spin.
However…your turn to get a ROUND in! Just attempting clarification,Jem-NOT putting anything/one down,so PLEEEEZE don’t be annoyed. [Physics is my speciality]
People make the world go round. X
Oh.
I know nuffink.
I NO thassa fakk,cozz I keep gettin messidges wot tell me so.
